Turning Back the Clock
Xeomin & Botox
We all reach a point in life where we have to admit to ourselves that lines and wrinkles are starting to become prominent on our once youthful faces. Rather than let an aging appearance affect your self-confidence, happiness and sense of well-being, consider these viable options from a trusted local practitioner.
Xeomin and Botox are two of the most popular and effective treatments for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and lines on the face. Xeomin is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, which is injected into the skin to relax the muscles that cause wrinkles. Botox is a similar product made from a different type of botulinum toxin. Both products are FDA-approved and have been proven to be safe and effective.

Our experienced and licensed practitioner will work with you to determine the best treatment plan for your individual needs. He will discuss the benefits and risks of each product, and help you decide which one is right for you.

What's the difference between Toxin (Xeomin/Botox) and fillers?
Filler is a product made of hyaluronic acid (and lidocaine). This product is made into a gel that can be injected into areas that are lacking structure. HA Fillers come in a variety of strengths. Softer for areas that do not need a lot of structure, but need to retain a soft feel and appearance. Then others that are stronger that are typically injected deeper to provide structure to areas that have bone or deep fat pad loss. It is common to have a blend of different filler types in a single client’s treatment plan.
