Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are injectable treatments used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. These neuromodulators work by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for these facial wrinkles, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.
While Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin all contain botulinum toxin type A and function similarly, they differ in their formulation and the specific proteins they contain. These differences can affect the onset of action, the spread of the product, and the longevity of the results. Botox is the most well-known brand, while Dysport tends to spread more, which can be beneficial for larger areas. Xeomin is unique in that it contains no accessory proteins, which can reduce the risk of developing resistance. For more on the similarities and differences, Click Here!
The results of Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin treatments typically last between three to four months, depending on the individual and the area treated. Regular maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain the smooth, wrinkle-free appearance.
Common side effects of Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin include temporary bruising, swelling, and redness at the injection site. Some patients may experience mild headaches, drooping eyelids, or dry eyes. These side effects are generally short-lived and resolve on their own. It is essential to have these treatments performed by a qualified medical professional to minimize risks.
To prepare for your Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin treatment, avoid taking blood-thinning medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen for at least a week prior to the procedure to reduce the risk of bruising. It is also advisable to refrain from alcohol consumption for 24 hours before the treatment. Ensure you discuss your medical history and any medications you are taking with your provider.
During the treatment, Dr. Croland will clean the targeted area and use a fine needle to inject small amounts of the chosen neuromodulator into the specific muscles causing the wrinkles. The procedure typically takes about 10-20 minutes and involves minimal discomfort. There is no downtime, and you can return to your daily activities immediately after the treatment.
Results from Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin treatments usually begin to appear within 3 to 5 days, with full results visible within 7 to 10 days. The skin will look smoother, and wrinkles will be significantly reduced.
Yes, Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin can be combined with other aesthetic treatments such as dermal fillers, laser resurfacing, and chemical peels to enhance overall facial rejuvenation. Combining treatments can address multiple signs of aging and provide more comprehensive results. Consult with Dr. Croland to create a personalized treatment plan.
After the treatment, avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours to prevent the product from spreading to unintended muscles.

What’s the difference between frown lines and skin wrinkles?
Frown lines and skin wrinkles are common concerns as the skin ages, often caused by repetitive facial expressions, sun exposure, and the natural loss of skin elasticity. Frown lines, also known as glabellar lines, appear between the eyebrows and are typically the result of repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or concentrating. These lines can become more pronounced over time, making the face appear older and more tired. Treatments for frown lines include neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, which temporarily relax the muscles to smooth out these lines. Consistent use of sunscreen and a skincare regimen that includes retinoids and peptides can also help in reducing the appearance of frown lines.
Skin wrinkles, on the other hand, can form anywhere on the face and body, often developing as fine lines initially before becoming deeper creases. Wrinkles are a natural part of the aging process, exacerbated by factors such as genetics, smoking, dehydration, and environmental damage. The loss of collagen and elastin in the skin’s deeper layers reduces its ability to bounce back, leading to the formation of wrinkles. Effective treatments for skin wrinkles include topical retinoids, which promote cell turnover and collagen production, as well as dermal fillers, laser therapy, and chemical peels that can rejuvenate the skin’s appearance. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet rich in antioxidants, adequate hydration, and avoiding smoking, can also help minimize the development of wrinkles.
