Relax Facial Muscles and
Soften Dynamic Wrinkles

Neuromodulators are injectables that relax targeted facial muscles to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They temporarily block nerve signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting. This smooths the skin and diminishes wrinkles, particularly dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions, like frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases. Neuromodulators can also treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) by reducing sweat gland activity. At Abrams Dermatology, we offer BOTOX and Xeomin to help patients achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance.

Neuromodulators Are the Ideal Treatment For:

  • Frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
  • Crow’s feet around the eyes
  • Forehead wrinkles
  • Bunny lines on the nose
  • Chin dimpling (orange peel texture)
  • Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)

How Do Neuromodulators Work?

Neuromodulators, such as BOTOX and Xeomin, block the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for transmitting signals from nerves to muscles. By inhibiting acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, neuromodulators prevent muscle contractions in the treated area.

This temporary muscle relaxation helps smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements, like frowning or squinting. The effects typically last 3 to 4 months, after which regular muscle activity gradually returns. Neuromodulators offer a non-surgical solution to achieving a youthful, refreshed appearance.

We Offer the Following Neuromodulators

BOTOX

BOTOX is the most well-known neuromodulator, trusted worldwide for its proven effectiveness in reducing fine lines and wrinkles. It is formulated with a unique protective protein complex that helps deliver consistent, natural-looking results. BOTOX is versatile, treating not only facial wrinkles but also conditions like excessive sweating, migraines, and jaw tension. Its safety profile and widespread use make it a top choice for patients seeking a refreshed appearance.

Xeomin

Xeomin is a highly purified neuromodulator with no protein additives, making it an ideal option for those who may have developed resistance to other neuromodulators. This “naked” formula minimizes the risk of the body developing a tolerance to the product over time, which ensures that it remains effective despite regular use. Xeomin Patients appreciate the natural look achieved with Xeomin and its ability to treat conditions like frown lines.
