BOTOX® and Neuromodulators

Neuromodulators are a popular cosmetic injectable treatment to fight lines and wrinkles. Known by brand names such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, JEUVEAU® and Daxxify®, these treatments can help you look younger without affecting the natural look of your expressions. Neuromodulators are quick, simple treatments that are safe and highly effective in softening dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines and crow’s feet. Dr. Eric Mariotti and his Nurse injectors administer all neuromodulator injections.BOTOX® Cosmetic & Dysport® img 1

Looking for a top BOTOX clinic in Concord near you? BOTOX, Dysport, JEUVEAU and Daxxify injections are best performed by experienced and skilled injectors. We have two nurse injectors and a physician assistant trained in injectable treatments. They know how to use the latest injection techniques that produce quite gratifying results for patients. Our team emphasizes individualized treatment tailored to each patient’s specific needs, rather than using a standardized approach. While this technique requires more attention, time and skill on the part of the injector, it ensures that each patient receives the best results possible with the fewest risks or complications.

Why BOTOX Cosmetic
_

BOTOX is a safe, non-surgical treatment used to reduce dynamic wrinkles (wrinkles caused by muscle contraction) such as:

  • Frown lines
  • Forehead lines
  • Crow’s feet

We have also used BOTOX injections for elimination of underarm and palm sweating. This treatment has been quite helpful for those individuals who are embarrassed shaking hands or raising their arms because of excess sweating. BOTOX can even be used sparingly under the outside edge of the eyebrow to give it a nice, non-surgical elevation. We are happy to provide a BOTOX cost estimate for the type of treatment you are considering.

Why Dysport
_

Dysport and BOTOX Cosmetic are both used to treat and prevent certain kinds of facial wrinkles. While both treatments contain a similar main active ingredient, their overall formulations are different. As a result, one treatment may be more effective than the other for some people.

Dysport can reduce the appearance of lines in the area in between your eyebrows, on your forehead, around your eyes and other areas of the face. These lines are etched into the skin over time due to repeated facial muscle movements. As you age, these lines can become more prominent even when your face is relaxed.

In some cases and for some patients, Dysport may be a more effective wrinkle treatment than BOTOX and vice versa. Our medical spa team has experience with both neuromodulators and can advise you on your best course of action.

Why JEUVEAU
_

JEUVEAU contains a similar main active ingredient to Dysport and BOTOX Cosmetic, but its overall formulation is different. It works to temporarily reduce wrinkles on the forehead and eye area.

This neuromodulator contains Hi-Pure technology, a proprietary formulation that has been studied in over 2,000 patients. Typical results last 3 to 4 months, and in clinical trials, over a third of patients still had visible results after 5 months.

We can guide you on the pros and cons of all the neuromodulator wrinkle treatments we offer and help you select the best one for your wrinkle reduction goals. We offer a wide range of these treatments to give our patients the best possible options.

Why Daxxify
_

BOTOX may be a household name, but if you do your research, you may find that Daxxify is an intriguing choice for your next wrinkle treatment. Why? Daxxify is able to provide longer-lasting wrinkle reduction than BOTOX and similar neuromodulators. BOTOX results typically last about 3 to 4 months. In clinical trials for Daxxify, 80 percent of patients still had no or minimally visible facial wrinkles after 4 months, and almost half of participating patients had little evidence of wrinkles after 6 months.

The secret to Daxxify’s longevity? It contains a unique, peptide-powered formulation that helps to stabilize its active ingredient. Daxxify is the only prescription frown line treatment made in the U.S. – in fact, it’s produced right here in the Bay Area. It is available only at select medical practices committed to the highest standards of patient safety and high-quality results.

We are pleased to offer Daxxify at MSpa and our medical spa team has significant experience with this advanced neuromodulator. We encourage you to ask about it on your next visit!

Results are typically visible in 2 to 3 days but may take up to a week to fully develop. The improvement made lasts approximately 3 to 4 months and occasionally even longer. Dr. Mariotti and his staff have extensive experience and training in working with BOTOX, Dysport and JEUVEAU, so you do not need to worry about looking “frozen.” Your results will look beautiful and natural.

BOTOX/Dysport FAQ

Liquid facelift is a phrase used by some plastic surgeons that describes combining injectable treatments, such as BOTOX and various fillers, to produce the overall facial rejuvenation that’s similar to the benefits of a surgical facelift. MSpa offers a nonsurgical facelift that combines injectables with other nonsurgical treatments. For men and women who would rather forgo facial plastic surgery for whatever reason, the combination of injectables can create a more youthful appearance. Only a surgical facelift, however, can reposition sagging muscle and tissue and provide the kind of long-lasting results many patients want.

All of these injectables work by temporarily immobilizing facial muscles that create “dynamic” wrinkles. These are the wrinkles that emerge because our faces are constantly changing expressions, as opposed to other wrinkles and lines that result from the natural aging process, exposure to the sun and other environmental factors.

Each product uses slightly different formulations of the same active ingredient.

We are seeing more patients in their 20s requesting BOTOX injections to help postpone the onset of wrinkles. The principle at work here is simple: By limiting the movement of the tiny facial muscles that create dynamic wrinkles, we delay their arrival. That said, it is not possible to prevent the development of wrinkles entirely.

It is extremely rare for patients to develop a resistance to the effects of BOTOX or Dysport. In fact, more often the opposite is true: Patients who get injections on a regular basis see the results begin to last longer. Over time, the facial muscles targeted by the injections begin to atrophy and as they become weaker, their ability to produce lines and wrinkles diminishes.

The average cost of BOTOX is around $10 to $15 per unit, and several units are typically required per treatment session. A single unit of Dysport typically costs around $5. However, Dysport generally requires more units than BOTOX to treat the same area, so the total cost of each roughly evens out. 

The total cost of your BOTOX or Dysport treatment will depend on a number of factors, including the size and location of the treatment area. The best way to get an accurate cost estimate for BOTOX or Dysport is to schedule a consultation with us.

Many providers charge around $10 to $15 per unit for Botox and around $5 per unit for Dysport. Dysport generally requires more units than BOTOX to treat the same area, so the total cost of each roughly evens out. However, in some practices, including ours, the cost is based upon “areas.” This may mean a flat fee to get rid of the “11’s” or the crow’s feet or the forehead wrinkles.  This allows us to make sure an area is appropriately treated for the best results, while relieving the patient the need to budget for “units.”  In the end, these two methods of cost end up being about the same.

BOTOX, Dysport and JEUVEAU are commonly used to temporarily treat dynamic facial lines, wrinkles and creases in the forehead area, between the brows and at the corners of the eyes. If the eye-area is your main trouble area, these injectables may be the appropriate solution to help you achieve a smoother and more youthful appearance.

If you are also bothered by the appearance of lines and wrinkles in the mid- or lower-face areas, you might consider injectable fillers.

Most people say that these injections are relatively comfortable, as very small needles are used. Additionally, a topical anesthetic can be used prior to treatment to help make you as comfortable as possible during your procedure. Tenderness or discomfort immediately after getting BOTOX, Dysport or JEUVEAU is typically easy to manage with the use of ice packs or over-the-counter pain medication.

BOTOX, Dysport and JEUVEAU do not require any downtime or recovery period, so you should be able to go right back to work or other daily tasks after your appointment. It is best to avoid vigorous exercise for the first day or so after getting treatment, but your regular routine should not be otherwise affected.

Swelling or bruising may be present for around two weeks after treatment, so we recommend scheduling your appointment at least two weeks before an important event.

Results can last about 6 months before gradually fading away. Thankfully, additional treatments can easily be scheduled to keep you looking refreshed.
