BOTOX
FDA Indication: Treatment of facial lines such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and glabellar lines (frown lines between the brows).
Description: Botox temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Benefits: Smooths out wrinkles and prevents further deepening of expression lines. Frequency: Results last 3-4 months; treatments should be repeated 3-4 times a year.
DYSPORT
FDA Indication: Treatment of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines).
Description: Dysport is similar to Botox but tends to spread more, making it ideal for larger treatment areas.
Benefits: Reduces the appearance of wrinkles with a more natural movement. Frequency: Lasts around 3-4 months; treatments should be repeated quarterly.
XEOMIN
FDA Indication: Moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Description: Xeomin is a purified form of botulinum toxin, free of complexing proteins, making it less likely to cause resistance over time.
Benefits: Smooths frown lines and offers a natural appearance.
Frequency: Lasts 3-4 months; treatments should be repeated every 3-4 months.
