NEUROMODULATORS
Revitalize Your Skin's Appearance
Neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport are injectable treatments designed to temporarily relax facial muscles, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother, more youthful complexion. Both are derived from botulinum toxin type A and are FDA-approved for cosmetic use. They effectively target dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases.
