Botox Diamond Level Practice

Updated: Jul 3, 2019

Are you starting to pay more attention to the wrinkles across your forehead, the lines between your eyes, or your crow’s feet. When you start noticing lines on your face “at rest,” which means while having no facial expression, it’s the right time to start using a relaxing injectable like Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin to prevent wrinkles etching into your skin. The use of these products has been proven to take years off the age of your face, and they are very safe when administered by an experienced medical practitioner. Dr. Michelle Parsons has extensive experience injecting Botox, as well as Xeomin and Dysport. Dr. Parsons has been awarded with Diamond Level Injector status by Allergan, the makers of Botox. Allergan awards the prestigious BOTOX Diamond Level Provider status only to centers that have the most extensive experience and BOTOX cases, ensuring the best treatment for patients.If you are interested in receiving a treatment with Botox, you should seek the most experienced and qualified physician injector in your area. Dr. Parsons has the experience to consistently give you the results you want.

Typical areas treated with Botox are: around the eyes (crow's feet), the frown area and forhead, bunny lines on the nose, the lips, chin and the area around the corners of the mouth to turn the mouth corners upward. Neck bands can also be treated. Botox is also utilized to manage migraine headaches and can control excessive underarm sweating.

ABOUT BOTOX, DYSPORT AND XEOMIN

Millions of Americans have benefited from Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin treatments to improve and prevent frown lines of the face, forehead lines, and crow’s feet around the eyes. Often wrinkles are creases that have been worn into the skin and subcutaneous tissue by making the same repeated expression over many years. The muscles causing these “expression lines” can be relaxed by blocking nerve impulses.

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are neurotoxins, more specifically botulinum toxin type A, that can dramatically reduce the appearance of the toughest wrinkles. Injections of Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin into facial muscles block the chemicals that signal muscle contraction and relax the overlying skin and soft tissue. Results are generally seen anywhere from 2 to 7 days after injection and can last up to 4 months. With regular reapplication, the results can last longer, especially if treatments are done before the muscles are allowed to return to full strength.

BOTOX V. DYSPORT V. XEOMIN

There are several neurotoxins on the market, and Renove Med Spa offers Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. They are similar in the way they work, side effects, longevity, and effectiveness. Deciding on which one to use is up to you and your medical practitioner.

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are used to relax the muscles that cause lines and wrinkles on the upper face. While Botox currently has more name recognition in the U.S., Dysport and Xeomin have been used successfully and safely in Europe for many years. All three products are excellent for treating forehead lines, crow’s feet, and lines between the eyes. There is not one “best” option when it comes to relaxing wrinkles. Each medication’s effectiveness can vary among patients, so finding the right neurotoxin that works best for you is our goal.
