Botox, Dysport and Xeomin

Softening lines while preserving natural movement.

Wrinkles and fine lines are a natural part of aging, but neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport and Xeomin offer a subtle, effective way to maintain a refreshed, youthful appearance. They work by gently relaxing targeted facial muscles — softening existing lines while preventing deeper wrinkles from forming over time.

Results begin to appear within a few days, with full results at 14 days, and typically last 3–5 months depending on metabolism, dosage and treatment area. Regular treatments are recommended to maintain a smooth, natural look.

Botox is more versatile than most patients expect. Beyond facial lines, we treat the masseter muscles — often sought by patients with jaw clenching or TMJ-related tension, and to soften a square jaw for a slimmer lower face; the neck's platysmal bands with the so-called Nefertiti neck lift, for a smoother, more lifted neckline; and hyperhidrosis, using Botox to reduce excessive underarm sweating.

Where we use Botox

  • Facial lines: forehead, frown lines, crow's feet, bunny lines, DAOs (downturn of the mouth)
  • Masseter: jaw clenching, TMJ-related tension, facial slimming
  • Nefertiti neck lift: neck bands
  • Hyperhidrosis: excessive sweating in the underarms or hands

Botox, Dysport and Xeomin: common questions

Asked, answered.

How many units of Botox will I need, and how much will it cost?

The number of units needed depends on your facial anatomy, muscle strength, treatment areas, and desired results. At Noir Medical Aesthetics in Carlsbad, we offer Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, with every treatment customized to your individual needs. Because each product has its own dosing guidelines, the number of units and total cost will vary. We prioritize appropriate dosing to achieve natural-looking, long-lasting results.

What's the difference between Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin?

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are FDA-approved neuromodulators that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles to soften fine lines and wrinkles. While all three work similarly, they differ in formulation, dosing, and how individuals respond to treatment. At Noir, we offer all three options and select the most appropriate product based on your anatomy, treatment history, and aesthetic goals.

How long do Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin last?

Results from Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin typically last approximately 3–4 months, although longevity varies depending on individual metabolism, muscle strength, dosage, and treatment area. Most patients schedule maintenance appointments every 3–4 months to maintain consistent results.

Will Botox make my face look frozen or unnatural?

Not necessarily! When thoughtfully administered, Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin can soften expression lines while preserving natural facial movement. At Noir, our approach is conservative and individualized, focusing on enhancing your natural features rather than creating a frozen or overdone appearance.

How long does it take for Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin to start working?

Results typically begin appearing within 2–5 days, although onset varies by product and individual response. Dysport may begin working slightly sooner for some patients, while Botox and Xeomin generally follow a similar timeline. We recommend allowing approximately 14 days to evaluate your final results.
