What clients ask us in the treatment room
Real questions from our appointments, lightly edited. The answers follow our clinical protocol.
- “What's the difference between skin Botox and muscle Botox?”
- Same product, different depth. Regular Xeomin is placed in the muscle to relax movement. Skin botox is diluted and placed very shallowly across the skin in many small injections. It works on pores, oil and texture.
- “Does it usually help with the pores?”
- Pores, oil and texture are what skin botox is for. The result is subtle.
- “If it's skin tox and injected superficially, will it impact my movement?”
- It is placed in the skin, not the muscle. It works on the skin and does not freeze the muscles.
- “How long does skin tox last?”
- Typically 2 to 3 months. Skin botox is more diluted than regular Xeomin, so it tends to wear off sooner.
- “How many units do you use for skin tox?”
- Full face is 50 units, which is $300. Neck is 30 units, which is $180.
- “It's going to make my skin look more like glass skin, right?”
- Expect a subtle change in pores, oil and texture rather than a dramatic one. We would rather set that expectation before your treatment than after.
