Botox®/Dysport®/DAXXI Injectables
What if there was a treatment that would smooth fine wrinkles and prevent new ones from appearing? There is! Kalon Medical Spa offers Botox, Dysport, and DAXXI to drastically smooth smile lines, “crow’s feet,” or a “furrowed” brow. Because neuromodulators work below the skin, it can be used in conjunction with our surface-level skin care products and treatments. Your skin will look refreshed and relaxed. You’ll notice the difference within two weeks, and you’ll be smiling—without wrinkles—for months!

Injectables FAQs
What areas do injectables treat?
Injectables like Botox, Dysport, and DAXXI are used to soften and prevent moderate to severe facial wrinkles such as “furrowed brow,” “crow’s feet,” “forehead lines,” or fine wrinkles in the upper lip.
How do neuromodulators work?
When injected into small facial muscle groups, neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, and DAXXI block communication between nerves and muscles and prevent muscles from making repeated movements, such as frowning or squinting. Without the underlying muscle movement, your skin can relax, and wrinkles will disappear. Over several months, your body’s amazing ability to metabolize will reestablish communication. The muscles will begin to move the skin as before, and you’ll be ready for another treatment.
What does treatment feel like?
Botox, Dysport, and DAXXI are administered by your provider through a series of injections to the areas you want to treat. Your provider may use an “energy bar” that has a small vibration to distract your nerves for comfort during the procedure. You will feel the injection, and you may have a slight burning sensation in the treatment area during the procedure.
What can I expect after the procedure?
You may experience redness at the injection site that will dissipate in 30 minutes. Applying a cold compress to the injection after the procedure will lessen these effects.
How long before I see results?
Depending on the severity of the wrinkle and the size of the muscle group, you may notice immediate results as your facial muscles relax. Most patients notice the greatest changes 14 days after treatment. Results from Botox and Dysport typically last 3 to 4 months and results from DAXXI can last from 6 to 9 months.
Will I have to miss work?
You can return to your normal activities right away, though you will have redness for 30 minutes after the procedure. We do recommend avoiding any workouts the evening of your appointment.
Which neuromodulator should I choose?
Botox, Dysport, and DAXXI are all effective and have only slightly different indications. During your consultation, your provider can help you decide which is best for you based on your preferences, treatment area, and timeline.
