These cosmetic injectables have been on the market since the early 2000s. Dr. Pugash offers three different but similar treatments designed to smooth your skin and eliminate lines and creases. The most common treatment sites are the forehead, brow, and around the eyes.
BOTOX®
This purified protein restricts muscle movement during facial expressions. This process prevents lines and creases from being etched in the forehead, brow, and around the eyes.
This treatment is the most popular cosmetic procedure worldwide, with millions of injections administered with safe and effective results. Treatment can take as little as 15-minutes and last four to six months.
Dysport®
Dysport®, like BOTOX®, temporarily paralyzes facial muscles to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Although Dysport® is similar to BOTOX®, there are a few differences between these products.
Primarily, many report Dysport® works more quickly and may last longer. Additionally, patients may respond more positively to Dysport®, even if BOTOX® proved beneficial.
Dysport® injections can be started at a younger age to prevent dynamic wrinkles from forming. Dr. Pugash will discuss all the possible options with you during your consultation to explain more about how Dysport® works and if it’s right for you.
Xeomin®
This neuromodulator was designed to eliminate additives and be less likely to cause an allergic reaction. Unlike BOTOX and Dysport, Xeomin needs no refrigeration and can be stored on shelves safely to reduce spoilage during transit and storage.
