“We help our patients achieve natural-looking facial rejuvenation through carefully selected injectable treatments, focusing on meticulous attention to detail and outstanding customer service.”
The world of cosmetic injectables offers three remarkable solutions – Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin. Each treatment stands unique in its formulation and delivery, yet all share one purpose: helping you look and feel your best.
Our patients frequently ask about choosing between these trusted options. The decision matters deeply – it’s about your appearance, your confidence, and your investment in self-care.
The right choice depends on several key factors:
- Your desired treatment areas
- How quickly you want to see results
- Your body’s response to different formulations
Let us guide you through the distinct qualities of each injectable. We’ll examine onset times, result duration, and cost considerations to help determine your ideal treatment path. Our expertise comes from years of experience delivering exceptional results for thousands of satisfied patients.
The Science Behind Neurotoxin Injectables
“Our expertise in neurotoxin treatments comes from years of precise application and careful study of muscle dynamics. Each treatment represents our commitment to natural-looking results and patient safety.”
Botulinum Toxin: The Foundation
Botulinum toxin type A, produced by Clostridium botulinum, stands as the most requested cosmetic procedure in the U.S.. Our medical team uses this purified protein with meticulous precision, creating controlled, refined results for each patient.
Muscle Relaxation Science
The science speaks through results. These injectables block specific nerve signals to targeted muscles, pausing muscle movement in treatment areas. Our patients see changes within 48 hours, sometimes as quickly as 6 hours after treatment.
Treatment Areas
Our expertise focuses on key facial zones where muscle movement shapes appearance:
- Glabellar Lines – The “elevens” between brows
- Crow’s Feet – Eye area lines
- Forehead – Horizontal creases
- Mouth Corners – Upward repositioning
- Chin – Texture smoothing
Results typically last 3-4 months. The forehead area usually requires 8-18 units, while crow’s feet need 4-14 units per side.
Beyond facial aesthetics, these treatments excel in addressing hyperhidrosis and neck bands. Dr. Stile’s careful attention to muscle dynamics ensures optimal results for both cosmetic and medical applications.
Injectable Formulations: The Science of Distinction
“We believe in understanding every aspect of our treatments, from molecular structure to storage requirements, ensuring optimal results through meticulous attention to detail.”
Protein Content Differences
Our expertise in neurotoxin treatments reveals distinct protein profiles:
- Botox delivers 5 ng of clostridial protein per 100-unit vial
- Dysport contains 4.35 ng of clostridial protein per 500-unit vial
- Xeomin features 0.6 ng of clostridial protein per 100-unit vial
Xeomin stands unique as the “naked” injectable – pure neurotoxin without additional proteins. Botox and Dysport maintain their complexing proteins around the toxin.
Storage Requirements
Our strict protocols ensure product integrity. Botox and Dysport demand refrigeration at 2-8°C (36-46°F). Xeomin brings flexibility with room temperature storage capability.
Manufacturing Excellence
Each product stems from the Hall strain of Clostridium botulinum type A, yet follows distinct purification paths. Botox presents as a 900 kD complex, while Xeomin undergoes additional purification.
The spread patterns tell their story:
- Dysport: Quarter-sized spread
- Botox: Penny-sized spread
- Xeomin: Dime-sized spread
Patient sensitivities guide our choices. Those with egg or lactose protein allergies need special consideration with Dysport. Dr. Stile’s expertise ensures each patient receives their ideal treatment match.
The Unique Qualities of Each Injectable
“Our years of experience reveal distinct characteristics for each injectable. Meticulous attention to these differences helps deliver outstanding results for our patients.”
Result Timeline

- Xeomin shows results within 2 days
- Botox develops over 4-5 days
Full results emerge within 2 weeks for all treatments.
Tissue Spread Patterns
Dr. Stile’s expertise guides precise application based on spread characteristics:
- Dysport reaches quarter-size spread – perfect for broader areas

Allergic Response Patterns
Our careful screening process considers each product’s unique profile:
- Xeomin: 0.6 ng clostridial protein per 100-unit vial – lowest protein content
- Dysport: Contains lactose proteins – requires careful screening
Long-term Safety Data
Clinical evidence supports these treatments’ safety record. Patient monitoring shows:

FAQs
Q1. How do Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin differ in their formulations?
Botox and Dysport contain complexing proteins surrounding the toxin, while Xeomin is a “naked” injectable with only the essential neurotoxin. Xeomin has the lowest protein content, which may reduce the risk of developing antibodies over time.
Q2. Which injectable typically shows results the fastest?
Dysport generally has the quickest onset, with effects appearing in 2-3 days. Xeomin follows closely, showing results within 2 days, while Botox usually takes 4-5 days for visible changes.
Q3. How do these injectables compare in terms of spread and treatment areas?
Dysport has the widest spread (quarter-size), making it ideal for larger areas like the forehead. Botox has a moderate spread (penny-size), suitable for precise treatments around the eyes. Xeomin has the most contained spread (dime-size), perfect for detailed work on smaller areas.
Q4. What are the cost considerations for these treatments?
Botox typically costs $10-20 per unit, Xeomin $12-17 per unit, and Dysport $4-6 per unit. However, Dysport requires about three times more units than Botox or Xeomin for similar results, so the overall cost may be comparable. Treatment sessions generally range from $300-600, depending on the product and area treated.
Q5. How long do the effects of these injectables typically last?
All three injectables generally maintain their effects for 3-4 months. However, individual results may vary, and factors such as the treatment area, dosage, and personal metabolism can influence the duration of results.
