BotoxIn Palo Alto

Botox, Dysport and Xeomin are neurotoxins strategically injected into the face to relax the muscle and minimize the appearance of wrinkles. They greatly improve the look of moderate to severe lines between the eyebrows and crow’s feet by reducing the muscle activity that causes wrinkles to form.

The non-surgical administration of Botox, Dysport and Xeomin injections takes about 10-15 minutes. A very fine needle is inserted into the muscles of the targeted areas, quickly injecting small portions of the neurotoxin liquid. Some clients report mild, temporary discomfort from the treatments.

While you may experience a pinching sensation upon each injection, discomfort is minimal and short lived. Most clients find neuromodulator injections to be very tolerable. There is no downtime, so you can return to your regularly scheduled activities immediately after your treatment.

You can expect to see a smoother, more youthful appearance after the injections. Following treatment, results are visible within 3–5 days. However, it can take up to 2 weeks to see full results. Dysport, Xeomin and Botox are long-lasting with results for 3-5 months.

Side effects from botulinum toxin injections are typically very minor and resolve within minutes or days. The most common side effects are mild redness, tenderness, or swelling around the injection sites. Rarely, some clients report a mild headache after treatment. You can reduce any discomfort with over-the-counter pain medications.

Immediately following your treatment, there are a few measures you can take to ensure that you get the most out of your Dysport, Xeomin, or Botox injections. For the first four hours after treatment, you should not lie down to prevent the solution from migrating away from the target area. For the same reason, and to reduce the risk of infection, it is essential that you avoid rubbing the treated area for a minimum of 12 hours. Strenuous exercise should be avoided for 24 hours after treatment.

Generally, the only long-term effects that clients experience with botulinum toxin injections are the weakening of muscles and the absence of wrinkles in treated areas. However, it is possible for some people to develop botulinum toxin resistance.

In these instances, the body develops antibodies to combat botulinum toxins over time, making treatment less effective. While this rarely happens, there are strategies for overcoming botulinum toxin resistance so that all clients can maintain the efficacy of their neuromodulation treatment.

Depending on each client’s specific needs, potential courses of action include increased dosage, more frequent injections, or changing products. However, there is some evidence to suggest that increasing the volume of product or number of treatments may contribute to resistance development. Therefore, changing products is often the most appropriate course of action for clients who develop antibodies.
