Botulinum Toxin

Botox®, Dysport® and Xeomin® are injectable medications used to treat facial wrinkles, along with other conditions. All the brands are made from similar forms of Botulinum Toxin. They are registered in New Zealand for the treatment of facial wrinkles. They work to soften and prevent developing deep wrinkles.

I stock all three options of Botulinum Toxin, Dysport®, Xeomin® and Botox®, and will help determine which product is best for you.

Benefits of Botulinum Toxin

Do you want to soften the facial frown, forehead and crows lines? Botox®/Dysport®/Xeomin® muscle relaxants will do this.

My goal is to enhance your natural beauty while keeping you looking like you, just the more youthful version.

Dysport®/Botox®/Xeomin® is used for facial enhancement, and it requires a particular eye and a knowledge of facial muscle structure, form, and function. Knowing this allows me to achieve the look you are after while keeping you looking beautiful and natural.

Botox®/Dysport®/Xeomin® are prescription medicines for the treatment of frown lines, horizontal forehead lines and crow’s feet around the eyes.

Dysport® vs Botox® vs Xeomin® injections?

Dysport®/Botox®/Xeomin® are all types of neurotoxins that block muscle contractions. They are derived from Botulinum Toxin.

While they share many similarities, there are some differences in their formulations, onset of action, duration of effect, and specific applications.

I find people have a personal preference for either Dysport®, Xeomin® or Botox®. This generally comes from what they have used before or how quickly they see results.

I like to offer all options, so you have the choice. However, in our consultation, I will recommend the best derivative to achieve your specific aesthetic goals and medical history.

What is a Botox®/Dysport®/Xeomin® injection?

Botox®/Dysport®/Xeomin® are injections containing abobotulinumtoxinA (Botulinum Toxin Type A). Botulinum Toxin blocks nerve activity in the muscles, causing a temporary reduction in muscle activity.

Effects appear within 2-7 days, depending on what product you choose.

All three neuromodulators last for about three to four months for most patients, although individual genetic factors, metabolism in particular, can affect this duration.

When nerve conduction is blocked, muscles stop contracting; if the muscles stop contracting, the skin overlying, the muscles stop creasing, and wrinkles are reduced. Done over a period of time, deep wrinkles can be significantly erased.

What is involved in the treatment of Dysport®/Botox®/Xeomin®?

The treatment of wrinkle relaxers is straightforward and quick. A full consultation is provided before treatment and no allergy testing is required pre-treatment. In the consultation, we will discuss your areas of concern, desired results, budget and what product will work best for you. I will then prescribe your dose or number of units required for the best outcome and give you the cost.

A very small amount is injected via a tiny needle into the desired area and normally takes about 5 minutes. Pain is minimal and no pain relief is required. I will provide an ice pack if you are concerned about pain.

After treatment, you can carry on with your day as normal with no downtime.

How quickly will I see results?

You may see results in as early as 2-3 days. Typically improvement is noticed in 5-7 days. The treatment lasts 3-6 months and then needs to be repeated. Over time as the wrinkles lessen, the amount of Botox®/Xeomin®/Dysport® is reduced or the time between treatments is extended.
