Wrinkle Reducers

---

Botox, the cosmetic form of botulinum toxin A, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates fine lines and wrinkles. Common injection sites include frown lines (11s), forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes, and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a more refreshed and smoother appearance. It is also used for relief of TMJ pain and excessive armpit sweating.

Dysport, also made from botulinum toxin A, is a popular non-surgical injection that temporarily reduces or eliminates fine lines and wrinkles in the frown lines.  Some patients prefer this to Botox, as Dysport is more diluted and spreads more.   It works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a more refreshed and smoother appearance.  

Xeomin, also made from botulinum toxin A, is a another  neurotoxin option that temporarily reduces or eliminates fine lines and wrinkles in the frown lines between the eyebrows.  Some patients prefer this to Botox and Dysport as there is no ability to build up antibodies to this medication.   It works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a more refreshed and smoother appearance.
