BOTOX
BOTOX Cosmetic is a wonderful cost-effective Wrinkle Remover. It simple and really works well. Dominique Well ARNP, our cosmetic dermatology specialist has lots of experience and knows how to place BOTOX to create a Natural Refreshed look. She uses the principle less is more to achieve a Natural, Healthy Youthful look.

BOTOX Cosmetic can smooth moderate to severe frown lines, forehead wrinkles and crow’s feet for up to 4 to 6 months. The beauty of a BOTOX Cosmetic treatment is that it's a simple, 10-minute process. A few tiny injections, and within days there is a noticeable improvement in the moderate to severe lines on the face.  You can even do it on your lunch break. There's no recovery time needed. 

We price BOTOX competitively at $13.00/unit.

Dysport
Dysport is another prescription treatment for frown lines; it's similar to Botox. Dysport is a neurotoxin which blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and preventing contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines. Dysport is quick and easy, the treatment generally takes just 10 minutes. The dose of Dysport is not the same as the dose of any other botulinum toxin and units and pricing cannot be compared to any other botulinum toxin product.

Dysport is brought to you by Medicis Pharmaceutical, a company focusing primarily on the treatment of dermatological and aesthetic conditions. Medicis also brings you Restylane®—a popular wrinkle filler used around the world. (see our info on dermal fillers)

Xeomin
Xeomin is the newest “frown fixer” available to patients across the country. Pronounced zee-oh-min, the new botulinum toxin product acts like its predecessors Botox and Dysport in reducing or preventing contractions of the glabellar muscle between the eyes.

How is Xeomin different from Botox or Dysport?
The difference in Xeomin (incobotulinumtoxinA) is that it does not carry the proteins that are typical of the other products. The potential advantage lies in the lessened likelihood of antibodies being formed to the proteins which – for a very limited number of patients – can render the product ineffective. (This typically is only seen in patients who have used botulinum toxin for an extended period of time.)

How is Xeomin similar to Botox or Dysport?
The muscle-restricting action is, for all practical purposes, like Botox and Dysport and the dosing will be the same as Botox. So if you're accustomed to 20 units of Botox, expect to receive 20 units of Xeomin for the same effect and area.

Why would I choose Xeomin over the injectables already available for a longer period of time?
At the introduction of Xeomin, the manufacturer has priced the product a bit lower, so price could be one reason. It’s purported quicker effect could be another. We frequently use both Dysport and Botox in a single session to achieve desired results. We will do the same with Xeomin. As time goes on, which to choose will likely just be patient preference.

How fast does Xeomin work?
Although still very new to the U.S. market, Xeomin is reported to begin taking effect within 2-3 days after injection with effectiveness ranging up to 4 months.

Xeomin is $10/unit
