Botox/Dysport/Xeomin are all medications comprised of purified forms of Botulinum Toxin, and work as temporary muscle relaxing agents. These medications work by blocking nerve signals in the muscles injected. By targeting muscles beneath, but attached to the skin, Botox/Dysport/Xeomin help reduce muscle activity that causes the skin to wrinkle over time. This action leads to prevention and softening of wrinkles over time.

All 3 medications are very similar – mechanism of action, duration, and price. But like any medication, one may be more or less effective for one person when compared to another (results may vary for each individual).

The best candidates for Botox/Dysport/Xeomin treatments are those who are healthy, at least 18 years of age, who are not pregnant or nursing, with no history of neuromuscular diseases (such as multiple sclerosis, myasthenia gravis, etc.), and understands the treatment process. These medications are ideal for both men and women who are concerned with their fine lines, and want to prevent or slow the aging process.

Botox, Dysport, & Xeomin cost $13/unit. Typical average treatments range from 20-60 units per area treated. See each specific area for average number of units required to treat.

Results are visible within 3-5 days on average, with full effect seen at 14 days.

Results from Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are temporary. Effects usually last about 3-4 months (results may vary for each individual).

Results will be seen after your first treatment with Botox/Dysport/Xeomin. Two weeks post injection, we will reevaluate and determine if more units are needed at that time to ensure adequate coverage. We take a conservative approach with new clients at VESÉ…you can always add more, but can’t take away what you’ve already injected. Results are temporary, therefore treatments will need to be administered on a recurring basis (see longevity info above).

Most clients report that the injections are tolerable and relatively painless. At VESÉ we strive to have everyone feel comfortable and relaxed during their procedures, and achieve this by using a vibration bar (distraction), cryoanesthesia (ice), and music in a spa-like atmosphere.

There is little to no downtime after a Botox/Dysport/Xeomin treatment. Following your procedure, you should avoid lying down, applying hard pressure on the area injected (no rubbing, facials, massages, wearing hats, etc.) and avoid strenuous exercise for approximately four hours. Small areas of redness or swelling may occur at injection sites, but will dissipate over the first 30 minutes following treatment. Bruising is possible - plan 2 weeks ahead of any events/vacations. To minimize bruising, try to avoid alcohol for 48-72 hours prior to treatment. If cleared by medical provider, avoid blood-thinning products (aspirin, vitamin E, fish oil, etc.) for 5-7 days prior to injections.
