How Neuromodulators Smooth Wrinkles and Fine Lines

Neuromodulators are a class of injectable treatments that relax targeted facial muscles, preventing them from contracting and causing wrinkles. Botox and Dysport, two of the most popular neuromodulators, are made from botulinum toxin, a protein derived from bacteria. When injected into the muscles, neuromodulators block the release of acetylcholine, a chemical that triggers muscle contractions. This results in a temporary smoothing of wrinkles and fine lines, with results typically lasting up to six months.

What Do Neuromodulators Treat?

  • Fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead
  • Frown lines between the eyebrows
  • Crow’s feet around the eyes
  • Bunny lines on the nose
  • Smoker’s lines around the mouth
  • Neck bands

Your Neuromodulator Options in Scottsdale

Botox

Botox is a neuromodulator made from botulinum toxin that has been used for over 20 years to treat fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck. When injected into the targeted muscles, Botox blocks nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, resulting in temporary smoothing. Botox injections are quick and relatively painless, with results lasting up to six months.

Dysport

Dysport is another popular neuromodulator in Scottsdale made from botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes the targeted muscles responsible for wrinkles and fine lines. Compared to Botox, Dysport may spread more easily on larger treatment areas. In most cases, the results are similar. Our medical providers will select the appropriate neuromodulator after an evaluation.

Neuromodulators FAQs

How do I know if I’m a good candidate for neuromodulators?

You may be a good candidate for neuromodulators if you are concerned about dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, or forehead lines. The ideal candidates are generally healthy, have realistic expectations, and are not pregnant or breastfeeding.

At what age should I consider neuromodulators?

There is no specific age to start neuromodulators; it depends on your individual concerns and aesthetic goals. Many people begin treatment in their late 20s or early 30s to prevent wrinkles from becoming deeper. Others may start later to address existing wrinkles.

How long does a neuromodulator session take?

Neuromodulator sessions are quick, often taking only 10 to 20 minutes. After a brief consultation, your provider will administer the injections to the targeted areas. There is no downtime, so you can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment.

Are neuromodulators only for the face?

While neuromodulators are most commonly used to treat facial wrinkles, they can also address other concerns. For example, they can reduce excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in areas like the underarms, palms, or soles of the feet. Additionally, neuromodulators can help with jaw slimming, gummy smiles, or even neck bands.

Can neuromodulators prevent wrinkles?

Yes, neuromodulators can help prevent wrinkles from forming by relaxing facial muscles and reducing repetitive movements that lead to dynamic wrinkles. Many people use them as a preventative treatment to maintain a smooth and youthful appearance.
