What is Dysport®?
Prescription Dysport® is an injection used to temporarily improve the look of your frown lines without changing the look of your whole face. The untreated facial muscles still work normally, allowing you to freely show facial expressions, such as smiling, in untreated areas..
How does Dysport® work?
With just 1 injection into each of 5 points between and over the eyebrows, Dysport® blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines. You should not be treated with Dysport® more frequently than every 90 days.
Can I use Dysport® and still look like me?
Prescription Dysport® is an injection used to temporarily improve the look of your moderate to severe frown lines without changing the look of your whole face. The untreated facial muscles still work normally, allowing you to freely show facial expressions, such as smiling, in untreated areas.
How long has Dysport® been used?
Though approved in the United States for aesthetic use in April 2009, Dysport® has a history of use in other countries since 1991. Outside the U.S., it was first approved for aesthetic use in 2001.

What is XEOMIN®?
XEOMIN® is a botulinum toxin that is used to treat adults with cervical dystonia and blepharospasm. It has been used around the world since 2005 and was introduced to the US market in 2010 by Merz Pharmaceuticals, LLC.
What is botulinum toxin?
Botulinum toxin is a naturally occurring protein produced by the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. Botulinum toxin type A—the active ingredient in XEOMIN®—is produced commercially from C. botulinum serotype A.
How does XEOMIN® work?
XEOMIN® is injected into muscles to decrease their activity. XEOMIN® blocks the release of a chemical messenger—acetylcholine—that conveys the signal from nerve terminals and causes muscle fibers to contract. Not all terminals are affected by botulinum toxin, so the muscles can still contract, just less forcefully. This allows the muscles to contract more normally.
How often will I need treatment with XEOMIN®?
Everyone is different. However, clinical studies suggest that it generally takes 7 days before most people begin to feel improvement. The effect generally lasts up to 12 weeks, but the effect in individual patients may be significantly longer or shorter.
How many XEOMIN® shots will I need for treatment?
This also varies from person to person. Your doctor will decide how many sites to inject and the total dose per muscle based on your condition.
Are all botulinum toxin products the same?
Not all botulinum toxin products are the same. This is reflected in the unique names for each product. The dose of XEOMIN® may be different from other botulinum toxin products.
Price range: $12.00 per unit. Prices vary per client. Consultations are always complimentary.
