Botox, NewTox, Dysport & Xeomin

Botox, Dysport and Xeomin are aesthetic neuromodulators that relax away wrinkles and deep creases to rejuvenate your face. Neuromodulators are pharmaceutical compounds that soften the muscular contractions in your face. In this way, these injectables can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming.

Injectable Neuromodulators Can Soften Signs of Aging 

Dynamic wrinkles are wrinkles that form when we smile, frown or get angry. These wrinkles include brow furrows, crow’s feet and laugh lines. After repetition of these facial movements, deep lines and wrinkles will form and become visibly apparent, even when not making the corresponding facial expression.^[1] Sometimes, these wrinkles may be a result of an overused facial muscle which refuses to relax, holding the crease in place. These dynamic wrinkles may be addressed with Botox, Dysport or Xeomin. 

Neuromodulator injections reduce the visibility of dynamic wrinkles and return a relaxed, youthful expression to your face. Neuromodulators are derived from the botulinum molecule and administered in small doses directly into facial muscles. They successfully smooth wrinkles by relaxing the muscle responsible for the formation of the wrinkle.

Benefits

Once these neuromodulators are strategically injected by our experienced medical team, the botulinum molecule temporarily blocks chemical signals from reaching nerves.^[2] This process relaxes the underlying muscle activity that can cause visible lines and creases. The result is a smoother, younger-looking appearance that can last anywhere from three to six months. 

Botox, Dysport and Xeomin have been extensively tested for safety and efficacy, and the majority of men and women who are treated with these injectables experience no complications or adverse effects. Injection sites may develop slight bruising, swelling, itching or redness, but these symptoms should only last for a day or so.

Botox

Botox Cosmetic is FDA-approved and is very effective on severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines.

Newtox

NewTox is the newest neuromodulator to freshen your face. It works by temporarily reducing sharp muscle contractions in the forehead to create a smooth, serene look. NewTox is an impressive treatment for wrinkles and lines.

Dysport

This injectable is highly successful when administered between the eyebrows. Dysport can improve glabellar lines, frown lines, forehead wrinkles, bunny lines and crow’s feet.

Xeomin

Xeomin is a temporary solution to improve moderate to severe frown lines found between the eyebrows. Xeomin is injected into muscles around the eyebrows where it smooths out the wrinkles and lines.

Ideal Candidates

Botox, Dysport and Xeomin injections are available for both men and women ranging from age thirty to sixty.

Preparation & Procedure

These popular procedures are fast. They only take about ten to fifteen minutes.^[3] The treatment is non-surgical and has minimal downtime, allowing patients to receive these treatments over a lunch break, if they like. 

When the patient arrives for their treatment, the predetermined injection sites will be cleaned. Dr. Saini will then gently apply the injections into the scientifically pinpointed areas to create positive, natural-looking results. After the injections are administered, you will then be able to return to your regular schedule.

Recovery & Results

Botox, Dysport and Xeomin injections are great solutions to many aging problems. You’re going to love your amazing results!

Results will be noticeable within twenty-four to forty-eight hours.^[4] While results will depend on the patient’s unique body chemistry, Botox and Xeomin achieve attractive rejuvenation that will last for three to six months. The results of Dysport are visible for about three months.

Depending on your skin, multiple treatment sessions may be necessary. While these neuromodulators cannot stop the effects of aging, Dr. Saini can create a long-term plan to help you retain your smoother, younger-looking skin. Neuromodulator injections have even shown to successfully reduce the formation of new wrinkles in treatment sites.

There is very little to no downtime required for injections. They are fast, simple and non-surgical. A recovery period is typically unnecessary and people are able to return to work immediately after their treatment.

Complementary Procedures: Dermal Fillers

Dermal Fillers are a common complement to neuromodulator injections. Dermal fillers are injections used to return lost volume to the soft tissues of the face. Fillers are made of a gel-like substance that softens the features of an aging face.

Dermal fillers add volume and reduce wrinkles at the lips, cheeks, midface and chin. They are an excellent alternative to invasive surgical procedures. Dermal fillers require no recovery time.

Radiesse

This filler can be used to improve the volume of the cheeks and contour the face. Made with calcium hydroxylapatite, a component found in human bones, Radiesse reduces the appearance of deep smile lines, marionette lines and frown lines. Radiesse adds volume to the cheeks and contours the face.

The Juvederm Collection

These fillers are made with hyaluronic acid. This acid is naturally-occurring in the body where it promotes hydration of the skin. Hyaluronic acid is absorbed and naturally processed by the body. These injections can be used to reduce depressions, scars, lines or wrinkles. Juvederm achieves smooth, natural-looking rejuvenation of parentheses lines and nasolabial folds. Juvederm products may also add attractive fullness and plump contour to your luscious lips. 

Belotero

This dermal filler is designed to smooth out and fill in severe nasolabial folds. Also known as “marionette lines,” nasolabial folds run from the side of the nose to the corner of the mouth, right along your smile line.

Kybella

In addition to dermal fillers, our patients can also sculpt their chin and jawline with Kybella. If the skin under your chin has become noticeably loose or gives the impression of a double chin, Kybella is the perfect solution. Kybella has an active ingredient called synthetic deoxycholic acid. This acid naturally occurs in the body and aids in the breakdown and absorption of fat. When Kybella is injected into the fat deposits that have formed beneath the chin, it works to eliminate the fat cells.
