What is Botox®?

Botox® is a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. It is most commonly used in cosmetic procedures to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face by paralyzing the muscles that cause them. Botox® is injected into the target area using a fine needle, and the effects typically last three to six months before another treatment is necessary. It is also used in medical treatments for a variety of conditions, such as excessive sweating and muscle spasms.

Medically, Botox is used to treat a variety of conditions such as:

Botox FAQs

Is Botox Safe?

Botox is a safe and FDA-approved cosmetic treatment when performed by a licensed and experienced practitioner. However, like any medical procedure, it does carry some risks, so it's important to discuss your medical history and any concerns with your practitioner prior to treatment.

How much does Botox cost?

The cost of Botox varies depending on the number of units needed, the location of the practitioner, and other factors. On average, a single Botox treatment can range from $300 to $1,500.

How long does Botox last?

The effects of Botox typically last between 3-6 months, after which time the muscles will gradually start to contract again and the wrinkles may return. The exact duration of the effects will depend on several factors, such as the patient's age, skin type, and the amount of Botox used.

What are the side effects of Botox?

Common side effects of Botox include temporary redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site, as well as headache and nausea. Serious side effects are rare but may include difficulty breathing or swallowing, double vision, and muscle weakness.

Can Botox be used for medical conditions?

What are Botox Results Like?

Results may start to appear within 24 to 48 hours for frown lines. These results can last for up to 4 months.

What should I expect during a Botox appointment?

During a Botox appointment, your practitioner will clean the area to be treated and then use a fine needle to inject the Botox into the targeted muscles. The procedure is usually performed in less than 30 minutes and requires no downtime.

How long does the Botox treatment take?

The actual Botox treatment takes only a few minutes to perform. However, the results may take several days to fully develop and can last up to 6 months.

What is the Botox Recovery Time?

There is minimal downtime, and many patients can get back to their daily activities right after treatment. You may have specific aftercare instructions from your Halo team member.

Dysport FAQs

What is Dysport?

Halo uses dysport to help patients achieve their perfect smile. We call it the invisible braces, because with this treatment you can’t see any of your teeth moving inwards anymore!

Frown lines are becoming more popular as people realize how visible they make us look unnatractive; at halo we specialize on making them disappear so everyone has confidence again

Dysport is the latest in facial muscle relaxants to hit shelves. It works by stopping release of acetylcholine, which causes frown lines and other cosmetic problems associated with aging such as crow's feet or furrows on your forehead that can be caused from constant tension when smiling too much! Unlike Botox however Dysport operates at different dosages - it will help stop certain movement patterns without causing any downtime whatsoever so you won't need vacation time off work just because there happens across an awesome new treatment option for yourself (or lovedone).

What is it Like to Get the Injections?

Your Halo team member can go over what your treatment schedule will look like for what you’re are specifically working to treat. The procedure takes 10 to 20 minutes in many cases.

What Kind of Results Can I Expect from Dysport?

Typically, results are noticeable within 2 to 3 days. You will see an improvement in moderate to severe frown lines. One treatment can also last up to 4 months. Your Halo clinician can talk to you about maintenance treatments and what to expect for your exact treatment.

Does Dysport Have Any Side Effects?

Dysport can cause a number of side effects, like headache, pain at the injection site and nausea. Your Halo team member can walk you through any possible side effects and address any concerns you may have.

Xeomin FAQs

What is Xeomin?

Xeomin primarily helps improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Though at Halo, we use it to treat a variety of needs. It’s a treatment that’s injected right into the skin. It’s made from botulinum toxin type A, a protein from the bacterium clostridium botulinum (same as Botox).

Frown lines are caused by muscles between the eyebrows contracting as you frown or squint. As you age, your skin loses its elasticity, and then repeated movements cause frown lines. Xeomin affects nerve endings so that that muscles don’t contract. Since the muscles do not contract, the injections temporarily reduce those frown lines.

What is it Like to Get a Xeomin Treatment?

Treatments typically take about 10 to 20 minutes. The medicine is injected directly into the muscles in the forehead that cause the frown lines between eyebrows. There is no anesthesia, but your Halo team member may use a topical anesthetic or cold pack to make the procedure more comfortable.

When Will I See Results with Xeomin?

A visibly smoother area between the brows could happen as soon as 3 to 4 days after treatment. The typical patient sees results in less than a week. Some patients reported noticing a difference as long as 30 days after. Results lasted for up to 3 months in clinical trials, though individual results may vary. You Halo team member can discuss what type of results to expect in your individual case.

Does Xeomin Cause Side Effects?

Xeomin can cause serious allergic reactions, as well as headaches, muscle weakness and other side effects. Your Halo clinician can discuss possible side effects and address any concerns you might have.

What is the Difference Between Botox, Xeomin and Dysport?

What Are Each of Them Made Out Of?

Xeomin, Botox and Dysport are all made from the bacterium clostridium botulinum, which gets synthetized as the botulinum toxin type A in all three products. They have all been proven in clinical trials.

The main differences are in the manufacturing processes. Xeomin is different in that it only contains the toxin as an ingredient, which means the body is less likely to become resistant to it. Xeomin uses a “naked” molecule, meaning it has not had surface proteins added. Botox and Dysport have these added proteins, and people may have more risk of allergic reactions and rejections as a result. In rare cases, some patients can develop antibodies to Botox and Dysport.

Do Results Differ From Each One?

Yes, the three treatments can show results at different times. As far as when you see treatment results and for how long, the times are:

Botox: Results typically appear within 24 to 48 hours, lasting up to 4 months.
Dysport: Noticeable improvement appears within 2 to 3 days on moderate to severe frown lines, lasting up to 4 months.
Xeomin: Visible smoothing may be seen within 3 to 4 days at the earliest, lasting up to 3 months.

Results may vary by individual cases and what you are treating, so your Halo team member can walk you through what to expect with results for each treatment.

How Do the Treatments Work?

All three treatments work the same. They all temporarily paralyze the muscles on the face, which reduces frown lines and wrinkles.

Treatments typically target slightly different things. Botox typically works on both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet. Dysport and Xeomin are both used for moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. At Halo, we use all three in a variety of treatments.

Dysport is known for spreading better, meaning fewer injection sites. It is often given as a second line of defense for patients who have stopped responding to Botox. Dysport can affect a slightly larger area than Botox and has a reputation of looking more natural as a result. Botox, on the other hand, may be used to target more specific and stubborn areas, like deeper wrinkling. Xeomin is typically called in for patients who are sensitive to added proteins.

Your Halo team member can further walk you through the differences between the three treatments and which one is the best option for you.

What Are the Side Effects Like Between Botox, Xeomin and Dysport?

Potential side effects tend to be the same between the three treatments, including rare cases of allergic reaction, headaches and drooping eyelids being the same between all three products. Because of fewer additives, however, Xeomin has less of a chance of allergic reactions. Your Halo clinician can talk to you about any concerns you may have regarding side effects.

Will Botox, Dysport and Xeomin Make Me Look Fake?

A common question people have is how fake they could look after treatments that restrict muscle movement and whether it would restrict the ability to show emotions. Your Halo team member can discuss any concerns you have about how the results will look and can tell you whether each treatment would be right for you.
