Neuromodulators to relax the facial muscles, which decreases the lines and wrinkles. Different neurotoxins include: Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, Xeomin, which all last 3-4 months, and the new Daxxify, which lasts 6 months. Daxxify is great if you know you like the result, but if the injection is new, you might start with one of the shorter acting neurotoxins.

In addition to cosmetic uses, neuromodulators (also called neurotoxins) can reduce migraines and even anxiety. Neuromodulators can relax your crows feet, furrows between the eyebrows, lines across your nose, and the muscle that raises the eyebrows. And it can plump up the lip with a "lip flip"! Choose an injector who knows the anatomy because looking natural is better than looking unnatural. The price varies. You are paying not just for the substance in the bottle, but also the person injecting it into your face. They should be artistic, well-trained, experienced, knowledgeable about the anatomy. You pay more for quality.

When to start? The earliest for cosmetic uses is in their late 20’s or early 30’s for people with lines at rest, especially on their forehead, those will increase and deepen as they get older.
