Decreasing the contraction of certain facial muscles results in a more relaxed appearance, with significantly fewer expression lines which would turn into permanent wrinkles as the years progress. Many of us often keep a high level of tension in the face, out of simple habit; this can give the impression of having a harder, more tense character and send a wrong message about who we really are. With small, targeted amounts of neuromodulators, one can show a gentler, more relaxed face to the world.
The treatment is simple and takes about 10 to 20 minutes. With a surface anesthetic cream the treated skin areas are made insensitive. Thereafter, using a very fine needle, the neuromodulator is deliberately introduced into the muscles to be treated. Usually this treatment leaves no visible traces. Rarely, a slight redness or a bruise may occur.
A proper post-treatment is not necessary. Many people come for the neuromodulator injections for lunch and return to work in the afternoon as normal. The full effect occurs after two to seven days.
Long before you came up with the idea to use neuromodulators for aesthetic purposes of wrinkle treatment on the face, for example. Children treated with spasticity. Neuromodulators can also successfully treat blepharospasm, an uncontrolled spasm of the eyelid muscle. Furthermore, neuromodulators are ideal as a remedy for excessive sweat production in the armpit or on the hands and feet.
"B...x" is a registered commercial trademark, for a brand of neuromodulator.
Neuromodulators work by blocking the transmission of nerve communication at the nerve-muscle junction. That in turn decreases the contraction power of the muscles and therefore decreases the appearance of expression lines.
There is no other substance which in the right dosage, acts as well and in such a targeted, effective way. To this day, no side-effects have been detected, when the product is used and applied correctly.

Neuromodulators are not recommended if you have a lot of wrinkles or excessively loose or sagging skin. In these cases, wrinkles must either be first injected with added filler, or treated surgically. In the lower areas of the face, neuromodulators are generally only applicable in very small amounts, or is simply not considered an appropriate treatment.
The decrease in muscle contraction-force disappears approximately 3 months after the injections. Depending on the individual, their body mass and their metabolism, the effect can last anywhere from 3-6 months.
Yes, millions of treatments are given every day around the world, and no long-term negative side-effects have been identified to this day. On the contrary, with regular injections of neuromodulators into the upper facial expression lines, there is a progressive loss of contraction power in these muscles, which provides better and easier results. If neuromodulators are not injected for a period of time, the muscles then return to their original strength.
Yes, young people with still-elastic skin and only dynamic wrinkles, can delay the appearance of lasting or permanent wrinkles with regular neuromodulator injections.
In some patients, certain types of migraines can be relieved through treatments of neuromodulators in the forehead region. Many patients come exclusively for this reason to receive injections of neuromodulators.
Yes. Injections of neuromodulators into the region where sweat glands are located in the armpits can block secretions for 6-12 months. This effective treatment has shown no side-effects.
No. Modern technics of production and evaluation have rendered totally unnecessary such animal-based testing, on mice or any other animal. The same is true in many other fields as well, not just in neuromodulator production.
