Neuromodulators

Neuromodulators, including Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Daxxify, are effective treatments for reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. These injectables relax the muscles responsible for creating wrinkles, providing a smoother, more refreshed appearance. At New Radiance Cosmetic Centers, our skilled injectors can help you achieve natural-looking results tailored to your specific needs. 

What is a Neuromodulator? 

Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that use botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce muscle activity, smoothing out wrinkles caused by facial expressions. BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport, Xeomin, and Daxxify are prescription treatments effective in temporarily improving moderate to severe facial wrinkles. They commonly treat areas like forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, and wrinkles between the eyebrows. Clinical trials have evaluated the safety and effectiveness of BOTOX treatments for various conditions. Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume, neuromodulators focus on relaxing the muscles, which contribute to wrinkle formation. 

What are Neuromodulators and How Do They Work? 

Neuromodulators are a type of prescription medicine designed to temporarily relax muscles by blocking nerve signals. They are widely used to address various cosmetic and medical conditions, including frown lines, forehead lines, and excessive sweating. Our neuromodulators include Botox, Dysport, and Daxxify. 

These treatments work by injecting a small amount of the medication directly into the muscle responsible for the wrinkle or contraction. The botulinum toxin in the medication blocks the nerve signals that cause the muscle to contract, leading to a temporary relaxation of the muscle. This effect can last for several months, depending on the individual and the specific neuromodulator used. 

Neuromodulators are derived from botulinum toxin, a neurotoxin produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. While botulinum toxin can be harmful in large quantities, the small, controlled doses used in neuromodulators are both safe and effective, providing a reliable solution for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and other conditions. 

At New Radiance, we offer the following neuromodulator treatment options:

Botox: Botox is a popular neuromodulator derived from botulinum toxin type A, most often used to treat frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. However, it can also be used off-label to address other signs of aging. Results typically last 3-4 months. 

Dysport: Dysport is also a botulinum toxin type A product but is formulated slightly differently than Botox. It is known for spreading more easily across a broader area, which makes it ideal for treating larger regions, such as the forehead. Results generally last 3-4 months. 

Xeomin: Xeomin is a botulinum toxin type A product that is “naked,” meaning it does not contain accessory proteins. This makes it a purer form of botulinum toxin. It is often a good option for patients who may develop resistance to Botox or Dysport due to their added proteins. Results typically last 3-4 months. 

Daxxify: Daxxify is the newest botulinum toxin type A product and is unique due to its peptide-enhanced formulation, which extends its longevity. Results can last for 6-9 months for some patients.

Versatility 

Neuromodulators can also be used for conditions like excessive sweating and may help reduce migraines. Botox is also used to treat increased muscle stiffness associated with upper limb spasticity. 

Potential Risks and Side Effects 

While neuromodulators are generally safe and effective, it’s important to be aware of potential risks and side effects. These can include: 

• Trouble breathing or swallowing 
• Spread of the toxin effects to other areas of the body 
• Drooping eyelids or eyebrows 
• Facial asymmetry 
• Headache or facial pain 
• Skin infection at the injection site 

Before undergoing a neuromodulator treatment, it’s crucial to discuss all your medical conditions with your doctor, including any allergies. Additionally, inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking, including over-the-counter medicines and prescription medicines. This comprehensive disclosure helps ensure the treatment is safe and tailored to your specific needs. 

Candidates for Neuromodulators  

Neuromodulators may benefit anyone experiencing dynamic wrinkles that appear when they smile, frown, or squint. They are ideal for individuals who want to minimize the appearance of lines and wrinkles without undergoing surgery. A consultation with one of our experts can help determine if Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Daxxify is the right choice for you. 

The Neuromodulator Treatment 

Neuromodulator injections are quick and minimally invasive. During the treatment, a small amount of botulinum toxin is injected into the planned injection site in specific muscles to temporarily reduce their activity. The process typically takes about 15 minutes, and you can return to your daily routine immediately afterward. Results become noticeable in a few days, with full effects visible within two weeks. 

Neuromodulator Results and Recovery 

Neuromodulator treatments offer results that last between three and nine months, depending on the product used and individual factors. No downtime is required, so you can return to your normal activities right after the procedure. Follow-up treatments help maintain the results, keeping your skin looking smooth and youthful.  he results, keeping your skin looking smooth and youthful.
