About This Treatment

Neurotoxin injections are the most popular non-surgical aesthetic treatment in the United States, with millions of procedures performed each year. At Lodi MedSpa, we offer all three FDA-approved neurotoxin brands — Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin — so your provider can select the ideal product for your unique facial anatomy and aesthetic goals. Each brand contains botulinum toxin type A, which works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, allowing the overlying skin to relax and smooth out.

The treatment areas most commonly addressed with neurotoxins include horizontal forehead lines, vertical frown lines between the eyebrows (the glabellar complex), crow's feet at the outer corners of the eyes, bunny lines on the nose, lip flip (relaxing the upper lip to show a bit more lip without filler), and masseter reduction for jawline slimming. Advanced applications include treating chin dimpling, neck bands (platysma), and even excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).

At Lodi MedSpa, we take a conservative, natural-looking approach to neurotoxin injections. Our goal is never to freeze your face or eliminate expression — instead, we aim to soften lines while preserving your natural movement and expressions. We carefully assess your facial anatomy, muscle strength, and desired outcome before recommending the appropriate product and dosage. Most patients describe the injections as a quick pinch, and the entire treatment takes just 15-30 minutes with no downtime.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin?
All three are botulinum toxin type A and work by temporarily relaxing muscles. Botox is the most well-known brand, Dysport tends to spread slightly more and may kick in faster (2-3 days vs 3-7), and Xeomin is a 'naked' neurotoxin with no accessory proteins, which may reduce the chance of developing resistance over time. Your provider will recommend the best option based on your anatomy and goals.
How many units of Botox will I need?
The number of units varies by treatment area and individual anatomy. Common ranges are 10-30 units for forehead lines, 20-25 units for frown lines, and 12-24 units for crow's feet. During your consultation, your provider will assess your facial muscles and recommend the appropriate dosage for natural-looking results.
Does Botox hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as a tiny pinch. The needles used are extremely fine, and the injections are quick. We can apply a topical numbing cream before treatment if you are concerned about discomfort. The entire procedure typically takes 15-30 minutes.
Can I get Botox during my lunch break?
Absolutely. Neurotoxin injections are one of the fastest aesthetic treatments available. The actual injection process takes about 10-15 minutes, with no downtime afterward. You can return to work, errands, or social activities immediately. We just recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
How often do I need to repeat Botox treatments?
Most patients return every 3-4 months to maintain results. Over time, with consistent treatments, some patients find they can extend the interval between sessions as the muscles gradually weaken and require less product to achieve the same effect.
