What Are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are FDA-approved purified derivatives of botulinum toxin, produced naturally by a bacterium. Botox and Dysport are the brands of neuromodulator that we use at Lumera. These substances are referred to as neuromodulators because they interfere with the neurotransmitters at the neuromuscular junction.
Simply put, these drugs temporarily relax the musculature surrounding the injection site by blocking the nerve signal. This has the effect of reducing fine lines and wrinkles, creating a smoother, more youthful look. You do not have to wait until you have wrinkles to start using these products, in fact, starting them before you have wrinkles can stop them from forming as you get older.
Neuromodulators can also be used to treat conditions such as migraines. TMJ disorders, and excessive sweating.

How is urinary incontinence diagnosed?
The condition is diagnosed mainly on the pattern of symptoms.

The provider will also ask questions about your general health, your history of incontinence, past surgeries, illnesses and any medication you're taking. A physical examination, including a pelvic exam, will be done, and a urine sample will be tested.
Sometimes other, more complicated tests may be needed to establish or confirm the diagnosis or to guide treatment.
How does incontinence relate to age?
Incontinence should not be considered to be a normal condition of aging. Elderly patients should be evaluated in essentially the same way that patients of any age should be evaluated.
