Neuromodulators
Neuromodulators, like Botox and Daxxify, soften existing wrinkles and fine lines and effectively prevent new ones. All cosmetic neuromodulator injectables contain a purified strain of botulinum toxin, which blocks the release of the chemical responsible for muscle contraction resulting in temporary muscle relaxation.
