Neuromodulators, also known as neurotoxins, relax overactive muscles in the face and neck. Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau and Xeomin work by blocking the communication between the nerve endings and the muscle. These injectable medications block muscles from contracting and reduce the repetitive movements that lead to wrinkles. They can also block the communication of the nerve with the sweat glands to help reduce excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
The effects of Botox, Dysport and Jeuveau injections are temporary and repeat treatments are necessary to soften creases and furrows.

What can be treated with Botox (Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin)?
Botox is a FDA-approved neuromodulator for moderate to severe frown lines between the brows (“11’s”), crows feet, forehead lines, and excessive underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis). Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin are all neuromodulators that were created after Botox so they don’t have as many FDA-approved indications. However, most experts use them similarly to Botox. All of the aforementioned products are used to treat and prevent worsening of wrinkles and fine lines as well as “off-label” areas to treat the following concerns:
