Neuromodulators
Neuromodulators are wrinkle-relaxing injections of botulinum toxin - commercially known as Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin
Botox
Botox (Onabotulinum A) is the first FDA approved treatment for expressional lines that appear when muscles contract. Most commonly injected areas are the frown lines (between eyebrows), forehead wrinkles, and crows feet. The repeated muscle movement from frowning, brow raising, and squinting over the years is what creates these wrinkles, neuromodulators such as Botox temporarily reduces muscle activity to prevent deepening of those lines. Although these are the most commonly injected areas, Botox has many more uses on the face and body.

Botox FAQs
Wrinkles result from a combination of many factors including cellular changes that can occur over time, reduction of collagen, and damage caused by free radicals in the sun and the environment. When you frown or concentrate, the muscles between your brows contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold and when you squint, the muscles around your eyes contract and cause crow’s feet. BOTOX® Cosmetic works beneath the skin’s surface and targets the underlying muscle activity that causes frown lines and crow’s feet.There are many non-cosmetic disorders that can be treated with botox, including migraines and excessive sweating. It can treat disorders of the esophagus, the bladder, and almost all skeletal muscles of the head, neck, torso, back, and extremities.
A Botox consultation and procedure take about ten minutes to complete.
You may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours for moderate to severe frown lines, with results lasting up to 4 months. Most patients see results on post-procedure day three and full results 2 weeks after treatment. Treatment requires minimal downtime or recovery; you’ll be able to go about your normal routine immediately after you leave SDBotox.The longer a patient has been receiving Botox injections, the less Botox they require. This is because the treated muscles decrease in size from inactivity and small muscles require less Botox than large muscles. First-time Botox patients typically see results that last between three-to-four months.
| Application Area | Women | Men |
| Frontalis (forehead wrinkles) | 8-12 units | 10-13 units |
| The Corrugator Supercilii (frown lines) | 18-22 units | 16-20 units |
| The Orbicularis Oculi (crows feet) | 20-30 units | 18-24 units |
You may begin to notice results within the 1st week, but allow 2 weeks for final results.
The medication is dose dependent, for individuals who prefer a more natural appearance expect 2-3 months, while those who prefer a more frozen look can expect 3-4 months.
Minimal. There is always potential for bruising with injectables, however this is often minimal if it occurs. You may resume your normal activities after, with the exception of heavy exercising for 24 hours.
No. You will look like you, but with less noticeable wrinkles
Botox is FDA approved for ages 18 and up. However, it is not your age that determines when Botox is right for you, but the severity of your lines and how much it impacts you.
Dysport
Dysport (Abobotulinumtoxin A) is another neuromodulator that works similarly to Botox. Ever since obtaining FDA approval in 2009, Dysport is often used for smoothing frown lines in between the eyebrows. However, you may utilize it in the same areas of the face and body just as you would with Botox (see above for treatment areas).

Dysport FAQs
One benefit of Dysport is an earlier onset of action, you may start to notice effects between 1-7 days. However, still allow 2 weeks for final results. Both products should have the same average duration.
Both products are medications under different brand names, and while both products may work equally as well, it is through trial that each individual will find their preferred product.
Yes. There is no harm alternating between brands.
Xeomin
Xeomin (Incobotulinumtoxin A) is another botulinum toxin type A that is similar to Botox and Dysport. Unlike other neuromodulators, Xeomin is manufactured through a unique purification process that isolates the botulinum toxin molecule from extra surrounding proteins. Because of its purity, it has the advantage of lessening the chance of developing resistance to treatment, as well as the potential to work faster.

Xeomin FAQs
Due to its lightweight molecule from the filtration process, people have the misconception that it does not work as well as Botox or Dysport due to the lightness of its effects.
Yes. Xeomin is FDA approved in 2011 for the use of frown lines.
As early as 3-4 days, with the final result in 2 weeks. Typical duration of effect was up to 3 months in clinical trials, but may vary in individuals.
Yes.
Daxxify
Daxxify (Daxibotulinumtoxin A) is the first and only peptide powered botulinum toxin with results lasting a median of 6 months. This neuromodulator is made in the USA by using a unique peptide exchange technology that stabilizes the active toxin without any human or animal by-product. Daxxify is proven to be highly effective without compromising safety. It is currently approved for treatments of frown lines in between the eyebrows, however, other off label uses are also commonly being performed with Daxxify such as the treatment of forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet.
