Neuromodulators
Neuromodulators, sometimes called wrinkle relaxers, are a very popular non-surgical treatment.
Overview of Neuromodulators
Neuromodulators can help:

That’s why our DYSPORT® and BOTOX® neuromodulator injections are perfect, if you want to look more refreshed and relaxed, or if you’re currently living with migraine, hyperhidrosis or stiff muscles.
Overview
Neuromodulator injections have become the most popular cosmetic treatment in North America. Millions of treatments are now performed anually. It’s the most popular cosmetic procedure for anyone who wants to look more relaxed and refreshed.
And as you can see from the list to the left, there are multiple other ways neuromodulators can help you.
How do neuromodulators work?
Neuromodulators reduce signals from your nerves to your muscles, in the area where you’re injected. This stops your muscle from fully contracting, so it can no longer make the movements that cause you to have lines and wrinkles. However, rest assured that you’ll still be able to make positive facial expressions, but they may be less exaggerated than before.
The DYSPORT® and BOTOX® neuromodulators we use will soften your current wrinkles as well as prevent future wrinkles. After several months, your muscles will slowly regain full activity, and it will be time for your follow-up treatment.
If your wrinkles appear only when you make facial expressions, neuromodulators are recommended. If grooves and folds are present even when your face is at rest, fillers may be indicated to smooth out these areas. We would then recommend a combination of DYSPORT® or BOTOX® and dermal fillers in order for you to enjoy the very best results.
