Anti-wrinkle Treatments

Dysport, Botox, and Xeomin are all FDA-approved botulinum toxin treatments designed to reduce wrinkles, but each differs in formulation and effectiveness. Botox, the most widely known, contains botulinum toxin A with added proteins. While reliable, it often takes 3-5 days to show results, with full effects in 10-14 days. Dysport, another option, has a unique protein structure that allows it to spread more broadly. Although it may act slightly faster, this wider diffusion can sometimes reduce precision.

Xeomin, however, is a purer choice and often preferred by clients seeking cleaner, more targeted results. Containing only botulinum toxin A without unnecessary proteins, Xeomin lowers the risk of antibody resistance, making it ideal for those who want long-term effectiveness. Results appear within 3-5 days, comparable to Botox but with added benefits for sensitive clients.

This is why, at Jay’s Medispa, we exclusively use Xeomin. Its purity, precision, and consistent results align with our commitment to quality and client satisfaction.

No, Xeomin is designed to provide natural, subtle results by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles while leaving the rest of your facial expressions intact. The key is precise dosing and targeted injection techniques, which ensure you look refreshed without appearing stiff or overly treated.

A "frozen" look usually happens when too much product is used or it’s injected incorrectly. Our experienced practitioners focus on achieving a balanced, natural appearance by tailoring each treatment to your unique facial structure and goals. If you’re concerned about maintaining natural expressions, we’ll work with you during your consultation to ensure the results align with your preferences.

In our free consultations, we talk through any existing or past conditions where it may not be right to get injectable cosmetic procedures done.

Here are a few common reasons:

• Infection or inflammation in the area where the injection would be administered
• Neuromuscular disorders that affect breathing, such as myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding
• Recent surgery in the area where the injection would be administered
• Current use of muscle relaxants, antibiotics or blood thinners, which can increase the risk of bleeding or bruising
• Chronic skin conditions or scarring, as the injection could make these conditions worse
• History of Bell's palsy or other facial nerve disorders, as the treatment could worsen the condition.

The amount of Xeomin required varies depending on the treatment area, your individual goals, and the severity of the lines or wrinkles being addressed. For example, smaller areas like crow’s feet or frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) may require fewer units, while larger areas such as the forehead or jawline may need more.

During your consultation, our experienced practitioners will assess your facial anatomy, skin condition, and muscle activity to determine the precise dosage tailored to your needs. The goal is to achieve natural-looking results that enhance your features without compromising facial expressions. Additionally, your practitioner will create a treatment plan that aligns with your aesthetic goals and can adjust the dosage in follow-up sessions based on how your muscles respond.

If you have questions about dosage or want to explore combination treatments for enhanced results, feel free to ask during your consultation.

The effects of Xeomin typically last around 3-4 months, but this can vary depending on individual factors such as your metabolism, the area treated, and the strength of your facial muscles. Some clients may notice results lasting slightly longer, while others may require touch-ups closer to the 3-month mark. Over time, with consistent treatments, many clients find that their results tend to last longer as the targeted muscles become more trained to relax.

It’s important to note that the longevity of Xeomin also depends on your lifestyle and skincare routine. Factors such as frequent sun exposure, high levels of stress, or intense physical activity can impact the duration of results. At Jay’s Medispa, we recommend scheduling regular maintenance appointments to ensure your results remain consistent and aligned with your aesthetic goals.
