Neuromodulators
What are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that temporarily relax targeted muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles caused by facial expressions like smiling, frowning, and squinting. Below are the top three Neuromodulators offered at Leigh Ashton Aesthetics:
Botox®
Smooths moderate to severe lines such as forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and crow’s feet. This FDA-approved treatment typically begins to show effects within 3 to 5 days, with results lasting around 3 to 4 months.
Dysport®
Works quickly, often delivering noticeable results within 2 to 3 days. Known for its ability to spread quickly, Dysport® is perfect for treating larger areas like the forehead and provides results that can last up to 3 to 4 months.
Xeomin®
Eliminates fine lines with a purified, “naked” form of botulinum toxin, which contains no unnecessary additives. This formulation reduces the risk of developing resistance, making Xeomin® a great choice for long-term use. Results typically appear in 3 to 4 days and last about 3 to 4 months.
