Neurotoxins (also known as Xeomin, Botox, Jeauvueu, and Dysport) are injectable solutions that are effective for offering temporary blockage to nerve receptors in the muscle. These blockages help to prevent the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. The technology can be used to treat overactive bladder, muscle spasms, muscle stiffness, and excessive sweating.
There are many aesthetic and non-aesthetic benefits to the use of injectable neuromodulators! Some of them are:
Prevents Wrinkles
Helps your skin build collagen
Long-lasting anti-aging results
Prevents migraines & headaches before they start
Botox is the most reputable neurotoxin available in the market today. As the oldest neurotoxin, its use and effectiveness have been confirmed by several studies. Botox contains additive proteins, which protect botulinum molecules from external influences. However, it has been suggested that the protective proteins may render the botox injection less effective since some people may create antibodies against these proteins.
Dysport uses smaller protein molecules to induce muscle relaxation. These smaller proteins are less likely to be broken down by antibodies. Some people have experienced faster results with Dysport, noticing a reduction in only 2-3 days while Botox can take up to a week to appear.
Botox – $12 per unit
Dysport – $4.8 per unit
The effects of all neurotoxins should last 3-4 months, sometimes longer. As we age, the duration tends to be shorter. There is a period of time that the injection takes to wear off and the body to regain the ability to trigger muscle movement. For this reason, it’s important to establish a neurotoxin regimen to maintain optimal results.
Botox: 5-10 days
Dysport: Within 24 hours
Depending on the area being treated, there are multiple injection sites. The eyes usally 3-4 each; the forehead can be 3-9; the area between the eyebrows 5-7.
