Wrinkle Relaxers/Neurotoxins for Forehead, Frown Lines, Crow’s Feet and More
Brands: Dysport®, Botox®, Xeomin®, Jeuveau®
Botox is a brand name for one brand of botulinum toxin which works to relax wrinkles in the face by relaxing hyperactive muscles underneath. We use the word Botox in a similar fashion as we use the word “Kleenex”…it can represent a whole category of products! There are more brands of botulinum toxin available and these include Xeomin, Jeuveau, and Dysport. This treatment is commonly done to reduce lines between the brows, on the forehead, and the “crow’s feet” area to give a more youthful look. Our goal is to give a happier refreshed look without looking frozen or “done.”
After treatment with Botox, Xeomin, Jeuveau, or Dysport there is generally no downtime. Occasional mild bruising may occur after the procedure. Patients are asked to avoid strenuous exercise, lying down, or applying makeup for four hours following treatment. It is also recommended to avoid massaging or compression of the treated site for twenty-four hours. It may take up to 2 weeks before the full effect of the Botulinum toxin treatment is present. We usually schedule a follow up in 2 weeks to address any areas that need further treatment.
