What Is Botox®? (OnabotulinumtoxinA)

Botox® Cosmetic is an FDA-approved neuromodulator used to temporarily relax facial muscles that cause expression lines and wrinkles. It’s most commonly used to smooth frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet, helping you achieve a refreshed, natural look without changing your facial expressions.

How Botox® Is Dosed

Botox® is measured in units, and the ideal dose varies from person to person based on muscle strength, facial anatomy, and desired results. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your unique movement patterns to create a customized treatment plan that delivers balanced, natural results.

Onset Time (Kicks In)

Typically takes 3 to 5 days to begin seeing a difference, with the full, peak results locking in at 10 to 14 days.

Spread / Diffusion

Botox has a higher molecular weight, meaning it tends to stay exactly where the injector places it. This makes it ideal for highly targeted, precision areas like crow’s feet or precise brow lifts.

Duration

Lasts an average of 3 to 4 months for most patients, depending on their metabolism and muscle strength.

Special Distinction

The Gold Standard. Botox is the pioneer of the industry, backed by the most extensive clinical data and global brand recognition. I

What Is Xeomin®? (IncobotulinumtoxinA)

Xeomin® is an FDA-approved neuromodulator used to temporarily relax facial muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. Similar to Botox® and Dysport®, Xeomin® smooths dynamic wrinkles—such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines—by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle movement. The result is a refreshed, natural look without changing your facial expression.

How Xeomin® Is Dosed

The amount of Xeomin® needed varies from person to person and depends on factors such as muscle strength, facial anatomy, and treatment goals. During your consultation, we’ll assess your unique facial movement patterns and create a personalized dosing plan to ensure balanced, natural-looking results.

Xeomin® is measured in units, and each treatment area typically requires a specific range of units—for example, the forehead, glabella (frown lines), or crow’s feet. Because dosing is customized, your treatment will always be tailored to your needs rather than a one-size-fits-all approach.

Onset Time (Kicks In)

Typically takes 3 to 7 days to begin showing effects, with full, final results visible at 10 to 14 days.

Spread / Diffusion

Similar to Botox, Xeomin features a more localized spread, allowing for highly targeted precision and predictable placement in treated muscle areas.

Duration

Lasts an average of 3 to 4 months for most patients, consistent with other traditional neuromodulators.

Special Distinction

The "Naked" Toxin. Xeomin is uniquely manufactured through a high-precision process that removes unnecessary "accessory proteins," leaving only the active ingredient. This purified formula means patients are less likely to develop antibodies or a "toxin resistance" over time, making it an excellent long-term option.

Why Patients Love Xeomin®

Pure, clean formula

Soft, natural results

Because it is completely purified, your body is much less likely to develop antibodies against it over time. If you feel like other brands have stopped working as well as they used to, Xeomin is your perfect reset button.

What Is Dysport®? (AbobotulinumtoxinA)

Dysport® is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator designed to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements—most commonly frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. It works by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles, softening expression lines while maintaining a natural look and movement.

How Dysport® Is Dosed

Dysport® is measured in units, and the amount needed varies depending on your facial anatomy, muscle strength, and individual treatment goals. Because Dysport® has a slightly different formulation and diffusion pattern compared to Botox® or Xeomin®, it can spread more easily, making it ideal for treating larger areas or for clients who want soft, blended results.

During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your facial expressions and create a customized dosing plan to achieve balanced, natural-looking outcomes. Typical results appear within 2–3 days and last about 3–4 months, depending on your metabolism and muscle activity.

Onset Time (Kicks In)

Fast-acting. Patients typically begin seeing results in 1 to 3 days, with full effects settling in by day 10 to 14.

Spread / Diffusion

Dysport has a smaller molecular weight, allowing it to diffuse or "spread" slightly more than Botox. This makes it exceptionally smooth and highly effective for treating larger areas, such as the forehead or broad frown lines.

Duration

Lasts an average of 3 to 4 months, though some patients report experiencing a slightly longer-lasting smoothing effect compared to other standard toxins.

Special Distinction

The "Quick-Acting" Favorite. Known for its rapid onset and natural-looking, soft finish. Because of its unique formulation, the dosing unit ratio is different than Botox (typically a 2.5 or 3:1 unit ratio), which your injector will precisely calculate during treatment.

Why Patients Love Dysport®

Fast onset of results (often within a few days)

Smooth, natural finish that doesn’t look “frozen”

Effective for both first-time clients and long-term maintenance treatments.
