Botox, Nuceiva, and Dysport are popular brands we use for addressing fine lines and wrinkles.

  • Botox, short for Botulinum Toxin Type A, is a well-known injectable treatment. It works by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles that cause wrinkles, resulting in smoother and softer skin. Botox is commonly used to treat crow's feet, frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), and forehead lines. The treatment is quick, minimally invasive, and typically requires no downtime. Results can last for several months, after which follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain the desired effects.

  • Nuceiva is another injectable treatment for fine lines and wrinkles. It contains Botulinum Toxin Type A, similar to Botox, and works in a similar manner by relaxing facial muscles. Nuceiva is known for its fast-acting results, with improvements often visible within a few days. Like Botox, Nuceiva is effective for treating crow's feet, glabellar lines, and forehead wrinkles. The duration of results may vary, and subsequent treatments are usually required to sustain the effects.

  • Dysport is yet another injectable option for reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles. It also contains Botulinum Toxin Type A and is used to temporarily inhibit muscle contractions. Dysport is frequently used to treat glabellar lines, forehead wrinkles, and crow's feet. The treatment process is similar to Botox and Nuceiva, involving a series of injections administered by a trained healthcare professional. Results can last several months, and maintenance treatments are typically recommended.

How is Botox injected?

These toxins are injected with a tiny insulin needle into different areas of the facial muscle which blocks the neuromuscular transmission of the motor nerve terminal by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine. This produces partial chemical denervation of the muscles promoting muscle relaxation. When the muscles can no longer contract, the skin becomes flat and the lines diminish. This results in smoother, younger-looking skin. Botox cosmetic exhibits a targeted effect so it has minimal migration from the point of injection. It has a rapid onset of action having long-lasting treatment effects.

 

Will I look “Frozen” with Botox, Nuceiva or Dysport injections?

Clients’ biggest concern when being treated with Botox cosmetics is being stuck with the “frozen look” or "paralyzed look" of the face. With a properly trained and skilled injector, the undesirable effects should not happen. Having an injector understand desirable vs undesirable effects is critical. Jodie at SkinDiva Injection Artistry is very conservative when injecting neuromodulators. She has been trained in MD Codes for landmarking when injecting. Using these MD Codes helps Jodie achieve an appropriate aesthetic result for her patients by working with the natural structure and beauty of facial features, therefore enhancing one’s natural features. Targeting dynamic lines and understanding the indirect benefits of facial appearance are essential.

For example, treating the frown lines using the MD Code injection technique can indirectly affect the brow, producing a lifting effect. It can also give the eye a brighter more energetic look.  Injecting too much in one area or in the wrong area can result in eyelid or brow ptosis (droopy eyelid).

WARNING: Found a better deal? "Bargain Botox" is often over diluted with Normal Saline, therefore, delivering fewer units of Botox Cosmetic than needed in turn not providing the desired results.

Specific muscle groups have unique characteristics and strength therefore require different units of Botox, Nuceiva, or Dysport. Depending on the severity of lines/creases and the desired level of correction, the number of Botox units needed will vary. Further discussion of what each client will require will be discussed during the consultation.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

Neuromodulators

  • You’ll start seeing results within 3-4 days, but the full effects of Neuromodulators can take up to 14 days.

  • So, usually Botox and other Neuromodulators keep you looking smooth for about 3-4 months. But here's the deal – your facial moves also play a role. If you're all about those big, expressive expressions, you might develop more of those lines and wrinkles, and that could make your Neuromodulators wear off a bit more quickly.

    The quantity administered also plays a significant role in determining its duration of action. To illustrate, if a smaller quantity of Botox than necessary is injected, its effects may not endure for the expected 3-4 months.

  • When it comes to Botox and Neuromodulators, you're mostly looking at just a tiny bit of pain in the specific spot. Of course, there's that small chance of infection when you break the skin, especially if your immune system isn't at its best, but don't stress too much – that's not super common.

    You might see some puffiness, tenderness, or redness at the injection site. Maybe a tad bit of bleeding or bruising too. Reduce bruising and puffiness by skipping the Advil, ASA, Naproxen, and drinks for a whole day before the injection. That should dial down the bleeding and bruising situation.

  • When you're getting Botox or other Neuromodulator injections, the pain is pretty minor and mostly in the area where they're injecting it. There's a small risk of infection whenever the skin gets punctured, especially if your immune system isn't in the best shape, but don't worry too much about that – it doesn't happen all that often.

    As for other possible stuff that might happen, you could notice a bit of swelling, tenderness, or redness right where they put the needle. Maybe a little bit of bleeding or a bruise too. But here's a trick: if you want to keep the bruising and bleeding in check, just lay off the Advil, ASA, Naproxen, and booze for a whole day before your appointment. That should make things easier in that department.

  • Absolutely, even though Neuromodulators tone down muscle activity, your face can still show expressions. When you've got a skilled and certified injector on the job – no "frozen" look, promise. At SkinDiva, we play it safe and sound with these injections. Our motto? "Start small and build up if needed." We're all about that chill, well-rested, and natural vibe.

  • Stopping Botox or other Neuromodulator treatments won't lead to any major issues. As the effects of Botox gradually fade, you'll notice more movement returning to the treated areas. The period just before your next Neuromodulator session is when you might sense the most movement in your face. Remember, you're free to halt your Botox injections whenever you want. Those expressions that used to cause lines and creases will just go back to how they were before you started treatments.

  • Neuromodulators have gained the green light from the FDA for cosmetic use in individuals between the ages of 18 and 65. Folks on the younger side who get Botox usually want to stay ahead of the game and prevent those pesky static lines from setting in. Out of the 5 million Botox recipients in the US last year, nearly 30% were under 30 years old.
