Mariam Awada, MD, FACS Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Botox

Botox®/Xeomin/Dysport/Jeuveau Cosmetic relaxes the muscles in your face so they do not contract. The contraction of the muscle is what causes the visible wrinkles. Deep wrinkles are a result of that movement of the underlying facial muscles and are caused every time you smile, laugh, or frown. These lines are a direct reflection of your daily routine, i.e., a happy person might have deeper smile lines; a person who squints a lot might have “crow’s feet” around the eyes.

• Forehead Wrinkles
• Drooping Eyebrows
• Frown Lines
• Crow’s Feet
• Smoker’s Lines Around the Mouth
• Platysmal Bands – “Neck Wrinkles”
• Hyperhydrosis – Excessive Sweating Under the Arms

Once Botox®/Xeomin/Dysport/Jeuveau Cosmetic is injected into the muscles, you may start seeing results after two days, although full results may not be seen for two full weeks. The lines may continue to improve for up to a month.

Results should last up to 4 months, although people with stronger, thicker muscles may need it more often than that to weaken the muscles.

Xeomin (Merz), Botox (Allergan) Jeuveau (Evolus) and Dysport (Galderma), and are all injectable neuromodulators, meaning they can temporarily reduce wrinkles and deep lines in targeted muscles, therefore reducing or eliminating contraction-induced wrinkles in the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. The family of neuromodulators can also greatly reduce Hyperhidrosis or excessive sweating, a condition that causes too much perspiration under the arms and palms of the hands.

Definitely. Botox®/Xeomin/Dysport/Jeuveau is not supposed to paralyze the muscles completely. You should still have some movement in the areas that were treated, albeit less movement, so as not to continue making the wrinkles that we are trying to treat. Normal expressions will be maintained.

Side effects are very rare, and there are no known long term problems. There are, however, some risks involved; such as pain in the injection site, bruising, headaches, redness around the injection site, and bleeding can occur at the injection site. Most of these symptoms resolve very quickly, although bruising may last up to two weeks.
