Get Smoother Skin in No Time with Neurotoxins
Did you know there are different kinds of Botox? At Revive Tradition, we offer both BOTOX® and XEOMIN® treatments. We can discuss the details of these treatments with you and help you decide which option is the best fit to meet your needs and specifications. Our experienced staff all favor XEOMIN® for many reasons.
BOTOX® and XEOMIN® are FDA-approved neurotoxins used to treat fine lines and wrinkles. Although both treatments are used for similar purposes, there are some distinct differences between them that may influence your decision when choosing a treatment.
Both BOTOX® and XEOMIN® have been approved by the FDA for treating facial wrinkles. Both are administered via an injection and the results are long-lasting but not permanent. In order to sustain long-term results, patients usually need another dosage of treatment every three to four months.
Both neurotoxins work by relaxing the facial muscles and blocking nerve impulses that contract them.
The primary difference between BOTOX® and XEOMIN® are the components that make up each one. XEOMIN® only contains one ingredient, known as botulinum toxin Type A. BOTOX®, however, is made up of many different kinds of proteins. XEOMIN® is considered the “purer” neurotoxin, and its singular ingredient means there is less chance that a patient will develop antibodies that will prevent it from producing the desired effects. Additionally, XEOMIN® does not have to be refrigerated before it is used, making it more cost effective and easier to distribute.
The only drawback XEOMIN® has when compared to BOTOX®, is that it can take longer for the effects to manifest. BOTOX® usually starts working within three days, whereas XEOMIN® can take up to four days.
What Is In a Dermal Filler Injection?
As we age, our face naturally loses volume from subcutaneous fat. This brings our muscles closer to the surface, which contributes to areas such as smile lines and thin lips. Dermal fillers, also known as soft tissue fillers injected into the the skin works by restoring volume thereby smoothing out lines and creases in the skin.
Dermal fillers are used for many cosmetic purposes, including:
Plumping the lips
Smoothing facial lines
Removing shadows and wrinkles around the eyes
Diminishing the appearance of recessed scars
Softening facial wrinkles
