‍

what is it?

Xeomin^®, Botox^®, and Dysport^® are all injectable neuromodulators, meaning they temporarily alter the nerve impulses of targeted muscles, thereby reducing or eliminating contraction-induced wrinkles. All three injectables have a slightly different formulation of bacterium Clostridium Botulinum or Botulinum Toxin A, but they all block the nerve impulses of the injected muscles to temporarily paralyze movements that cause wrinkles. The most common targets are horizontal lines across the forehead and perpendicular frown lines between the brows (known as “The elevens”). Many also rely on these treatments for crow’s feet, nasal squint lines, lines around the neck, underarm sweating, and migraines.

botox vs xeomin vs dysport

All three neuromodulators are very similar, though each may cause a slightly different reaction. Dysport^®is known to be more diffusive with a more even distribution, which is ideal for correcting crow’s feet. For a small wrinkle correction Dr. Mohan and her staff prefer using Botox^®. While Botox^®, Xeomin^®, and Dysport^® can be used interchangeably, Dr. Mohan will discuss with you her recommendation and reasons for choosing one over the other. When administered properly, these treatments’ effects are confined to the injection zone and do not affect the surrounding areas or travel around the body, as commonly feared. These treatments also prevent the formation of deeper lines in the future by reducing contraction-induced wrinkles. This is the main reason why younger people are getting such treatments: Used as a preventative measure, they are an effective anti-aging strategy.

botox lip flips

Botox^® can be a good choice if you are looking for lip enhancement options! A lip flip is where we can inject Botox^® into your upper lip, this causes your lip to look fuller or even have a “pouty” look. This can be achieved without adding fillers into the lips.

botox for jaw pain/TMJ

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorder refers to a condition that affects the jaw joint and surrounding muscles. It can cause symptoms such as jaw pain, difficulty in opening or closing the mouth, clicking or popping sounds in the jaw, headaches, and facial discomfort. TMJ disorders can be caused by various factors including jaw misalignment, teeth grinding, stress, arthritis, or injury, and treatment may involve a combination of self-care practices, medications, dental interventions, and in some cases, surgery.

botox for hyperhidrosis

Botox injections can be a beneficial treatment option for individuals with hyperhidrosis, a condition characterized by excessive sweating. Botox helps alleviate excessive sweating by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands, reducing perspiration in the treated areas. This can significantly improve the quality of life for those affected by hyperhidrosis, minimizing discomfort, embarrassment, and the need for constant management of excessive sweating.

‍

what are the benefits of botox, xeomin and dysport?

You should notice smoother, more wrinkle-free skin within 2-3 days after the injection, but the full effects won’t appear for about two weeks. It may take as long as a month for results to peak on areas with stronger muscles, particularly in men. When full effects have been achieved, your skin will feel smoothed and lifted, with a more youthful and awakened appearance. These results tend to last 4-6 months, at which point the muscle movement gradually returns and the wrinkles and lines start to reappear, but often less severe than before because the muscle has been trained to relax more.

procedure technique

BOTOX treatments are performed as an outpatient procedure conveniently at Rosewood Medical Spa. If it is your first time to visit us in Midland for BOTOX, we may perform the injection on the same appointment as your consultation. You will be asked to make various facial expressions with the upper face, like squinting, frowning, etc., which will allow us to mark where the injections are to be placed. The skin will be cleansed and BOTOX will be applied with a fine needle, followed by gentle compressions to help decrease discomfort, swelling, and bruising. Please request an ice pack or numbing cream to make the procedure more comfortable, but it generally is unnecessary. BOTOX treatments typically take about 10 – 15 minutes, then you are able resume to your normal routine almost right away.

What to expect

After the procedure, you may get back to your typical routine, but strenuous activity should be skipped for at least one day. You will be asked to sleep with your head elevated for the first night and to not touch your face, which may accidentally spread the treatment to other areas. The treated areas of the face may appear bruised, red, or swollen for 2 – 3 days after the procedure, but you will not develop any severe or lasting side effects from injectable treatments. In many cases, it takes about two weeks before the full effects of BOTOX can be seen. The results usually last 3 – 4 months. You should speak to your injector about how often to schedule your next appointment at Rosewood Medical Spa to extend your results.
