What are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are injectables that temporarily relax nerve activity in the muscles to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. They smooth dynamic lines caused by repeated facial expressions–think frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet.
The effects of neuromodulators typically begin to kick in within 3-7 days and show peak effect by 2 weeks. The results last 3-4 months on average but can vary between each individual.
Neuromodulators are the most effective way to reduce wrinkles without surgery.

Will neuromodulators completely erase my lines?
