Botox to Treat Fine Lines

An appointment for Botox or Xeomin at New Image Laser Skin Center can last as little as 15 minutes. Before your treatment, we will take pictures so that when you return for your follow-up, together with Dr. Madsen and Roxy, the results can be assessed.

Neuromodulators, like Botox and Xeomin, and facial fillers both address lines and wrinkles, but they do it in different ways.

Botox or Xeomin is best used for fine lines and lines that are only seen when your facial muscles move (think about the lines on your forehead when you raise your eyebrows). Botox temporarily causes muscles to be relaxed so they can’t move, or they move much less. This minimizes some stagnant lines and with regular treatment, prevents lines from deepening. Botox can be injected in many areas of the face and results typically last 3 months.

Facial fillers are used when lines and wrinkles are more prominent and for more significant volume loss (or to make those lips luscious and plump!). When injected, filler provides instant volume and fullness to the area. The results of your filler treatment will last between 6 months and 2 years depending on the type of filler used.

During your consultation, Dr. Madsen and Roxy will determine the amount of Botox or Xeomin you need to achieve your desired result. The amount can vary widely between clients depending on the severity of the wrinkles and your desired result.

Dr. Madsen is a conservative injector with the goal of natural-looking results. Because if this, first-time clients may not experience full correction to the treated area. We follow up with our clients to check in on their results and if more Botox or Xeomin is needed you can schedule an appointment to receive more units.

Botox needles are very small and the treatment is done quickly. Many clients say that it feels similar to a tiny pinprick, if they feel anything at all.

Botox and Xeomin are purified proteins that cause a muscle to be relaxed. It interferes with the nerve messengers that tell facial muscles to move. After injected, within 3-14 days, the muscles will be relaxed to prevent them from making a line or crease in the treated area.

Results from a Botox or Xeomin treatments are usually noticed between 3 and 5 days. However, a few clients may not see the full effect for up to two weeks.

Results typically peek between 6 and 10 weeks. We recommend to maintain results, treatment is received every 3 months.
