Botox and Paralytics

 

BOTOX

Worry lines, crow’s feet, frown lines and neck bands are no challenge to Botox or Dysport injections. In just a few minutes, these facial paralytics can temporarily weaken facial muscles beneath the wrinkled area to relax the skin and restore its youthful appearance.

The full effects of Botox® takes about 10 days, but you will see see the results gradually kick in throughout the week.

DYSPORT

Dysport is an alternative to Botox and was approved by the FDA in the United States in 2009. The differences between the two paralytics are minor. Prior to its US introduction, Dysport was used throughout Europe since the early 90s, with over 2 million users. The effects of Dysport have been reported to appear faster and last longer than its competition. Feel free to discuss the options with your practitioner to decide which is right for you.

XEOMIN

When you squint or frown, the muscles between your brows contract, causing the skin to furrow and fold. These lines that occur due to facial mimics are referred to as dynamic lines. Over time, as your skin ages and loses some of its elasticity, these repeated contractions can cause persistent frown lines.Botulinum toxin type A – the active ingredient in XEOMIN® – is used in facial aesthetic treatment to treat dynamic lines like glabellar frown lines. It acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting. By reducing these contractions, XEOMIN® can temporarily reduce the frown lines on your forehead between your eyes.
