Are there alternatives to Botox?

Numerous other injectable medications work similarly to Botox.

Center Aesthetic & Dermatology also provides:

• Dysport, which contains a variation of the active ingredient as Botox.
• Xeomin, which contains the same active ingredient as Botox but without any additives.

Your provider at Center can help you determine your best option based on factors such as your desired results and whether you have an allergy or concerns about a particular ingredient.

Does Botox hurt?

Botox and similar wrinkle-reducing products are injected into the area using a very fine needle and take only a few seconds per injection. As a result, any pain or discomfort tends to be mild and temporary. People have compared the sensation to a tiny pinch. For added ease, you can request ice or a topical numbing gel.

How long does Botox last?

Botox results may begin to appear 1-2 days post-treatment and usually bring full benefits within 10-14 days. Results vary, but many people experience benefits for 3-4 months. The same is true for Dysport and Xeomin. We send out appointment reminders every 4 months to ensure your results are consistent and leave you looking your best.
