What Are Neurotoxin Treatments?

At Eastside Eye Candy, we offer BOTOX®, XEOMIN®, and Dysport®—3 of the most trusted and effective neurotoxins available. These non-surgical injectable treatments temporarily relax facial muscles using botulinum toxin, a purified protein that reduces muscle activity responsible for fine lines and wrinkles. By blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, neurotoxins smooth existing wrinkles and help prevent new ones from forming.

As we age, collagen production decreases, sun exposure accelerates skin damage, and repeated muscle contractions deepen facial lines. Neuromodulator injections effectively address these concerns, offering both preventative and corrective anti-aging benefits.
At Eastside Eye Candy, our expert injectors take a personalized approach to ensure natural, refreshed results that enhance your beauty without the overdone or “frozen” look. We offer 3 leading brands, each with unique benefits.

Our Neurotoxins

The most well-known and widely used neuromodulator, BOTOX® is FDA-approved to treat moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. It typically takes 3-5 days for results to appear, with full effects in 10-14 days, lasting 3-4 months. BOTOX® is often preferred for precise, targeted wrinkle reduction in smaller areas.

Known for its fast-acting and natural-looking results, Dysport® works well for larger treatment areas, such as the forehead, due to its ability to spread slightly more than BOTOX®. Results may appear in as little as 2-3 days, with effects lasting up to 5 months. Dysport® is a popular choice for patients looking for a soft, natural expression.

Often called the "naked injectable," XEOMIN® is a purified form of botulinum toxin that does not contain additional proteins. This unique formulation may reduce the risk of developing resistance to the treatment over time. XEOMIN® results appear in 3-5 days and can last up to 6 months, making it a great option for those looking for a longer-lasting, low-maintenance treatment.

What to Expect Before, During, and After Dermal Filler Treatment

At Eastside Eye Candy, we prioritize your comfort, safety, and natural-looking results. Whether you’re new to neuromodulators or a returning patient, here’s a step-by-step guide on what to expect at every stage of your treatment.

Skip alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment to help prevent swelling or bruising.
Avoid blood-thinning medications & supplements (aspirin, ibuprofen, Vitamin E, fish oil) for 48-72 hours before treatment to minimize bruising. (Consult your doctor if you take prescribed blood thinners.)
Stay hydrated and eat a light meal before your session to prevent dizziness.
Avoid scheduling treatment if you have an active skin infection, cold sore, or rash in the treatment area.
Arrive with a clean face – avoid makeup, lotions, or skincare products on the day of treatment.

Consultation & Facial Assessment

Your injector will assess your facial expressions and muscle movement, discuss your goals, and determine the best injection sites.

Cleansing & Preparation

The treatment area is cleansed, and a topical numbing cream may be applied if needed.

Precision Injections

Using a fine needle, small amounts of BOTOX®, XEOMIN®, or Dysport® are strategically injected into targeted muscles to smooth wrinkles while maintaining natural movement.

Final Check & Post-Treatment Instructions

Your injector will review your treatment and provide aftercare guidance.
One of the best parts of neuromodulator injections is the minimal downtime. However, following these aftercare steps ensures the best possible results:

First 4-6 Hours

Stay upright – avoid lying down to prevent the product from migrating.
Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas to allow the neuromodulator to settle properly.
Limit excessive facial expressions (like squinting or frowning) for the first few hours to help the product integrate smoothly.

First 24 Hours

Avoid alcohol, strenuous exercise, and excessive heat exposure (saunas, hot tubs, tanning beds) to prevent swelling or irritation.
Refrain from applying makeup on treated areas to reduce the risk of infection.
Use a gentle cleanser and avoid harsh skincare treatments like exfoliants or retinol.

First Week

Do not undergo facials, chemical peels, or laser treatments for at least 2 weeks post-injection.
Full results develop within 10-14 days, with a follow-up appointment available to ensure the best outcome.

The cost of neuromodulator treatments varies based on factors such as the brand used, the number of units needed, and the treatment areas addressed. Pricing is tailored to each individual’s needs to achieve optimal results.
The best way to determine the exact cost of your treatment is through a consultation. At Eastside Eye Candy, our expert injectors evaluate your facial anatomy, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a customized treatment plan that aligns with your needs.
After our expert injectors assess your unique facial movements and understand your aesthetic goals, the actual injection process can take 10-15 minutes, depending on the injection sites and areas being treated.

At Eastside Eye Candy, we prioritize natural and personalized results, meaning we take a conservative approach to our process and add more injections as needed during your 2-week follow-up visit. This approach allows our injectors to perfect your individual goals and maintain natural-looking results.

No, neuromodulator injections are not generally considered painful. By using the smallest needle available on the market, most patients receiving neuromodulator injections experience little to no discomfort and liken the sensation to a pinching feeling that lasts a few seconds. Additionally, these small needles help minimize any chance of bruising. However, your injector can apply topical numbing cream to help reduce any discomfort or pain.
Most neuromodulator treatment side effects are mild and temporary and resolve on their own. Common side effects include pain, bruising, redness, or swelling at the injection sites, as well as bleeding, irritation, itching, and headaches. Your injector can apply topical numbing cream to help reduce pain or discomfort.

If your skin goals are to treat moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines, BOTOX® is FDA-approved to treat these areas. BOTOX® is typically more potent and better suited for small areas. Results typically appear within 1 or 2 days, with full results showing up in just 30 days, and can last up to 4 months. 

 

Dysport®, another neuromodulator injection, is fast-acting—delivering noticeable results within 24 hours of treatment that can last up to 5 months. Dysport® is often used to treat large areas such as the forehead. 

 

XEOMIN®, nicknamed the “naked injectable,” is a purified form of botulinum toxin, meaning it doesn’t contain any additives. Results can appear within 3 to 5 days but last up to 6 months, making it an ideal injection for patients looking for a natural approach with minimal maintenance. 


BOTOX®, Dysport®, and XEOMIN® are all effective brands of neuromodulators that work toward the same goal of reducing and smoothing out wrinkles. However, it’s important to note that brands should not be used interchangeably, and patients should stick to one brand. Eastside Eye Candy injectors can help determine which brand is right for your skin and your aesthetic goals.

Yes, neuromodulators are safe to combine with other cosmetic treatments for a holistic and rejuvenated appearance. Whether you’re looking to restore volume with dermal fillers or improve overall skin texture with microneedling, combining neuromodulators with other treatments at Eastside Eye Candy is ideal for targeting multiple skin concerns.
If fine lines and wrinkles keep you up at night, the skin-smoothing and preventative effects of neuromodulators offer the ideal skin rejuvenation treatment for natural-looking skin.
