Neuromodulators
Frown lines form when facial expressions are made as the muscle under the skin contracts. Over time, as your skin ages, these repeated expressions cause lasting frown lines.
​
Neuromodulators, such as Botox® & Dysport® are prescription medications that block the release of chemicals that cause these muscle contractions so frown lines are softened.

Neuromodulator Treatments Botox®& Dysport®
Both Dysport and Botox are effective in reducing moderate to severe wrinkles and fine lines.
Botox is the original brand cosmetic injectable who's name has become synonymous with Neuromodulators.
​
The active drug in both Botox and Dysport is botulinum toxin, which inhibits the release of acetylcholine causing your muscles to relax and your fine lines to diminish.
Once injected with this medication, your nerves will temporarily stop releasing acetylcholine, your muscles relax, and your skin smoothes out in the days following your treatment.
