Botulinum Toxins (commonly known as “Botox”, but there are other brand names, so I will refer to them here as BTs) are injectable medicines that we use to temporarily relax the facial muscles that cause wrinkles.
At Aponi Aesthetics, we love Xeomin, Dysport and Botox!
Why?
Because they make you look younger in a subtle way that won’t have people wondering if you’ve “had work done”.
Done correctly, BTs take away your wrinkles without making you look frozen. Many patients who ask us about these wrinkle modifiers are afraid that they will look like Hollywood starlets who can’t move their faces. This is not necessary (unless you specifically want that look).
These medicines can make you look completely natural AND younger at the same time. Your friends and family might not even know you’ve been treated; they will just comment on how great you look!
BTs are only used on wrinkles that are caused by muscle movement (Dynamic wrinkles). The most common areas for these injections are:
- the frown lines between the eyebrows – also known as the “elevens”
- forehead wrinkles
- crow’s feet wrinkles around the eyes
- other (non-FDA-approved) areas.
That’s a subject I will discuss on another blog.
Frown lines can make you look mad, even if you’re not. People respond to your face unconsciously; don’t you want them to see the best possible you?
People spend hundreds of dollars a year on make-up, which we have to apply and remove daily. Botulinum toxins are with you every day for 3-4 months (and last even longer if you get them regularly), so they are a cost effective way of making you look better with no effort beyond initial treatment (which is quick and almost painless).
Unlike all the supposed “miracle” creams and lotions on the market, BTs actually WORK, and have been studied and FDA approved.
I use the smallest needles available to minimize pain with injections, and we can administer topical anesthetic if desired, though it is rarely necessary.
Plus: we offer the lowest possible prices on these products. We want everyone to have access to this cosmetic miracle, because we LOVE it, and we know you will too.
What is the difference between Botox, Xeomin and Dysport?
Medically speaking, there isn’t one. Xeomin is slightly less expensive for patients, and works in the same way as Botox and Dysport.
We are members of Allergan’s Brilliant Distinctions Program, which provides rebates on Botox treatments if you join on-line.
