Neuromodulators
Neuromodulators work by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles to soften lines and wrinkles caused by expression. They can also be used preventatively to slow the development of deeper creases over time.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between neuromodulators and fillers?
Neuromodulators relax muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles (caused by movement), while fillers restore lost volume or enhance features. Many patients benefit from a combination of both.
How long do results last?
Neuromodulators typically last 3–6 months. Fillers can last 6–18+ months, depending on the product and area treated.
Are the injections painful?
Most patients describe only minimal discomfort. Fillers are pre-mixed with lidocaine for comfort, and we can also use topical numbing cream.
Is there downtime?
Both treatments have little to no downtime. You may notice slight redness, swelling, or bruising, which usually fades within a few days.
Will I look “overdone”?
Our approach at IU Health is conservative and tailored to your natural features. The goal is always a refreshed, balanced, and natural-looking result.
