Botox & Xeomin

Wrinkles are caused by many factors, including cellular changes, decreased collagen, free radical damage, and the repetitive contraction of the muscles under the skin. Botulinum toxins target the action of these muscles by decreasing their ability to contract, thereby smoothing wrinkles and lines.

Botox Cosmetic

Botox Cosmetic is an injectable medication that is used to temporarily improve the appearance of lines and wrinkles. It targets one of the causes of frown lines and crow's feet, the muscles used to frown and squint, and reduces their activity. This results in a visible smoothing of the overlying skin.

Xeomin

Xeomin is similar to Botox in the way it is used; however, it differs slightly as it can remain at room temperature and has no additives in its formula. The lack of extra additives means there is less chance of a person building up antibodies against it, which can diminish the product's effectiveness. After a treatment has been administered a person should see visible results within seven days and the effects will last between three and six months. Xeomin can be effectively used to reduce the appearance of frown lines, crow's feet and forehead wrinkles.  Click here for safety information.
