Have you ever caught your reflection in the mirror only to find those tell-tale signs of aging staring back at you? Do fine lines and crow’s feet seem to have appeared overnight, etching the passing years onto your face? In a world that values youth and vitality, it’s natural to seek a solution that not only erases these signs of aging but also restores your confidence.
At H-MD Medical Spa in Oklahoma City, OK, we understand this desire for a timeless, radiant complexion. That’s why we’re proud to offer neuromodulators, a key to unlocking a rejuvenated self without invasive procedures.
What Are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are a class of substances used in aesthetic medicine that temporarily alter nerve signals to specific muscles, particularly those involved in facial expressions. Botulinum toxin products like Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, and Jeuveau® are the most well-known examples of neuromodulators in cosmetic treatments. These products are often referred to simply as “neuromodulators” in the context of cosmetic treatments.
Neuromodulators block the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter at the junction where nerve endings meet muscle cells. Acetylcholine is responsible for transmitting signals from the nerve to the muscle, causing muscle contraction. By inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, neuromodulators prevent the muscle from contracting.
How Can Neuromodulators Transform Your Look?
Smooth Out Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Neuromodulators are particularly effective in smoothing expression lines, such as forehead lines, crow’s feet (around the eyes), and frown lines (between the eyebrows). By relaxing the underlying muscles, the skin appears smoother and more even.
Prevent New Wrinkles
Regular use of neuromodulators can reduce existing wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming. By limiting the muscle movements contributing to wrinkle formation, neuromodulators help maintain a youthful complexion over time.
Lift and Contour
Strategic placement of neuromodulator injections can lead to a subtle lift in certain face areas. For example, injecting neuromodulators into the muscles that pull the eyebrows down can gently lift the eyebrows, opening up the eyes and giving a more awake and refreshed look.
Improve Symmetry
Facial asymmetry can be effectively corrected through the targeted use of neuromodulators. By modulating muscle activity and restoring balance on both sides of the face, a more harmonious and symmetrical appearance can be achieved. This subtle correction can enhance facial aesthetics and contribute to a more balanced overall look.
Soften a Square Jawline
When injected into the masseter muscle, neuromodulators gradually reduce its size, leading to a less pronounced jawline. This softening of the jawline contours can transform a square facial structure into an oval or heart-shaped appearance, often considered more feminine and aesthetically pleasing.
How Long Can Neuromodulators Last?
The duration of the effects of neuromodulators can vary depending on several factors, but typically, you can expect the results to last between three and six months. Several elements influence this timeframe, including the individual’s metabolism, the area treated, and the amount of product used. For instance, areas with more muscular activity, like the forehead, might see a quicker return of movement, hence a shorter duration of the visible effects.
Regular maintenance sessions are often recommended to sustain the desired appearance, as the muscle activity gradually returns as the neuromodulator wears off. Over time, some individuals may notice that the intervals between treatments can extend slightly as the muscles become conditioned to being more relaxed.
Which Neuromodulators Do We Provide?
Here, we offer a comprehensive range of neuromodulators to cater to our patients’ diverse needs and preferences. Each product has unique characteristics and advantages, ensuring we can tailor our treatments to achieve the best possible results.
Botox
One of the most renowned and widely used neuromodulators, Botox is synonymous with wrinkle reduction and anti-aging treatments. It is highly effective for smoothing expression lines such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines.
Dysport
Like Botox, Dysport is mainly known for its ability to deliver natural-looking results. Dysport is often chosen for treating moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows without altering the look or movement of the rest of your face. Dysport’s formula can sometimes provide results faster than other neuromodulators, making it a preferred choice for some patients.
Xeomin
Unique in its formulation, Xeomin is often called the “naked” neuromodulator because it contains only one ingredient: botulinum toxin type A. This purity means there’s less risk of developing antibodies against it, making it an excellent option for long-term treatment. Xeomin is highly effective for treating frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet.
Jeuveau
The newest addition to the neuromodulator family, Jeuveau is specifically designed for aesthetic use. Jeuveau is particularly effective at addressing glabellar lines — the frown lines between the eyebrows. Jeuveau has been gaining popularity for its efficacy and is dubbed “Newtox.”

Each neuromodulator, be it Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau, offers unique advantages and may work differently based on individual skin types, muscle structures, and aesthetic goals.
