Neuromodulator help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles to help your skin look smoother and more youthful. Our licensed providers use neurotoxins such as Dysport or Botox to treat frown lines, forehead lines, lines around the eyes know as crow’s feet, gummy smile, and much more. Neurotoxins help leave your skin looking youthful and fresh.

What are Neuromodulators?:

Dysport and Botox are both neuromodulators that help relax your muscle by inhibiting the action of a neurotransmitter called, acetylcholine. By doing this, it freezes the muscle and causes your lines and wrinkles to smooth out. Neuromodulators work great on dynamic wrinkles, which are the wrinkles that develop because of repeated facial movements, and they can help soften the appearance of static wrinkles, which are the wrinkles that are formed regardless of muscle movement.
