Neuromodulators in Los Angeles, Orange County and San Francisco
Reverse signs of aging and prevent wrinkles with neuromodulators such Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jueveau. Rather than spending thousands on surgical treatments later in life, or consistently spending hundreds on anti-wrinkle serums, many people are using neuromodulators to stop signs of aging from developing.
While the name neuromodulator may sound a bit intimidating to those unfamiliar, they’re all FDA-approved and deemed safe treatments. And, their ability to relax muscle fibers and prevent muscle contractions provide consistent and reliable results for those looking to keep their face (or other body parts) looking forever young.

What are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are compounds that relax muscle, prevent wrinkle formation, and are injected directly into the target muscle area. Various neuromodulators all work a bit differently, but they all essentially regulate how signals are transmitted between neurons.
Neuromodulator injections target a group of neurons in a given treatment area, altering the strength of neuronal signal transmission. In layman’s terms, they can prevent strong muscle contractions — which, over time, cause wrinkles.
This restriction of movement and relaxed state can lead to:
- Less oil production
- Fewer age-related blemishes (like wrinkles, fine lines, Crow’s feet, etc.)
- A reduction in sweating
- Facial contouring for a younger-looking appearance

Unlike other neuromodulators, Xeomin contains a single ingredient, whereas others have proteins and additives. Because of this, it may be less likely to produce allergic reactions.
Main Benefit:
- Great for Fine Wrinkles, Quicker Results
Jeuveau has the same main ingredient as Botox, and there’s hardly a difference. Though in some cases, patients respond particularly well to Jeuveau. This neuromodulator is known for being especially effective at treating “Glabellar Lines” which are the creases in the skin on your forehead, above your nose.
Glabellar lines can give the impression that you have a furrowed brow or are always expressing disapproval. These wrinkles emerge prematurely in certain people and can be brought on by emotional tension and stress. Jeuveau is especially effective at getting if of these forehead wrinkles and it is also less expensive than similar neuromodulators.
Main Benefit:
- Great for Frown Lines
