Neuromodulators

A popular injectable used at the practice is neuromodulators. A neuromodulator is a medication that can be injected directly into muscles to relax muscles and limit muscle contractions. This allows the skin to smooth out, reducing the depth and appearance of wrinkles and folds of the face. Popular neuromodulators used at the Center for Dermatology and Dermatologic Surgery include Botox®, Xeomin® and Dysport®. These three brands provide similar results and allow patients to improve their appearance for several months before requiring reinjection for maintenance.

Does it hurt?
