Here’s a More Affordable Way to Get Botox® Results

You’ve probably heard of Botox® for smoothing facial wrinkles. At Everglow Medical Spa in Cincinnati, we offer a more affordable “Botox” treatment called Xeomin®. It’s another brand name, just as Advil® and Motrin® are different brands of ibuprofen, an over-the-counter pain reliever.

Like Botox, Xeomin uses botulinum toxin type A, an injectable neurotoxin or neurotox that temporarily blocks nerve impulses from reaching the muscles, causing them to relax. As a result, your expression softens, and those lines are more smoothed out and less visible.

Our West Chester residents who use neurotox treatments generally report that the procedure is quick. It usually takes only a few minutes and requires minimal downtime. Although the effects are temporary, many people find the results worth it.

How Neurotox Can Improve Your Appearance

Neurotox treatments can smooth wrinkles and improve the skin’s overall appearance by reducing texture-related imperfections and irregularities. At Everglow Medical Spa, we most often treat areas where muscles affect your facial features, such as

• Frown lines
• “Crow’s feet” around the eyes
• Creases in the forehead
• Creases in the mouth corners
• A chin appearing dimpled or bumpy

Neurotox helps our Everglow patients in the Cincinnati area enhance their appearance by achieving a youthful look and softening expressions that might suggest concern or worry. After treatment, your face will look refreshed and more approachable, conveying a friendlier, more relaxed demeanor.

Neurotox can also help with excessive sweating. Injections of botulinum type A disrupt the nerve impulses that activate your sweat glands. This temporary disruption helps relieve the embarrassment caused by excessive sweating in the underarms, hands, or feet.

If you’re bothered by prominent vertical neck bands, neurotox can help with that, too. The infusions relax the appropriate muscles and give your neck a more uniform appearance.

Choosing a West Chester Provider for Your Neurotox Treatment

You want a local neurotox provider who understands facial anatomy and has a well-developed aesthetic eye. Whomever you choose, make sure they have a proven background in cosmetic treatments, training, and substantial experience administering botulinum toxin treatments.

Consider requesting “before” and “after” photos of the provider’s patients. The person performing your injections should be working under the supervision of a qualified physician, as is the case at Everglow Medical Spa.

What to Expect During Your Neurotox Session

Before your first treatment, you’ll meet with your Everglow specialist to discuss your skincare goals and needs. During your initial consultation, your provider will evaluate your areas of concern and review your medical history.

When you return to our office for treatment, you may be offered a topical anesthetic to numb the area. However, many of our patients find it unnecessary because the needles are very thin and the injections are not deep.

Most patients describe a pinch-like sensation when the needle enters the skin, though most wouldn’t call it pain. You won’t have much time to think about how it feels because the procedure takes only a few minutes.

Immediately after treatment, you can return to your normal activities, including work. However, your provider may recommend taking the day off from exercise or other strenuous activity and keeping your head upright for the rest of the day.

Keep in mind that you’ll likely not see results immediately. Depending on the person and facial area treated, the final effects are usually noticeable after about a week.

How Long Do the Results Last?

Effects vary, but they typically last three to six months. To maintain your enhanced look, your provider may recommend repeating the treatment and adjust dosage and delivery techniques to ensure optimal results.
