Tips to Make Your Botox®/Xeomin® and Dysport® Treatments Even Better

Botox®/Xeomin® & Dysport® are three of the most popular non-invasive plastic surgery procedures today. Made of botulinum toxin, the three similar products are injected into the skin to temporarily freeze the muscles underneath the skin. This, in turn, causes the overlying wrinkles and lines to smooth out for a younger-looking appearance.

Avoid Rubbing the Treatment Area and Lying Flat for Four Hours

There is no downtime with Botox®/Xeomin®/Dysport® but there will be a few post-op guidelines you will need to follow to ensure your results are successful. For instance, you will need to avoid rubbing the treatment area or lying flat for four hours after injection. This will help the treated facial muscles absorb the product as intended. Massaging the treatment area too soon or lying flat could possibly cause the product to migrate to other areas of the face. This side effect is rare but can lead to subpar results. 

Increase your zinc and vitamin C intake

Zinc has been known to help your treatment work better and hold longer.  You need to take vitamin C to activate the zinc.  Zinc also has some other great properties, propping up your immune system to fight off colds and flu.

Schedule Repeat Treatments

Results with Botox®/Xeomin®/Dysport® are temporary and typically wear off three to four months after injection. The best way to prolong your rejuvenating results is by scheduling repeat treatments.  The more you stimulate your muscles the faster the treatment wears off, therefore if you schedule regular treatments, you get out of the habit of making those movements and your treatment begins to last longer and longer.  If you only have random treatments you will still soften your muscles but you won’t find the lines as soft as with regular sessions.  

Why doesn’t my Botox/Dysport/Xeomin last as long as it used to?

Apart from possibly being low in zinc, some patients choose to have more Botox injected as soon as their results begin to fade while others wait until the body has completely metabolized the product.  If you have it too frequently it will not work as well as you can develop immunity to botulinum toxins with too frequent use.  Too frequent use also means only part of the treatment takes effect and you may be left finding your treatment never properly works.  Your provider can advise you on a treatment schedule.

Pick an Experienced Provider

The most important factor in obtaining successful results from Botox®/Xeomin®/Dysport® is to choose an experienced provider. There are many clinicians who offer Botox®Xeomin®/Dysport® but some lack the appropriate training to provide safe and beautiful results. In addition, an experienced provider is skilled and knowledgeable on the latest techniques that can prolong your results. An experienced provider also knows that no two patients are alike, and takes each patient’s unique specifications into consideration to create natural-looking results.
