Neuro Modulator/ Wrinkle Relaxers is a neuromodulator that works by blocking the communication of neurotransmitters between your nerve endings and muscle. It is a purified protein which is used to temporarily relax muscles thereby reducing dynamic lines on forehead, around the brows, eye, peri-oral lines and other specialized areas. During treatment very low doses are administered to specific muscles to relax them.
