This What you should know before getting Botox in Brisbane.

So, you want to do something for yourself. Something small but significant. You come across an article or magazine full of people with wrinkle-free faces to die for, and you think, “Maybe I should get rid of a few wrinkles.” Light bulb moment; Botox.

What is Botox? Or Xeomin, or Dysport for that matter?

Botox is a popular injectable neurotoxin made from a bacterium called clostridium botulinum.

Botox works by temporarily paralyzing facial muscles, resulting in a wrinkle-free face, improving your appearance. Enticing, if you ignore the paralyzing part.

Let’s talk about money.

Okay, you have made up your mind to get a botox injection but have no clue about the costs.

The cost of botulinum injections depends on the number of units needed and the brand.

The number of units depends on the target area of injection and also the brand.

Apart from Botox, Xeomin and Dysport are other popular brands of botulinum neurotoxin used in most Brisbane cosmetic clinics.

What is the difference between Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, and how do you choose the right brand for you?

I will let you decide that for yourself, my role is just to shine the light on how they differ.


Botox

Botox is the most popular brand of botulinum toxin.

It is used to treat crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines.

According to Realself, Botox can be used off-label to smooth lip lines, bunny lines on the nose, chin, and neck bands.

Botox can also be used for facial slimming by relaxing muscles of the jaw.

Botox contains accessory proteins, making it a heavier botulinum toxin than Xeomin.

How much does it cost?
A single unit of botox costs $10-$20 around Brisbane. • For glabellar lines, you need about 15-20 units. • Crow’s feet require 15-20 units. • Horizontal lines of the forehead usually require about ten units.
• Chin needs 2-5 units.
• The jaw area needs 15-50 units per side.
• Neckbands need around 25-50 units.
How soon do you see results, and how long do they last?

Several doctors on Realself say that it takes a day or two to see some results and up to two weeks to see the full impact of botox injections.

Botox injections last for up to six months.


Xeomin

Xeomin is often referred to as a pure form of botulinum toxin because it does not contain accessory proteins found in Botox and Dysport. Xeomin was designed in such a way that it doesn’t need protein additives to be injected.

Is that good or bad?

Dr.James Gordon, a New York-based oculoplastic surgeon, says that he considers this feature of Xeomin a plus because it is less likely to cause an immune reaction.

Dr. Mellissa Chiang argues that there is no difference because all the protein detaches from Botox within one minute of injection.

How much does it cost?

Each unit of Xeomin costs between $10 and $15 in Brisbane.
• The horizontal lines on your forehead need 20-40 units.
• Crow’s feet around the eyes need 5-20 units.
• Frown lines between the eyebrows need 15-30 units.

How soon do results show, and how long do they last?

According to Merz, Xeomin’s manufacturer, it takes 3 to 4 days to start seeing results. It may take up to a month to see the full effect of Xeomin.

Results of Xeomin injections last between 3 to 4 months.
Dysport

Dysport and Botox are similar because they both contain added proteins making them heavier than Xeomin.

The FDA has approved Dysport to treat glabellar lines, but it used to smooth other wrinkles. How much does it cost?

A unit of Dysport is $3.5-$6.

It seems cheaper than both Botox and Xeomin, but here is the catch, you will need almost double the number of units of Dysport to get results.
• Injection between the eyes needs up to 50 units.
• Crow’s Feet injection also needs up to 60 units.
• Smoothening of the horizontal lines of the forehead requires up to 30 units.

When do results show after Dysport injections and how long does it last?

According to doctors, it can take 2-14 days for results to show. This depends on the number of units used and the site injected.

Dr. Weiner says that the effects of Dysport wear off gradually over four to six months.


What to expect after botulinum injections

A headache, slight bruising, or some tenderness around the area is expected. Your doctor may give you an ice pack to apply before leaving the office and prescribe some painkillers such as aspirin or Tylenol.

Although these injections have close to a non-existent downtime, there are several things to do after injections;

Avoid rubbing or massaging the injection area for a few hours to prevent the toxin from spreading to other areas. You may wake up with a paralyzed cheek.

Avoid exercise or any strenuous activities that may cause excess heat. This helps reduce the risk of diffusion to other areas. Skipping one day of a workout is not a big deal, right?

Avoid lying down for 90 minutes. Dr.Mary E. Hurley says that the toxins are bound to the muscle for 90 minutes after injections. Lying down may cause diffusion to other areas.

Let’s look at the pros and cons of botulinum toxin injections.

What are the pros?

According to Realself, most botulinum toxins are suitable for all skin tones and types. There is no downtime. You can get the injection and go about your day.

Results are temporary, so if you are not thrilled about the outcome, you can wait for four-six months for it to fade away. Does this get any better?

Botulinum toxins can be used for smoothing wrinkles that are yet to be formed.

The treatments are quick and generally painless. It takes an average of 20 minutes, including consultation, to get a wrinkle-free face.

Let’s flip the coin


The cons of botulinum toxins are;

The results are temporary; you will have to go back for injections every four to six months, depending on the brand.

Like many cosmetic injections, if you visit an inexperienced injector to save a few dollars, you might end up with a crooked smile, uneven eyebrows, and droopy eyebrows. So don’t skimp when it comes to your face or any other part of your body.

Also, using an injector who is not well experienced or who uses a type of botulinum toxin that has not been approved might lead to catastrophic complications.

There are no studies on the effects of breastfeeding and pregnancy. Therefore you shouldn’t get the injection even if you’re planning to get pregnant.

Remember Everybody is different. People have different muscle strengths, which means the number of units for each person is unique. If you stop or skip injections, your muscles will go back to normal after the toxin fades. Contrary to what people say, stopping or skipping injections does not make you old. Make sure a licensed individual is treating you.
