Botox/Xeomin/Dysport

Botox^® is an excellent way to erase lines and wrinkles when applied to the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. It works by relaxing the muscles allowing the overlying skin to smoothen, thus diminishing wrinkles. This quick, no downtime procedure is safe, reliable, and predictable, making it one of the most widely performed cosmetic procedures. Other areas in which Botox^® can be used include around the mouth for smoker’s lines, and on the neck for certain wrinkles.

Xeomin^® is the latest neurotoxin to be approved for cosmetic use.  It is very similar to Botox^®, except that it does not have some extra protein along with the toxin.  This lack of protein may lead to less resistance for its users.  Dysport^® is another relatively recently approved competitor to Botox^®.  Both Xeomin^® and Dysport^® have been available in Europe for years, and enjoy a similar safety and efficacy profile as Botox^®. Each of these products are offered at the Cosmetic Dermatology Center.
