New year, new you—why not start 2025 with a more youthful, refreshed appearance? Neuromodulators like Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® are some of the most popular non-surgical treatments available today to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Whether you’re dealing with crow’s feet, forehead lines, or frown lines, neuromodulators can smooth away years of expression lines, giving you a fresh start for the year ahead.
What are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that use botulinum toxin to temporarily block nerve signals in the targeted muscles. This prevents those muscles from contracting, which in turn reduces the formation of lines and wrinkles associated with facial expressions.
The most well-known neuromodulators are:
Botox®: The most widely recognized and FDA-approved neuromodulator.
Dysport®: Another popular option with a slightly faster onset of results.
Xeomin®: A purified form of botulinum toxin, effective for relaxing muscles and smoothing wrinkles.
These treatments are primarily used for dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by muscle movement. If you find yourself with wrinkles around your eyes, forehead, or mouth when you smile, frown, or squint, neuromodulators can provide a non-invasive solution to help smooth those lines and restore a youthful appearance.
Why January is a Great Time to Try Neuromodulators
January marks a new year full of potential, and it’s the perfect time to take action when it comes to skincare. Here’s why January is the best time to consider neuromodulator treatments:
New Year, New Confidence: The start of the year is the perfect opportunity to refresh your appearance and invest in your self-confidence. Smoother skin and a more youthful look can give you a boost for the year ahead.
Post-Holiday Stress Relief: After the hectic holiday season, you deserve to treat yourself. Neuromodulators can help combat the stress-induced wrinkles and fatigue that may have developed over the past few months.
Minimal Downtime: Neuromodulator treatments are quick and require little to no recovery time, so you can fit them into your busy schedule. In fact, most patients go right back to their usual activities immediately after treatment.
Preventative Benefits: Neuromodulators aren’t just for smoothing existing wrinkles—they can also be used to prevent future lines from forming. Starting early in the year can help you maintain a youthful appearance as you age.
What to Expect During Treatment
Neuromodulator treatments are quick and easy, typically taking 15 to 30 minutes depending on the number of areas treated. A fine needle is used to inject the product into the targeted muscle groups, and there is minimal discomfort—most people compare it to a small pinch.
After the procedure, you may experience some minor redness or swelling at the injection sites, but these side effects typically resolve within a few hours. There is no downtime, so you can resume normal activities immediately.
Results and Longevity
Results from neuromodulators typically become noticeable within 3 to 7 days after treatment. The effects last for about 3 to 4 months, depending on the individual and the area treated. As the effects wear off, you can schedule follow-up treatments to maintain your smooth, youthful appearance.
Is a Neuromodulator Right for You?
Neuromodulators are ideal for individuals who want to smooth away fine lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions without undergoing surgery. If you’re bothered by crow’s feet, forehead lines, or frown lines, a neuromodulator treatment might be just what you need.
Neuromodulators can be used in conjunction with other skincare treatments, such as dermal fillers or laser treatments, for a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
