Neuromodulators are most known for their application in aesthetic medicine. You’ll most commonly hear it used to reduce fine lines and wrinkles in the face and neck. But did you know that neuromodulators can use for therapeutic reasons? This is what is known as therapeutic Injectable. 

WHAT IS THERAPEUTIC Injectable?

Therapeutic Injectable is the application of neuromodulators in a non-cosmetic way. It can be used to treat migraines, TMJ syndrome, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and chronic muscle tension (that is not responding to other treatments).

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Injectable works by relaxing muscle movements to reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and pain due to tight muscles, reducing nerve activity and blocking the release of specific neurotransmitters that cause excessive sweating.

Relaxing muscle contractions/hypertonicity can lessen shoulder and back pain, muscle tremors, and jaw clenching.

Decreasing nerve activity relieves chronic migraines by reducing pain signaling by the nerves to the brain. This will reduce the potential for the brain to recognize that pain is present and stop the experience of pain.

Neuromodulators can decrease sweat gland activity by reducing a neurotransmitter that increases bodily secretions (i.e., sweat). By blocking the release of this neurotransmitter, the body will produce less sweat and thus help treat hyperhidrosis.
