The Science Behind Botox, Dysport, Jeuveau, and Xeomin

Neuromodulators are purified proteins (Botulinum Toxin Type A) that temporarily relax targeted muscles, softening dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions. When expertly administered, they smooth lines while preserving natural movement.

Botox®

The most widely recognized neuromodulator, FDA-approved since 2002 with a long record of safety and effectiveness for forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, and more.

Dysport®

Known for its fast onset and ability to diffuse smoothly, Dysport is especially effective for larger treatment areas like the forehead. Many patients notice improvement within 2–3 days, with results lasting 3–4 months.

Xeomin®

A “naked” neurotoxin, Xeomin contains no accessory proteins, which may reduce the risk of resistance. It’s a trusted choice for patients who want a clean, precise option.

Jeuveau®

Nicknamed “Newtox,” Jeuveau is FDA-approved for frown lines and popular among patients seeking a modern, cost-conscious alternative with a fresh brand identity. 56% of patients see noticeable results within 48 hours.

    • Brow lift (nonsurgical lift by relaxing downward-pulling muscles)

What to Expect from Treatment

Consultation

Before receiving neurotoxin, a consultation with a qualified practitioner at LaterzaMD Aesthetic Center is essential. During this session, your medical history will be reviewed, and your aesthetic goals will be discussed. This helps in determining the most appropriate treatment plan tailored to your needs.

The Procedure

The actual injection process is relatively quick, typically taking about 10 to 20 minutes. Using a fine needle, the practitioner will administer small amounts of the neuromodulator into the targeted muscles. Most patients report minimal discomfort, often described as a slight pinch or sting.

Results

You can expect to see initial improvements within 2 to 14 days, depending on the neurotoxin used and the individual person. The effects generally last between 3 to 4 months, after which follow-up treatments are necessary to maintain the desired look.

Aftercare Advice

Proper aftercare is crucial for maximizing the benefits of your neurotoxin treatment and minimizing potential side effects:
  1. Avoid Touching the Area: For the first 24 hours, refrain from touching or massaging the treated areas to prevent the neuromodulator from spreading to unintended muscles
  2.  Stay Upright: Try to stay upright for at least 4 hours post-treatment. This helps in keeping the product localized to the targeted muscles.
  3. Limit Physical Activity: Avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or any activity that increases blood flow to your face for the first 24 hours. Increased blood flow can cause the product to migrate from the injection site.
  4. Avoid Heat Exposure: Steer clear of saunas, hot tubs, and prolonged sun exposure for the first 48 hours as excessive heat can affect the efficacy of the treatment.
  5. Be Gentle with Your Skin: Use gentle cleansers and avoid aggressive exfoliation or skincare treatments that might irritate the skin.
  6. Follow Up: Schedule follow-up appointments as recommended by your aesthetic expert at LaterzaMD Aesthetic Center to assess your results and plan future treatments.
