Botox, Daxxify, Dysport, & Xeomin
These are FDA-approved medications used to diminish visible lines and wrinkles. They work by temporarily paralyzing specific muscles that create these lines because of the facial expressions we make. They all work similarly to one another, and result in a more youthful rejuvenated appearance. Whether a consequence of age or other issues, fine lines and wrinkles in areas such as crow's feet, lines between the eyes, furrows in the chin, a "gummy" smile, horizontal forehead lines, etc. can be reduced or even completely disappear. Neurotoxins can also be used to treat the neck, excessive sweating, and other issues.

Botox and Dysport both use a human-derived albumin stabilizer. Dysport delivers results in 4-5 days, whereas Botox generally takes 7-10. However, all of these products take a full 14 days to stabilize completely.

Xeomin differs in that it has no additives. This makes it an excellent option for those with autoimmune issues or dairy allergies. Xeomin is a vegan product.

Daxxify contains a proprietary peptide that allows it to bind more effectively to nerve cells, making it work faster and sometimes last longer than other neurotoxins. It is also a vegan product.

Restylane, Juvederm & RHA Dermal Filler

Restylane, made by Galderma, Juvederm, made by Allergan, and RHA, made by Revance, have several different dermal fillers to shape and add volume to specific areas of the face, including the lips, chin, jawline, cheeks, temples, etc. As we age, our faces naturally lose subcutaneous fat. The facial muscles are working closer to the skin's surface, so wrinkles become more apparent. The skin also stretches a bit, adding to this loss of facial volume.

​

Dermal fillers can plump thin lips, enhance shallow contours, soften facial creases and wrinkles, improved the appearance of scarring, reconstruct contour deformities, and more.

Sculptra

Sculptra is a biostimulant injectable that helps build your own natural collagen to smooth facial wrinkles and improve skin tone. Collaen is a fibrous protein that helps maintain your skin's shape and structure. The skin needs collagen to resist signs of aging, such as volume loss, fine lines, wrinkles, and sagging. By age 40, most of us have lost up to 20% of our own natural collagen.

​

Sculptra helps stimulate natural collagen production. The poly-L-lactic acid in Sculptra forms a framework that helps support and maintain the skin's inner structure, which leads to a more youthful-looking appearance. Sculptra increases type I collagen by 66.5% after three months.
