Neuromodulators (Wrinkle Relaxers)

Dysport

Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA), an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin, is used to temporarily smooth facial wrinkles, moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), forehead, crow's feet and alleviate muscle stiffness. It achieves this by relaxing the muscles, with noticeable results typically appearing within 2-3 days and lasting up to 5 months. Dysport is often considered slightly more cost-effective per unit than Botox.

Botox

Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA), is a neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulinum that temporarily relaxes muscles by blocking acetylcholine release, used for both cosmetic (wrinkles) and therapeutic (migraines, muscle spasms, bladder dysfunction) purposes. It is used to smooth dynamic wrinkles, such as forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet. Results typically last 3–12 months, with effects appearing within 1–7 days. Common side effects include bruising and swelling.

Xeomin

Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA), is a prescription injectable medication used to temporarily relax muscles, thereby treating wrinkles and certain medical conditions. It is commonly known as “naked Botox” because it is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A that lacks the “accessory” or complexing proteins found in other products like Botox or Dysport. Xeomin has received FDA approval for both cosmetic and therapeutic applications.
