Neurotoxins, or neuromodulators, are a class of drugs that help to treat facial wrinkles by relaxing or paralyzing the muscles that cause those wrinkles. At Meridian Plastic Surgery, we carry three different types or brands of neurotoxins: Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau. They all have similar mechanisms, but slight differences as shown below.
