Neuromodulators are a class of injectable treatments that effectively reduce the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles. These innovative substances work by temporarily relaxing the underlying facial muscles responsible for the formation of wrinkles, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin. With their ability to soften dynamic wrinkles, neuromodulators have become a go-to solution for individuals seeking a non-surgical approach to facial rejuvenation.

​

Neuromodulators offer a range of benefits that contribute to their popularity. First and foremost, they deliver noticeable results with minimal downtime. The injections are quick, virtually painless, and require no recovery period, making them an ideal choice for those with busy schedules. Additionally, the effects of neuromodulators are temporary, typically lasting around three to six months, depending on the product you choose. This ensures that any potential adjustments can be made to suit your evolving aesthetic goals and preferences over time.

It’s important to note that neuromodulators are not limited to cosmetic uses alone. They have also been approved for therapeutic purposes, such as addressing medical conditions like chronic migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD).

Here at APF, our preferred neuromodulators are the well-known and trusted brand BOTOX® and DAXXIFY ®, which contain a purified form of botulinum toxin. This neurotoxin is meticulously injected into specific target areas, where it blocks the release of chemical signals that cause muscle contractions. By inhibiting these muscle movements, neuromodulators minimize the appearance of crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines, providing a rejuvenated and refreshed facial appearance. Daxxify® is the newly FDA approved neuromodulator that we are loving here at APF.  While Daxxify® is also used to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, what we love is that Daxi is powered by peptides, and the effects show up quicker and are expected to last 4-6 months.
