The Botox class of medications, known as neuromodulators, work by blocking the nerve signals needed for facial muscles to contract. Once injected, these neuromodulators cause relaxation of the targeted muscles causing a marked decrease in the ability to move these muscles. This leads to softening or temporary elimination of the appearance of dynamic wrinkles in the areas treated. Results will gradually become apparent over 3-14 days following injection.
Results from the Botox class of medications typically last between 2-5 months from the date of injection. Results will begin to diminish over time as the body metabolizes the product. To maintain the results, it is recommended that patients undergo periodic maintenance treatments every 3-4 months.
Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and Jeuveau can be used to treat many areas. The most common areas treated include the “crow’s feet” around the eyes, horizontal lines on the forehead, and wrinkles between the eyebrows, commonly known as the elevens.
Botox is injected using a tiny, ultra-fine needle. Topical anesthesia is not typically needed for Botox injections. Most patients report minimal discomfort or no discomfort at all.

Botox Cosmetic / Dysport / Xeomin
There are now 4 Botox-class products approved for use in the USA; Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau. All are very similar in the way they work. These neuromodulators provide a highly effective, safe, non-surgical treatment that can dramatically reduce the appearance of the toughest wrinkles. Results are typically seen between three to fourteen days after injection and can last up to four months. There is typically no downtime. With regularly scheduled treatments results may last longer, especially if treatments are done before the muscles are allowed to return to full strength.
Treatments are highly effective and patient satisfaction is typically high. Dr. Croland offers Botox treatments at one of our 2 locations in Charlotte and Matthews, NC. Botox treatments take 10-15 minutes and results typically last for 2–5 months.
