NEUROMODULATORS
BOTOX, JEUVEAU, DYSPORT, AND XEOMIN
Aging affects everyone, leading to various skin problems such as fine lines, wrinkles, smile creases, and more. These issues primarily arise from years of facial expressions like smiling, laughing, frowning, and squinting, along with external factors like sun damage, smoking, drug use, and dehydration. In the past, surgical treatments were the only option, but many people hesitated due to the invasiveness and extended recovery times.
Fortunately, significant progress in aesthetic medicine has introduced alternative minimally invasive treatments that target the root cause of these problems – the muscles. One such treatment is the use of neuromodulators, which are injectables administered beneath the skin to reduce muscle contractions. The question remains: can these treatments effectively diminish wrinkles and restore a youthful appearance to the skin? Continue reading to find out more.
WHAT ARE NEUROMODULATORS?
and what are they used for?
Neuromodulators contain an active ingredient known as botulinum toxin. When injected into the muscle beneath the skin, this substance works by relaxing the muscles responsible for constant contractions. As a result, fine lines, wrinkles, and crow's feet are diminished, leaving you with a more youthful and revitalized appearance.
WHAT SETS BOTOX, JEUVEAU, DYSPORT, AND XEOMIN APART,
and how to choose the best option for you?
While BOTOX, Jeuveau, Dysport, and Xeomin share similarities, the key lies in understanding how they function and selecting the most suitable injectable for your skin's needs. These non-surgical treatments effectively reduce fine lines, and wrinkles, and provide smoother skin, with results lasting approximately four months after each session. All of these products are derived from botulinum toxin, but they are produced differently.
Xeomin is referred to as the "naked injectable" as it contains only botulinum toxin A without any added proteins. On the other hand, BOTOX, Jeuveau, and Dysport have botulinum toxin A encased in proteins. Each product possesses distinct characteristics, and the effectiveness may vary based on how your body responds to the injections. Therefore, understanding these differences is essential in making the best choice for your individual needs.

UNIQUE BENEFITS OF EACH NEUROMODULATOR TREATMENT
-
BOTOX, being the most popular non-surgical injectable treatment, is commonly used preventively to combat wrinkle development. Additionally, it has various medical applications, such as treating migraines, certain eye disorders, sweating, and temporomandibular disorder (TMJ).
-
Jeuveau, the latest neuromodulator treatment available in the USA, utilizes an advanced method to encase the toxin in a protein structure. During clinical trials, Jeuveau showed no serious side effects, making it a promising option.
-
Dysport stands out for its ability to diffuse more than BOTOX, Jeuveau, and Xeomin due to its protein structure. This enables fewer injections across larger treatment areas, like the forehead and around the mouth, with its effects lasting for nearly four months.
-
Xeomin's formulation is free from additives, consisting of pure botulinum toxin A. This might be advantageous for those who have developed resistance to additives in other formulas. The absence of proteins in Xeomin allows it to diffuse into tissues differently, making it highly effective in smoothing deeper frown lines between the brows.
Each of these neuromodulators provides distinct advantages. To find the most suitable treatment for your needs and achieve a natural, authentic smoothing effect, we highly recommend scheduling a consultation at Magnolia Med Spa and IV Therapy.

What is IV Therapy?Intravenous therapy, also called IV therapy, is a medical technique that administers fluids, medications, and nutrients directly into a person's vein. The fluid contains vitamins, electrolytes, antioxidants, and medications. Direct IV insertion typically delivers medication faster than oral administration.
-
Who Can Benefit From IV Therapy?IV therapy is a good option for those with a nutritional deficiency or medical conditions that make it challenging to get their daily nutrients through their diet. This treatment can be beneficial for keeping your health in good shape, fixing certain deficiencies, and preventing other health problems. You are likely a good candidate if you have the following conditions: asthma, migraine, muscle spasms, chronic fatigue syndrome, bacterial and viral illnesses, immune disorders, and nutritional deficiencies. You will need a consultation to determine if this treatment will be a good match for your health concerns. You will need to speak with a healthcare provider to discuss your medical history, current medications, and medical concerns.
-
How long do results last?Your IV treatment results will last about two to three weeks. The effects of your treatment are temporary because your body will use all the nutrients and minerals to meet its needs, but once those nutrients are used up, your body will need those resources restored.
-
How often should I get IV Infusions?Most of the time, you'll need to get IV treatments regularly, like once a month, to stay healthy and maintain your desired health goals for most conditions. The frequency of your treatment will depend on the condition you are treating and the specific nutrients used.
