What are neuromodulators?
Commonly known as Botox®, Dysport, or Xeomin, neuromodulators are muscle relaxants administered through small, targeted injections tailored to each patient’s anatomy.
While well known for aesthetic benefits, they also provide effective therapeutic relief for certain conditions affecting oral health and facial comfort.
