    How Do Neuromodulators Work?

    Neuromodulators, such as Xeomin® and Daxxify®, are injectable treatments that temporarily relax the tiny facial muscles responsible for expression lines. By reducing muscle activity, they smooth wrinkles like frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet, creating a refreshed, natural look. Many patients also use neuromodulators preventatively to slow the development of deeper lines over time. Neuromodulators can also complement other treatments, including subtle lip enhancement without filler for a softer smile.

    Xeomin vs. Daxxify: Which Is Right for Me?

    Both Xeomin and Daxxify work by relaxing facial muscles, but they differ in formulation and longevity:

     

    Xeomin®

    Xeomin® is a purified option known for natural, consistent results.

    Daxxify®

    Daxxify® is the first long-lasting neuromodulator, with results that may extend up to 6 months or longer.

    During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the option that aligns best with your goals, lifestyle, and preferences. Neuromodulators may also be paired with facial contour balancing treatments to address both expression lines and volume loss.

    Common Treatment Areas for Wrinkle Relaxers

    Neuromodulators are most often used to treat dynamic wrinkles—those caused by repeated facial expressions. Common areas include:

    Frown Lines

    Frown lines between the brows (“11s”).

    Forhead Lines

    Horizontal forehead lines.

    Bunny Lines

    Bunny lines on the nose.

    Chin Dimpling

    Chin dimpling and jawline clenching (for softer contouring).

    What Results Should I Expect?

    Results begin to appear within a few days, with the full effect visible after about 7–10 days. The treated areas look smoother and more relaxed, but facial expressions remain natural. Depending on the product used, results last 3–6 months or longer. Neuromodulators can also be combined with long-term rejuvenation with collagen stimulators to create a comprehensive, natural refresh.
