Botulinum toxin type A is a popular treatment for temporarily relaxing and weakening muscles to smooth out wrinkles. The most common areas we treat are the "11s" between the eyebrows, the forehead, and crow’s feet to help open up the eyes or achieve a soft eyebrow lift. But there are plenty of other areas we can target too. This treatment softens the lines caused by muscle movement, giving you a smoother, more radiant look.

How long the effects last can vary from person to person, depending on the dosage and the strength of the muscles being treated. Typically, a frown will stay softened for about 3 to 4 months. The forehead might need a touch-up a bit sooner since we use a lighter treatment here to avoid that heavy brow feeling.

When it comes to the different products, Dysport has a faster uptake—you should start noticing results within 5 days. Xeomin might take a little longer, but give it the full 2 weeks to see the final results.
