Injections
We use Xeomin and Daxxify.
Xeomin®
Some refer to it as 'naked or pure Botox' because it does not have any of the un-necessary ingredients. It is made through a unique precision manufacturing process called XTRACT Technology™, that uses two filtration steps to isolate the therapeutic component of the molecule and removes the complexing/unnecessary proteins that don’t play an active role in treatment. All of the 'un-necessary' ingredients that are NOT in Xeomin can cause an immune response to the toxin and overtime this response can lesson the effect of the injections and who wants that???
Benefits:
- less likely to cause an immune response
- less likely to cause an allergic reaction
- less likely for your body to build up a tolerance for the product
Daxxify®
Using the same class of active ingredient—a purified botulinum toxin type A protein—as other injectable neurotoxins such as Botox Cosmetic, Dysport, and Jeuveau, Daxxify works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to treated muscles. Once injected, Daxxify helps soften expression lines caused by repeated muscle contractions. It is considered a vegan neurotoxin. .
The difference:
- with its its unique formulation, the toxin that temporarily blocks the signals to the muscle is attached to a protein which helps to effects on treated muscles
- clinical trials found that Daxxify (in higher dosed units) can last between 6-9 months (that is potentially 2-3 times longer than other neuromodulators for some patients)
- it is free of any human or animal albumin, making it a vegan product
Cost
- $9 per unit for either Xeomin or Daxxify
- Please inquire about special pricing for Daxxify in the higher dosed units for potential longer lasting results
Neuromodulator/Nerotoxin Injections
Forehead (frontalis) Injection
Movement of the frontalis muscle (the one that moves the eyebrows upward) is the major cause of forehead wrinkles. The orbicularis oculi (muscle around the eye) can also cause outward wrinkles, which include forehead lines, crow’s feet, and lines above the eyebrow.
Brow Lift
AKA the liquid brow lift, this treatment will help you achieve an improved appearance by lifting your eyebrows. This also helps treating frown lines between your brows and hooded eyes caused by age.
Glabella Injection
The procerus muscle, corrugator muscle and the frontalis (see above), can cause glabellar lines or frown lines, also known as the “eleven” lines on the forehead. Wrinkles in this area often result from squinting, frowning and other repeated motions. Age is also a factor: as we age, skin laxity, and gravity will cause fine lines and wrinkles to show.
Crows Feet (lateral canthal)Injection
This treatment relaxes and softens the lines outside of our eyes that result from smiling or squinting.
Jelly Roll (lower eyelid/fine lines under or close to lower lid)
This treatment is for the slight bulge of muscle below your eye when you smile. It is not for dark circles, puffiness, or wrinkles.
Bunny Lines (nose wrinkles)
This treatment tackles the lines that form across our nose. It relaxes them to help prevent deep lines and wrinkles from developing.
Lip Flip (lip 'pop')
The injection temporarily relaxes the muscles around your lip causing the part of your upper lip that’s inside your mouth to “flip” upward and outward, giving your lip a fuller appearance.
People who opt for the lip flip procedure include those who:
- are hoping to achieve fuller lips without a dermal filler
- think their upper lip “disappears” when they smile
- want their smile to appear less gummy, which is when your smile shows more of your gums than you’d like
If you'd like less gums to show when you smile, add the gummy smile treatment as well.
Gummy Smile
This treatment will gently relax your upper lip, giving you a little less “gum” when you smile.
Marionette Lines
Neuromodulators can be used as preventive treatment for Marionette Lines because they relax the surrounding muscle. Most Marionette Lines are caused by volume loss in the skin and corrected with fillers. Check out our ‘Fillers’ page for more information.
Cobblestone (dimpled) Chin
The appearance of dimples across the chin occurs because the muscle underneath is contracting too much. Treatment for this is injection(s) into the mentalis muscle. This treatment can also help improve the contour of the jawline as well as soften a cleft chin.
Neck Bands, Neck or Nefertiti Lift
This relaxes the platysma muscle (the one(s) that stick out when you flex your neck). This can help the jawline appear tighter and more defined. Some clients notice a slight lift to the corners of the mouth and softening the appearance of frown lines
