Anti-Wrinkle Injectables
Botox® Cosmetic
Dysport®
Xeomin®
What is it?
​
Botox® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and Xeomin® are brands of neuromodulators. They are injected into the skin to temporarily prevent facial wrinkles by relaxing the face muscles. The result is a smoother, more youthful appearance. No downtime is required.
​
How does it work?
​
The injections are placed into the muscles that cause the expressions that result in wrinkles. Neuromodulators block the nerves of the injected muscles and prevent the muscle from releasing a signal to allow for movement. The muscles remain relaxed, resulting in less visible lines and wrinkles made from expressions.
​
What should I expect?
​
Results are seen with Dysport® in 2-3 days while Botox® Cosmetic, and Xeomin® may take up to 7 days to notice results, with full effects seen 2 weeks after treatment. Treatment typically lasts 3 months.
