Neuromodulators/Botulinum Toxin

Neuromodulators/Botulinum Toxin (Botox/Dysport)

Botox and Dysport are neuromodulators that work by blocking certain chemical signals from nerves that cause muscles to contract. The most common use of these injections is to temporarily relax facial muscles that cause wrinkles and expression lines.

How Neuromodulators Work:

• They block the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions.
• By inhibiting acetylcholine, the treated muscles relax, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and lines.

Common Treatment Areas:

• Forehead lines (líneas de la frente).
• Frown lines (entrecejo).
• Crow's feet (patas de gallo).
• Bunny lines (líneas de la nariz).
• Chin dimpling (hoyuelos en el mentón).
• Neck bands (bandas platismales).

Key Benefits:

• Reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
• Provides a more youthful and relaxed appearance.
• Results are noticeable within a few days and can last for several months (typically 3-6 months).
• Minimally invasive procedure with no downtime.

Important Considerations:

• Botox and Dysport are brand names for different formulations of botulinum toxin type A. While they work similarly, there can be slight differences in dosage and results.
• The treatment should be administered by a qualified and experienced medical professional.
• Results are temporary, and repeat treatments are necessary to maintain the desired effect.
• There may be some minor side effects, such as bruising or swelling at the injection site, which usually resolve quickly.
