The most famous wrinkle treatment is often referred to by a word that starts with B.
That is the trade name of the original Medicine derived from botulinum toxin that was used to treat squint eye and eye muscle spasm.
Because it is a ‘toxin’, the B name was a combination between Botulinum and Toxin.
The science is that this is a purified protein derivative that relaxes muscles. When the muscles relax they stop pulling in the skin above that causes wrinkles.
There are many different forms of toxins that treat wrinkles today, so the broad category is called ‘neurotoxins’.
For all purposes in our articles, blogs and websites, we will refer to botulism toxin and its derivatives as neurotoxins or wrinkle treatments.
Many people think that wrinkle treatment is just for the forehead to avoid wrinkles. Actually, at Live Younger clinic in Calgary, there are so many services for so many different concerns.
A neuromodulator is a purified protein that relaxes muscles that cause wrinkles. Muscles of facial expression move daily as you speak, laugh, talk, frown or smile. These muscles strengthen over time. As they get stronger, they cause the overlying skin to wrinkle. The stronger the muscle, the deeper the wrinkle.
Neuromodulator blocks the nerves that tell your muscles to contract. Wrinkles soften when they don’t receive these messages to move. It is like stopping weightlifting. Muscle gets smaller and weaker when you stop working it out. This gives you a softer, smoother look.
These treatments are Health Canada-approved for frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). Many millions of people have used this treatment to help them achieve the youthful appearance they want. Neuromodulator Cosmetic ® also treats other facial wrinkles.

Your wrinkles will soften or disappear, and your eyebrows will lift, making you look more alert and refreshed. You will appear more youthful. With repeated treatments, your skin quality will improve, and pores will look smaller in the treated areas.
For deeply etched wrinkles, fine lines will remain but look about 80% better. Tiny needles are used to inject into the muscles causing wrinkles, resulting in a slight tingle for most treatments.
After treatment, patients typically experience pinpoint redness around treated sites, which usually resolves within minutes. Light makeup can be applied at the clinic to conceal any redness before you leave. Results gradually appear between three and 14 days post-treatment. Our Neuromodulator cosmetics in Calgary can also reduce the intensity and frequency of headaches when areas like the forehead and glabella are treated.
Occasionally, some people may experience a mild headache. Rarely, a bruise may occur at the injection site if there are many veins in the area. Live Younger offers a guarantee on your results, ensuring you can rest easy knowing our experienced injectors will provide reliable outcomes.
