Neuromodulators

Neuromodulators are injectable medications that temporarily relax facial muscles. Common examples include Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. They work by blocking the signals between nerves and muscles, preventing the muscles from contracting and reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

Common Types:
* Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA)
* Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA)
* Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA)
* Jeuveau (prabotulinumtoxinA-xvfs)
* Daxxify (daxibotulinumtoxinA-lanm)

Pros: Minimally invasive procedure, effective for reducing wrinkles and fine lines, improves facial aesthetics, relatively quick procedure with minimal downtime.

Cons: Temporary results (lasting 3-4 months), can cause temporary side effects like bruising, swelling, or mild discomfort, not suitable for all types of wrinkles, repeated injections needed to maintain results.

Alternatives: Fillers, laser skin resurfacing, microneedling, surgical procedures (facelift).

Recovery Time: Minimal downtime, typically a few days for injection sites to heal completely.

Disclaimer: Neuromodulators are not suitable for everyone. Consultation with a qualified healthcare professional is necessary to discuss potential risks and benefits.
