Neuromodulators are wrinkle-relaxing injections of botulinum toxin – commercially known as Jeuveau, Botox or Xeomin– that are used to treat wrinkles, frown lines and crow’s feet. A minute amount of the neuromodulator is injected directly into the underlying muscle, causing it to relax and gradually smooth out the appearance of the overlying skin. The effects typically last about three months.

Cosmetically, treatment with neuromodulators include:

⦁    glabellar lines, aka frown lines and 11s
⦁    wrinkles around the eyes, aka crow’s feet
⦁    forehead creases
⦁    nasolabial folds or smile lines
⦁    cobblestone chin
