When it comes to achieving smooth, refreshed, and youthful skin, neurotoxin treatments like Botox, Xeomin, and Jeuveau are among the most popular and effective options available. At Charleston Medical Spa, we specialize in providing natural-looking results through customized injectable treatments performed by our experienced nurse injectors and medical team.
What Are Neurotoxins and How Do They Work?
Neurotoxins are FDA-approved injectable treatments that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles (those caused by repetitive expressions like frowning, smiling, or squinting).
When a small amount of neurotoxin is injected into specific muscles, it blocks the nerve signals that cause muscle contraction. This softens existing lines (like crow’s feet, forehead wrinkles, and frown lines) and helps prevent new ones from forming.
Results typically appear within 3–7 days after treatment and can last 3–4 months depending on the individual and product used.
Botox vs. Xeomin vs. Jeuveau: What’s the Difference?
While these three injectables work in a similar way, there are subtle distinctions that may make one a better fit for your needs:
- Botox – The original neurotoxin and the most recognized name in aesthetics. It’s highly versatile and ideal for both wrinkle reduction and advanced techniques like “lip flips” and “masseter slimming.”
- Xeomin – Known as the “naked” toxin, Xeomin is free from accessory proteins. This purity can reduce the risk of antibody resistance (when the body becomes less responsive to treatment) and is often preferred by clients seeking a clean, simple formulation.
- Jeuveau – Nicknamed “#NEWTOX,” Jeuveau is designed specifically for aesthetic use and is often praised for its smooth, natural results and competitive pricing. Many clients find it kicks in quickly and wears off evenly.
Our injectors are skilled in all three products and can help you choose the best option for your goals, budget, and treatment history.
Your First Treatment: What to Expect
During your first appointment, your injector will begin with a thorough consultation to discuss your goals, medical history, and facial anatomy. Small, precise injections are then administered using a fine needle—most clients describe the sensation as quick and easily tolerable.
There’s no true downtime; you can return to your daily routine immediately, though it’s best to avoid strenuous activity, facials, or lying flat for several hours.
You’ll start to see softening of lines within a few days, with full results visible at around 2 weeks. Regular maintenance treatments every 3–4 months help sustain your smooth, youthful look.
