Neuromodulators: What Are they Made Of and How Do they Work?

Botox ou Dysport, or more precisely botulinum toxin, are a highly purified, naturally occurring protein that has the capacity to accurately relax the muscles to which it is applied. The skin over the treated muscles gradually becomes smoother to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and dark spots. The effects of the treatment last for several months before the muscles gradually return to their original condition.

In Which Areas of the Face are they Injected?

They are most often injected into the face’s areas where expression lines appear (forehead and temples). Wrinkles occur because, as we age, the skin loses its elasticity. Therefore, when a muscle in any of these areas undergoes repeated movement, the skin no longer returns to its original shape. Very often, the injections target forehead wrinkles, but also frown lines (between the eyebrows) and crow’s feet (corner of the eyes).

More areas can receive neuromodulators injections:

  • Vertical wrinkles on the lips
  • The bitterness folds (each side of the mouth up to the chin)
  • The wrinkles of the nose, nostrils
  • The chin
  • The neck

Before making the decision to take advantage of neuromodulators injections, it is important to consult, as hyaluronic acid filler injections may be more suitable for you.

How Long Do the Effects of Injections Last?

The effects of neuromodulators begin to gradually disappear from 4 months after the first procedure. After that, the effects can last for 6 to 7 months, due to avoiding moving the affected muscles. To take care of your skin on a daily basis, EQlib offers you a multitude of effective products to prevent and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
