Injectables - Based Neuromodulators

What Are Botulinum-Based Neuromodulators?

These injectables are derived from a purified form of botulinum toxin. When injected into specific facial muscles, they temporarily inhibit nerve signals, preventing repetitive movements that cause expression lines. They are especially effective for dynamic wrinkles—those that form through frequent muscle activity.

How Do They Work?

• Inhibit acetylcholine release at neuromuscular junctions

• Relax targeted facial muscles (e.g., glabella, forehead, crow’s feet)

• Reduce the appearance of fine lines and prevent new wrinkles from forming

Benefits

• Quick treatment time (10–20 minutes)

• No downtime required

• Prevents wrinkle deepening over time

• Can be used for medical concerns (e.g., migraines, excessive sweating)

• Complements fillers and other aesthetic treatments

Frequency & Recovery

• Results begin within 3–7 days, peak at 2 weeks

• Effects last 3–4 months

• Avoid lying down or vigorous activity for 4 hours post-treatment

Is It Safe?

Yes, when administered by qualified professionals. Side effects are rare and may include:

• Temporary bruising or swelling

• Headache or mild discomfort

• Rare eyelid drooping (minimized by expert placement)
