Neuromodulators block signals from the nerves to the muscles. The injected muscle misses the impulse to contract, which makes wrinkles relax and soften. Most commonly used on forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines, Botox, Daxxify, and Xeomin are so versatile, their indications are in the double digits.

BOTOX®, DAXXIFY®, and Xeomin® are available at Poppi and may be used for:

• Brow asymmetry

• Frown wrinkles between the eyebrows (the “11’s”)

• Crow’s-feet around the eyes

• Forehead wrinkles

• Masseter muscle hypertrophy (Botox is injected into enlarged muscles near the jaw caused by clenching and teeth grinding).

• Brow lift

• Neck bands

• Neck wrinkles

• Excessive armpit sweating

• Gummy smile

• Migraine Headache Prevention

• Scars

• Acne

• Rosacea

Neuromodulators are a quick, safe, and effective way to freshen your look with no downtime. Wrinkles result from a combination of factors. Cellular changes, collagen depletion, free radical damage, and frowning cause the muscles between your brows to contract and your skin to furrow and fold. When you squint, smile, and laugh the muscles around your eyes contract. Wrinkle relaxers work beneath the skin's surface and target the underlying muscle activity. By injecting into muscles, they temporarily improve or eliminate frown lines and wrinkles revealing a rested more youthful look.
