Introduction
We’ve all heard of Botox, the injectable treatment that helps to reduce wrinkles and make us look younger. It’s one of the most popular treatments among men and women alike, and it has become increasingly popular over the years. But what exactly is Botox and what are the different types?
At ELLEMES Medical Spa, we specialize in facial aesthetic treatments, so we know all about Botox and the different types. In this blog post, we’ll walk you through the different types of Botox and explain what each one does.
What is Botox?
At its core, Botox is a neuromodulator. It works by blocking certain nerve signals to the muscles in the face, which helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Botox is usually injected into the forehead, around the eyes, and around the mouth.
The effects of Botox usually last three to six months, and patients typically need to come in for maintenance injections every four to six months in order to maintain their results.
Types of Botox
There are several different types of Botox, each with its own unique properties. Let’s take a look at them and see what they can do.
Botox Cosmetic
Botox Cosmetic is the most commonly used type of Botox and the one you’re probably most familiar with. It’s used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, and around the mouth. It can also be used to treat crow’s feet and frown lines.
Dysport
Dysport is another neuromodulator that works in a similar way to Botox. It can help to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes.
Xeomin
Xeomin is an injectable neuromodulator that is used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. It is FDA-approved for the treatment of crow’s feet and frown lines.
Jeuveau
Jeuveau is a neuromodulator that is used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. It is FDA-approved for the treatment of crow’s feet and frown lines.
