What is Botox®?

Botox, and other cosmetics like it, are used to ease the muscle activity that causes wrinkles and lines when you make expressions. You achieve a naturally softer, younger look without appearing like you’ve had a lot of work done. 

Botox and other neuromodulators have a neurotoxin as their key ingredient. This neurotoxin temporarily halts muscle activity, so the lines and wrinkles that form when you squint or smile disappear. You achieve a smoother, more youthful look. 

The providers at Xthetics Med Spa offer Botox as well as other FDA-approved neuromodulators, including:

• Dysport®
• Xeomin®
• Jeuveau®

Each formula has slightly different properties to provide subtly different results. Your provider offers the one that’s most appropriate for your skin type, goals, and complaints. 

What aging complaints does Botox address?

Neuromodulators effectively:

• Smooth horizontal forehead lines
• Reduce the appearance of crow’s feet around the eyes
• Smooth vertical lines between the eyes, known as frown lines

Your provider may also use them to erase bunny line wrinkles on the sides of your nose, smooth vertical neck cords, and correct a cobblestone appearance on the chin. 

How effective is Botox?

Millions of people use Botox and other neuromodulators to boost their appearance effectively. All the products are FDA-approved, and studies show they are safe for cosmetic applications. 

You may choose to combine Botox or other neuromodulators with dermal filler treatments to get a comprehensive improvement to your look.

When will I notice the results of Botox, and how long does it last?

The results of each of the neuromodulators show up within 24-48 hours. All provide their full effects after 7-10 days. The effects of treatments last three to four months, depending on the depth of your wrinkles and how your body responds. 

The team at Xthetics Med Spa works with you to set up a schedule so you can get regular retreatments to maintain your look. 

Do I need to schedule downtime after Botox treatments?

Your appointment for Botox or other neuromodulators lasts about 15-20 minutes. You don’t have to schedule downtime after your appointment and can go right back to work or other daily activities. Side effects aren’t common, but some people experience slight bruising or redness at the injection sites. These fade in a day or two and can be covered with makeup.
