Neuromodulators

VADARA Med Spa offers Botox®, Dysport® and Xeomin®. All of these products are considered "Neuromodulators," "Neurotoxins," & "Tox." They all contain the same active ingredient,  Botulinum Toxin-A, and act in a similar manner.  The main difference between these products is the inactive ingredients. They all achieve the same goal of wrinkle relaxation. Your injector will help you decide the best product to meet your needs.

Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®  injections are the most popular medical cosmetic treatment in the world. Botox®, Dysport® and Xeomin® are used to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on the face by temporarily paralyzing the underlying muscles.

When injected into facial muscles, they work by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that triggers muscle contractions. This causes the targeted muscles to relax, smoothing out the overlying skin and reducing the appearance of wrinkles.

Botox ®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® typically last around 3-4 months. Individual results vary. 

All appointments begin with a consultation with a certified medical professional. Botox®, Dysport®,  and Xeomin®  appointments take approximately 30 minutes. These procedures use extremely small needles to insert product into the muscles in your face that cause wrinkles to form. This process can be uncomfortable but most people do not consider it to be painful. There is zero downtime and you can even receive treatment during your lunch break. All appointments include a free consultation. 

Neuromodulators like Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® take about 3-5 days to start working. They take 2 weeks to fully set in. Occasionally  people require a touch up after 2 weeks, this is a normal part of the process as your injector gets to know your own unique muscle structure. 

All Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® appointments include a complimentary consultation. If you are unsure about neuromodulators and would like to come in to discuss a treatment plan, we offer free consultation appointments as well.
