Rejuvenate your face without losing your natural expression
Over time, stress and repeated facial expressions can leave marks on your skin in the form of expression lines. If you want to soften and prevent them without losing your natural look, neuromodulators are an excellent option.
At Instituto Dermatológico García-Legaz, we help reduce muscle activity in specific areas of your face, restoring a more relaxed and rested appearance—all without invasive procedures.
Science and beauty in balance
Neuromodulators work by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter involved in muscle contraction. Their application through microinjections temporarily reduces the activity of specific facial muscles, achieving controlled relaxation.
At García-Legaz, we emphasize that this procedure does not completely paralyze the muscle; rather, it reduces its activity just enough to achieve a more relaxed and rejuvenated look, smoothing dynamic wrinkles—all while preserving your face’s natural expressiveness.
Facial wrinkles and beyond
Neuromodulators are an excellent option for reducing wrinkles in the upper third of the face and other specific areas. The most common applications include:
Beyond their aesthetic use, neuromodulators also offer therapeutic applications, such as treating hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), relieving bruxism by relaxing the jaw muscles, and reducing migraines and chronic pain by minimizing muscle discomfort caused by involuntary contractions.
In expert hands
Every face is unique and requires a detailed analysis to determine the optimal areas for neuromodulator application. During the preliminary evaluation, strategic points are identified to ensure a harmonious result.
Marking these points allows us to tailor the treatment to your facial expression, balancing wrinkle softening with the necessary movement for a fresh, natural appearance.
That’s why it’s essential to trust neuromodulator specialists like those at Instituto Dermatológico García-Legaz, where we ensure precise application and the appropriate dosage to maintain your face’s natural look and avoid any stiffness.
