Botox®, Dysport®, Letybo®, and Xeomin®: What’s the Difference?
Vadara Med Spa in Mill Creek, WA offers Botox®, Dysport®, Letybo®, and Xeomin®, all of which are classified as neuromodulators, neurotoxins, or tox. These products contain the same active ingredient, Botulinum Toxin-A, and work by temporarily relaxing facial muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
The primary difference between these products lies in their inactive ingredients. Despite these differences, they all achieve the same goal of wrinkle relaxation. Your injector will help determine the best option based on your individual needs and desired results.
How Does It Work?
Botox®, Dysport®, Letybo®, and Xeomin® are among the most popular cosmetic injectables worldwide for reducing fine lines and wrinkles. These FDA-approved neurotoxins temporarily relax facial muscles to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.
When injected into targeted muscles, these treatments block the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions. By preventing repetitive movements that cause wrinkles, neurotoxins help soften expression lines and prevent new ones from forming.
Results typically appear within a few days and can last three to four months, depending on the product and individual metabolism.
What To Expect At Your Appointment
All appointments begin with a consultation with a certified medical professional to assess your goals and determine the best treatment plan. Treatments with Botox®, Dysport®, Letybo®, and Xeomin® typically take about 30 minutes, making them a quick and convenient option for wrinkle reduction.
Using ultra-fine needles, the neurotoxin is precisely injected into targeted facial muscles that contribute to wrinkle formation. While some patients experience mild discomfort, the procedure is generally well-tolerated and not considered painful.
There is no required downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately—even fitting in a session during your lunch break. Every appointment includes a complimentary consultation to ensure you receive the most effective treatment for your needs.
When Will it Start to Work?
Neuromodulators like Botox®, Dysport®, Letybo®, and Xeomin® typically begin to take effect within three to five days, with full results visible after two weeks.
In some cases, a small touch-up may be needed after two weeks to refine the results. This is a normal part of the process as your injector assesses how your unique muscle structure responds to treatment.
Do I need a Consultation First?
All Botox®, Dysport®, Letybo®, and Xeomin® appointments include a complimentary consultation to ensure the treatment is tailored to your needs.
