Wrinkle Relaxers
Neuromodulators
Neuromodulators are FDA-approved injectable treatments that temporarily relax specific facial muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.
They work by using a purified form of botulinum toxin type A to gently block the nerve signals that tell muscles to contract. When those muscles relax, the overlying skin appears smoother and softer.
Common treatment areas include frown lines (the “11s”), forehead lines, and crow’s feet. Treatments are quick, minimally invasive, and require little to no downtime. Results typically appear within a few days and last about 3–4 months.

Jeuveau is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines (the “11s” between the eyebrows). It is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A that works by relaxing the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles.
Often called “Newtox,” Jeuveau is used exclusively for aesthetic purposes. Treatments are quick, typically taking 10–15 minutes, with little to no downtime. Most patients begin to see visible smoothing within a few days, with full results appearing in about 7–10 days. Results generally last around 3–4 months.
Jeuveau is a popular option for patients seeking a modern, refined neuromodulator specifically tailored for cosmetic wrinkle reduction.

Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that softens the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows and can also be used off-label to treat other dynamic facial wrinkles. Like other neuromodulators, it contains botulinum toxin type A, which temporarily relaxes targeted muscles to reduce wrinkle formation.
Dysport is known for its smooth, natural-looking results and may begin working slightly faster for some patients—sometimes within 2–3 days. Full results typically develop within a week, and effects usually last 3–4 months.
Because of its unique formulation and diffusion properties, Dysport can be especially effective for treating larger treatment areas, while still maintaining natural facial expression.
