What are neuromodulators?
Botulinum Toxin is a neurotoxin or neuromodulator. These substances target the nervous system, disrupting the nerve signaling processes that stimulate muscle contraction.

You will meet with a licensed healthcare provider who will assess your skin and discuss your goals for the treatment. They may also ask about your medical history and any medications you’re taking.
Injection: The Botox injection process typically takes only a few minutes. Your provider will use a fine needle to inject the Botox into specific muscles in your face.
