Botulinum toxin injections classified as neuromodulators are used to alleviate wrinkles, frown lines, and crow’s feet. The underlying muscle is injected with a tiny amount of the neuromodulator, causing it to relax and gradually improve the appearance of the skin above it. These results normally persist for three months.
Although any neuromodulator can be used to treat crow’s feet and excessive sweating, only Botox has received FDA approval for these therapies.

How do they work?

Neuromodulators cause the signal between a nerve and the muscle they are attached to, to be interrupted, which causes the muscle to relax. Since wrinkles brought on by sun damage or sagging skin won’t benefit from neuromodulators, a competent cosmetic surgeon or practitioner won’t advise them for face lines that are not brought on by muscle activity. Neuromodulators, on the other hand, are useful for lessening the look of several conditions, including ageing or sagging skin, Crow’s feet, excessive perspiration or oiliness, frown lines and forehead folds, as well as some other wrinkles.
