NEUROMODULATORS
Neuromodulators are drugs that temporarily reduce movement of muscles that cause wrinkles. Some patients see results as soon as four days after injection but full results are seen after 2 weeks. These drugs are indicated for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines (Glabellar lines) in adults age < 65 years old and may also be used for off label purposes such as crowfeet, forehead lines, masseters, etc. These drugs can only be used by health care professionals experienced in the injection of botulinum toxin. The optimal dosage and number of injection sites in the treated muscle will be chosen by your health care provider.
