Is Xeomin® Better Than Botox®?

Before Botox®, surgery was the only way to treat expression lines and wrinkles. Today, you can choose between the original Botox® and several other neuromodulators, including Xeomin®. This new treatment works in a similar way but may have some advantages depending on your needs. View More Patient Results *Individual results may vary What are Xeomin® and Botox®? Xeomin® and Botox® are types of neuromodulators. They both use a compound called botulinum toxin to do their work. This compound acts on your facial nerves, limiting their signals to your facial muscles. As a result, muscles stop pulling on the skin and your wrinkles can relax. Xeomin® and Botox® are generally used to treat the same lines and wrinkles, including horizontal forehead lines, vertical creases between the brows, and crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes. Treating the facial muscles that cause these lines allows the rest of your face to move naturally.  Is Xeomin® Better Than Botox®? The primary difference between Xeomin® and Botox® is the accessory proteins they [...]

How Much are Dermal Fillers and Botox® Together?

Two of the most popular ways to reduce facial lines and wrinkles are dermal fillers and Botox®. While both do an excellent job when used alone, combining the two produces even better results for a comprehensive anti-aging treatment.  View More Patient Results *Individual results may vary Why Have Dermal Fillers and Botox® Together? Dermal fillers and Botox® both reduce lines and wrinkles, but they work on different types of lines and wrinkles. Botox® works on the active facial muscles that pull on the skin and cause it to wrinkle. Dermal fillers lift wrinkles from beneath by adding volume. Combining the two allows you to reduce both types of wrinkles for smoother, more youthful-looking skin.  How Much are Dermal Fillers and Botox® Together? The cost of both products varies from place to place. Different providers will also have their own pricing. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost per syringe of most popular dermal fillers is $650.  You may need more than one syringe. Botox® is [...]

Botox®, Xeomin®, or Dysport®: Which one is Right for Me

The neurotoxins, which include Botox®, Xeomin®, and Dysport®, remain very popular as a successful, no-downtime method for treating difficult expression lines and wrinkles. At Laser Skin Care Center, we offer all three choices, letting us take advantage of each formula’s unique attributes to give you the best results.  View More Patient Results *Individual results may vary What are Botox®, Xeomin®, and Dysport®? These three treatments fall under the category of neurotoxins. They do not cause any permanent changes to your nerves or muscles. However, they disrupt the signals between muscles and nerves. When injected into the facial muscles, they prevent these muscles from contracting.  The contractions of facial muscles, especially lifelong muscle contractions like smile and frown lines, can cause deep wrinkles and lines in the skin. By quieting the muscles creating these wrinkles, the neurotoxins (Botox®, Xeomin®, or Dysport®) allow the skin to smooth out and become more relaxed.  Injectables Consultations Available Request A Consultation [...]

What is the Difference Between Botox® and Dysport®?

Botox® and Dysport® are injectable treatments for lines and wrinkles on the face. However, they have some differences, and either one may work better than the other for your individual needs.  View More Patient Results *Individual results may vary What is Botox®? Botox® is a neuromuscular toxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. This toxin has many medical uses, but its primary cosmetic use is for injection into the facial muscles. Botox® relaxes these muscles by blocking the signals from the nerves, keeping them from pulling on the skin.   The most common areas for treatment with Botox® are frown lines on the forehead and between the eyebrows, as well as smile lines around the mouth. In these areas, muscles pull and tug at the skin, creating lines and creases. Botox® allows the skin to relax, letting the lines smooth out. Effects last three to four months.  What is Dysport®? Dysport® targets the lines and wrinkles in the glabellar area between the eyebrows. Wrinkles and creases in this area can [...]

Can You Get Dermal Fillers and Botox® at the Same Time?

Laser Skin Care Center offers both dermal fillers and Botox® as injectable treatments to combat the signs of aging. Despite what you may believe, the two treatments are significantly different.

However, the science behind each option - and the specific problems they address - are completely different.  View More Patient Results *Individual results may vary What are Dermal Fillers?

How to Get Rid of Forehead Wrinkles

Forehead wrinkles are the earliest sign of aging for most of the population. They are usually brought on by repetitive facial expressions, making the skin wrinkle and slowly form deep lines. The more you frown, the deeper your lines will be. As you get older, the natural aging process also kicks in, enhancing the wrinkles and making you look a lot older.  While it can be hard to avoid forehead wrinkles, the good news is that you can treat them. Laser Skin Care Center carries a range of neurotoxins that are suitable for tackling this problem.  View More Patient Results *Individual results may vary About Neurotoxins Neurotoxins are injectable treatments that inject a micro amount of toxin into your body, disrupting the signals between muscle fibers and the brain. Effectively, this prevents the muscles from contracting, which can prevent and smooth wrinkles. While the idea of injecting a toxin into your body sounds dangerous, neurotoxin treatments are completely safe and have been FDA-approved for decades.  What Can Neurotoxins Target? [...]

What are the Benefits of Botox®?

There’s a good reason you’ve already heard about Botox®. This fascinating compound is highly effective at reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles - something that makes it one of the most popular cosmetic interventions in the world.  View More Patient Results *Individual results may vary How Botox® Works Patients of the Laser Skin Care Center are often surprised to find out how Botox® works. It doesn’t “plump” the skin in the traditional sense, or smooth it out by adding material to the dermis. Instead, it relies exclusively on muscle relaxation.  Your complexion comprises multiple layers. First, you have the dermis - a thick barrier of skin cells. And then under that, you have all the blood vessels and nerves supplying it with nutrients and sensations.  Below those, you eventually come to facial muscles - the tissue that allows you to create expressions. As you get older, muscles can become tense and cause the skin on your face to crinkle, creating deep furrows. Botox® works by targeting these muscles, deactivating [...]

Will My Botox Results Look Natural?

A lot of women and men shy away from Botox because they’ve seen celebrities or friends who have undergone Botox and now their face barely moves or looks permanently surprised. What they don’t realize is that Botox doesn’t have to cause this – these problems are due to an inexperienced doctor or a patient who insists on too much Botox. To achieve natural Botox, patients should do their homework. Consider credentials and experience. Find a board-certified dermatologist, plastic surgeon or physician assistant. Research the doctor’s previous work. Look at before and after photos of previous patients. How do their results look to you? Check online reviews. Did patients get home and realize they didn’t like their Botox results? Meet the doctor face to face for a consultation. Botox should be highly individualized. Pick a doctor you feel comfortable with. Are they pressuring you to get more Botox than you are comfortable with? Are they listening to your goals and desires? The next step is to create an individualized Botox plan with your doctor – [...]

Discover the Best Wrinkle Treatments at Laser Skin Center!

Have you been noticing more wrinkles and fine lines appearing on your skin? Unfortunately, wrinkles are an expected side effect of the aging process.
