The dynamic wrinkles targeted by BOTOX, Dysport, Xeomin and Daxxify are caused by a lifetime of smiling, frowning, squinting, and a range of other facial expressions that occur daily. Facial muscles contract each time you change expression, and over time the skin develops lines and wrinkles. Neurotoxins temporarily weaken those muscles to prevent the lines from being reinforced.
Many of these muscles are around the eyes and in the forehead. Our injectors target the muscles with precision to ensure the injections produce results that look natural. BOTOX, Dysport, Xeomin and Daxxify are ideal for the glabellar area, crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes and horizontal wrinkles along the forehead.
BOTOX, Dysport, Xeomin and Daxxify are injectable neuromodulators that work by preventing specific muscles from contracting. We use it conservatively, so patients avoid looking unnatural or “frozen.” Dermal fillers, such as JUVÉDERM® and Restylane®, are injectable gels that restore volume to smooth wrinkles and create a “lifted” appearance. Most fillers contain hyaluronic acid, a sugar that occurs naturally in the body and binds with water to hydrate the skin.

It takes about 5 to 7 days to first notice results after getting BOTOX injections, although patient responses vary. The changes in your appearance gradually continue, and the peak outcome typically occurs about 2 weeks after the treatment. BOTOX, Dysport, Xeomin and Daxxify results are temporary, with the effects lasting about 4 months. We encourage patients to come in for periodic treatments to maintain the results for a longer period of time.
You can return to work or normal social activities immediately following the treatment. We recommend your keep your head elevated for at least 4 hours after your treatment and avoid rubbing or touching the treatment area. This allows the product to disperse properly for more consistent results. Rarely, slight bruising or swelling may appear at the injection site. Using a cold compress can reduce this effect.
