Neurotoxin

  • Neuromodulators (otherwise known as neurotoxins) include Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau. Neuromodulators consists of miniscule amounts of a substance called Botulism Toxin A. This substance causes muscles to relax. When neuromodulators are used consistently; you will notice a reduction in wrinkles and fine lines at the muscle area which has been injected in the face or neck.

  • No. Neurotoxin results often take 2-10 days and sometimes up to 14 days to “kick in”.

  • Typically, any neuromodulator or neurotoxin will last between 3-4 months. Therefore; results are not permanent.

  • A well-educated, trained and certified aesthetic injector will assess your areas of concern and will determine the right amount of “units” to utilize to give you a “fresh” appearance and avoid an unwanted or desired result.

  • After your certified aesthetic injector has evaluated your facial muscles; they will be able to determine the correct amount of units for each area and for your desired results. Keep in mind that the number of units and treatment results will vary with each individual. See the “typical” number of units below:

    Glabella area (between the brows/11’s): 12-20 units for Botox, Xeomin or Jeuveau and 30-50 for Dysport.

    Forehead: 8-20 units (B, X, J) and 20-30 units for Dysport

  • To keep it simple: the manufacturer uses a different calculation method. Example: 1 unit of Botox is the same as 2.5 units of Dysport. Think of it this way: 1 in = 2.5 cm. They are the same measurement They just use different numbers.

Dermal Filler

  • Dermal fillers are a natural way to fill depleted facial features or wrinkles and stimulate collagen.

    Dermal fillers plump and lift the skin gently to treat volume loss caused by your body’s natural aging process or to plump wrinkles, lines, and scars. Certain dermal fillers can even stimulate your body’s natural collagen production process to replace lost collagen over time for longer-lasting results. Most of today’s dermal fillers are 100% natural.

  • Fillers add volume to the facial tissue through its active ingredient, hyaluronic acid. Hyaluronic acid is a natural substance found in the human body. As facial tissues thin out, lines become etched around the nose and mouth and cheeks look a little hollow. Dermal fillers can replace lost volume to help smooth wrinkles, plump the lips, and restore a more youthful appearance.
