Anti-Wrinkle Injections
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are three different injectable neuromodulators used for the treatment for fine lines and wrinkles. Neuromodulators are comprised of botulism toxin type A, which, when injected into the muscle, prevents the muscle from moving which causes lines and wrinkles at the corners of the eyes, between the brows, and horizontally across the forehead. Most facial expressions involve muscles that act in opposition, so paralyzing a muscle that might pull down the corner of the mouth can result in a happier appearance, and the same is true of the forehead region. Neuromodulators are being used by younger to prevent these lines from forming in the first place. In addition to signs of aging, neuromodulators can also be used to provide balance to facial asymmetry.
