Botox & Injectables
Women and men (you’ve heard of Brotox) in North County San Diego are smart, athletic, and know the tried and true benefits of wrinkle relaxers. Botox kicked off the revolution back in 2002, and we’ve never raised an eyebrow. The quickest way to treat moderate to severe frown lines, forehead lines, crow’s feet, and smile lines is to use a Botulinum Toxin A derivative. Results are noticeable in as little as 24 hours.
What Is The Difference Between Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, & Xeomin?
Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin are all neurotoxins derived from the Botulinum Toxin A used to correct aging skin effects. What makes all of these injectables a little different is their formulas. Each presents its own concentrations of active ingredients. Only Xeomin is referred to as ultra-pure because their procedure removes any unnecessary proteins. Currently, there are no studies showing that extraneous proteins can cause any benefits or harm to patients. All four wrinkle relaxers are FDA-approved to treat frown lines between the eyebrows, but only Botox is FDA-approved to treat frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. There are many “Off Label” uses for these neuromodulators. “Off Label” refers to other treatment areas that currently don’t have FDA approval. That doesn’t mean these treatments are unsafe, but rather, they haven’t completed the FDA approval process yet. Over time, some people will develop a tolerance to one injectable but may respond better to another. Call our office to schedule a free consultation to discuss the best choice for your skin type and muscle movement.

Botox is the first FDA-approved treatment to temporarily reduce moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. One quick 10-minute procedure will have you looking refreshed in as little as 24 to 48 hours. Results typically last four months and possibly longer for some individuals.
If you’re 65 or younger and looking to soften frown lines, then Dysport was engineered for you— adults who want a natural appearance. Dysport Injections are proven to help smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows without altering your face’s natural movement or expression.
As we age, we all get some wrinkles, but now you can do something about it. Jeuveau, often referred to as “The Modern-Tox,” is injected into facial muscles to temporarily alleviate mild to severe frown lines between the eyebrows in adult men and women.
Xeomin is an ultra-purified neurotoxin prescribed to improve moderate to severe glabellar lines between the eyebrows. During the manufacturing process, the therapeutic component of incobotulinumtoxinA is isolated, and additional accessory proteins are discarded, leaving behind an exceptionally pure medication.
