What is BOTOX® / XEOMIN® BOTOX® and XEOMIN® target one of the underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet – the repeated muscle contractions from frowning and squinting over the years. Your specialist will inject these muscles with BOTOX® or XEOMIN® to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice visible smoothing of your crow’s feet lines and frown lines between your brows. Call us today to learn more about how BOTOX® or XEOMIN® can give you a refreshed, youthful look. What is a Neuromodulator? A neuromodulator is an injectable drug that relaxes and softens the skin by restricting the contraction of facial muscles. The effects can be reduced or erased wrinkles, decreased oil production, and facial contouring that can provide a younger, refreshed appearance. BOTOX®, one of the most popular cosmetic neuromodulators, acts as a muscle relaxant. This procedure involves injections of small doses of a neurotoxin solution. What Should I Expect? Dr. Simi will discuss your treatment goals and perform a facial analysis to determine the appropriate treatment areas for you. Once that has been determined and she has completed the Botox treatments, you may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours for moderate to severe frown lines, with results lasting up to 4 months. BOTOX® and XEOMIN® are technique-sensitive treatments. You should not lose the ability to show expression when you are treated by someone who is a licensed, trained, medical doctor.
