COSMETIC INJECTIONS
Cosmetic injections for a smoother, more youthful look
Botulinum Toxins are a popular cosmetic treatment that can reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. They work by relaxing muscles that cause wrinkles. Botulinum Toxins is a drug that weakens or paralyzes muscles in small doses.
If the early signs of aging have you feeling self-conscious and insecure about your appearance, it’s time to fight back. At Purely Balanced Beauty, we specialize in wrinkle reduction treatments using Botulinum Toxins. The injections offer a quick, easy, and relatively comfortable way to eliminate unsightly wrinkles and fine lines from your forehead to your chin.
BOTOX
Botox® contains a neurotoxin known as botulinum toxin type A. When injected into muscle tissue in the face, Botox causes temporary paralysis and prevents the muscles from constricting, stopping the skin above the muscles from wrinkling.
BOTOX® Cosmetic temporarily relaxes the facial muscles that contribute to wrinkles every time they contract. Within a few days of treatment, targeted wrinkles begin to fade, leaving skin looking smoother and more youthful.
Botox can be safely used to treat multiple areas of the face, including more sensitive and delicate areas like the corners of the eyes. Botox injections can be used to reduce the appearance of effectively:
Brow furrows (11’s), Crow’s feet, Forehead wrinkles, Bunny lines (around the nose), Chin wrinkles, Frown lines, Lip lines
DYSPORT
Dysport® is an injectable neurotoxin toxin designed to relax the facial muscles responsible for the formation of wrinkles and fine lines. Dysport® differs from BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments in that it spreads further from the injection site than BOTOX®, making it better suited for treating larger areas.
Treatment with Dysport® is a very quick, in-office procedure that causes only minimal discomfort (typically compared to an insect bite). Little to no downtime is required, so you can get back to your usual activities immediately.
Results should be visible in 3 to 4 days and will last for up to 6 months. The procedure is easily repeatable, so you can keep your youthful-looking results fresh.
XEOMIN
Xeomin is made from the same purified protein as Botox, and it behaves the same way. The key difference between the two are the extra proteins Botox uses. Xeomin is purified to isolate the therapeutic component of the protein molecule and filter out the accessory proteins.
Xeomin results can appear as early as one day after treatment. This differs from Botox, which usually takes effect between 3-5 days.
This is beneficial for a client who has put off treatment and has an event happening in a few days. They may experience a softening of lines quicker with this treatment than they would with Botox. Xeomin can last up to four months. Each patient is different, and the timeline varies from person to person
Are You a Candidate For Botulinum Toxins?
If you’re currently suffering from any of the above early signs of aging and want to rejuvenate your youthful look, then Botox is the treatment for you. Ideal patients are in good physical health and have realistic expectations. We’ll closely analyze your skin and develop a customized treatment plan tailored to your specific needs.
Which Injectable Is Right for You?
This is best determined by a partnership with your doctor or skincare professional. There are several factors to consider. You’ll want to talk through your previous treatment history and whether you have experience with neuromodulators. If you’ve had Botox previously, and it worked well, that may be the right route to take.
If you’ve shown signs of developing a tolerance to Botox or need faster results than Botox can offer, then Xeomin will be the way to go. Your doctor will have a specific set of questions and considerations to go over before a recommendation is made.
