Botox, Dysport and Xeomin are injectables that fall into the neurotoxin family. Neurotoxins are injected into areas of the skin in order to temporarily paralyze the nerves controlling muscles used to make the expressions that, over time, lead to wrinkles. There are numerous areas of the face that can benefit from Botox, Dysport and Xeomin, such as the glabellar lines, marionette lines, upper lip lines, and laugh lines, all of which can deepen over time. These lines may not be noticeable in your twenties, but in your late thirties and forties, these lines start to become permanently etched into your skin. The best way to address them is to inject small amount of Botox, Dysport or Xeomin into the muscles, which temporarily allows the muscles to “forget” how to make that particular motion. This is how the lines begin to smooth.

A thin needle is used to inject tiny amounts into your skin. Depending on the area being treated, the effect of botox can last between three to twelve months. The most common side effects are minor pain, swelling, or bruising at the injection site which typically subsides within a day or two.
