Botox®, Dysport®, Jeuveau® & Xeomin®
What is BOTOX®?
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a trusted treatment for softening lines caused by repeated facial expressions. By gently relaxing the muscles that create frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead creases, it helps smooth the skin and restore a refreshed, more youthful look. Results appear gradually and look natural, never frozen, allowing you to look like you—just more rested.
Dr. Nabatian takes a highly personalized approach to every treatment. With advanced training in facial anatomy and extensive experience with neuromodulators, we tailor each injection pattern to your unique features, ensuring subtle, balanced, and beautiful results.
What is Dysport®?
Dysport® is a trusted neuromodulator used to soften lines caused by repeated facial movement, particularly the vertical frown lines between the eyebrows. It is a botulinum toxin type A formulation designed to spread smoothly within the muscle, making it an excellent option for treating slightly larger areas or creating soft, natural movement.
Dysport® is FDA‑approved to temporarily improve moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults. Many patients appreciate its quick onset and subtle, blended look, and it can be a great alternative for those who feel they “hold tension” strongly in the brow area.
What Is Jeuveau®?
Jeuveau® is a modern neuromodulator formulated specifically for aesthetic use. Created with Evolus’ Hi‑Pure™ technology, it is a highly refined botulinum toxin type A designed to deliver smooth, natural‑looking results. Jeuveau® is FDA‑approved to temporarily improve moderate to severe glabellar lines—the vertical “11s” between the eyebrows.
How Do Wrinkle Relaxers Work?
BOTOX® Cosmetic, Jeuveau®, and Dysport® work by temporarily reducing muscle activity in targeted areas. When a small amount of product is injected into specific facial muscles, it blocks the release of acetylcholine—the chemical signal that tells muscles to contract. As the muscle relaxes, the overlying skin becomes smoother, softening visible lines and preventing them from deepening over time.
While widely known for their cosmetic benefits, neuromodulators also have important medical uses. They can be used to help manage conditions such as:
Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
Teeth clenching and grinding (bruxism)
Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) tension
Common Treatment Areas
Neuromodulators like BOTOX®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau® can be used to soften expression lines, refine facial contours, and address certain medical concerns. Popular treatment areas include:
UPPER FACE
Forehead lines – smooth horizontal lines from raising the brows
Frown lines (11s) – soften the vertical lines between the eyebrows
Crow’s feet – reduce fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes
Bunny lines – smooth wrinkles that appear along the sides of the nose
MID & LOWER FACE
Upper lip wrinkles – minimize vertical lip lines and soften a “pursed” look
Lip flip – relax the upper lip to enhance shape and show more pink lip
Chin dimpling – smooth an “orange peel” or textured chin
Jawline tightening – refine jawline definition and reduce downward pull
Jaw slimming / TMJ relief – relax overactive masseter muscles to ease clenching and create a slimmer facial contour
Under‑eye wrinkles – soften creasing that appears when smiling
Gummy smile – relax the elevator muscles to reduce gum show and create a softer, balanced smile
Tip of the nose – gently lift and refine the nasal tip for a more defined, elegant profile
NECK & BODY
Neck bands and creases – improve vertical platysmal bands and horizontal lines
Hyperhidrosis – reduce excessive sweating in areas such as the underarms, hands, or feet
Personalized Treatment Plans
Every wrinkle relaxer treatment begins with a thoughtful, individualized approach. Whether you’re hoping to soften crow’s feet, smooth forehead lines, or relax the “11s” between your brows, neuromodulators like BOTOX®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau® can help you achieve a refreshed, natural look.
During your consultation, Dr. Nabatian evaluates your facial anatomy, expression patterns, and aesthetic goals to design a treatment plan tailored specifically to you. This personalized approach ensures results that enhance your features without altering your natural expression.
What to Expect at Your Botox Appointment in NYC
Your injectable visit is designed to be efficient, comfortable, and highly customized. Here’s a step‑by‑step overview of the process:
1. Cosmetic Consultation
Dr. Nabatian will review your medical history, previous treatments, and any concerns you’d like to address. Together, you’ll discuss your goals, expected results, and how neuromodulators work. This is also when aftercare and longevity are reviewed so you know exactly what to expect.
2. Skin Preparation
The treatment area is gently cleansed to remove makeup, sunscreen, or oils. Dr. Nabatian will assess your facial movement and mark precise injection points based on your anatomy and desired outcome.
3. Precise Injections
Using an ultrafine needle, small amounts of BOTOX®, Dysport®, or Jeuveau® are placed into targeted muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch, and the entire procedure typically takes just a few minutes.
4. Immediate Post-Treatment Care
You may choose to ice briefly in the office for comfort. After treatment, we recommend:
Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for several hours
Avoid lying down for four hours
Avoid strenuous exercise for four hour
A follow‑up visit is scheduled two weeks after treatment to evaluate your results and perform any touch‑ups if desired.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
BOTOX® Cosmetic is a purified neuromodulator used to soften expression lines and create a smoother, more refreshed appearance. When injected into specific facial muscles, it temporarily reduces the muscle activity that causes wrinkles to form—particularly in areas like the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes.
By relaxing these overactive muscles, BOTOX® helps prevent creasing in the skin, allowing fine lines and deeper wrinkles to soften over time. The result is a natural‑looking, rejuvenated appearance without altering your facial expression.
-
Jeuveau® is a modern botulinum toxin type A injectable created exclusively for aesthetic use. Developed by Evolus, it’s produced using the company’s proprietary Hi‑Pure™ technology, resulting in a highly refined 900 kDa formulation designed to deliver smooth, natural‑looking results.
Jeuveau® is FDA‑approved to temporarily improve moderate to severe frown lines—the vertical glabellar lines that form between the eyebrows. By relaxing the underlying muscles responsible for these expressions, Jeuveau® helps soften creases and create a refreshed, youthful appearance.
-
Dysport® is a trusted neuromodulator used to soften moderate to severe frown lines by relaxing the underlying facial muscles that create wrinkles. It is a botulinum toxin type A formulation known for its ability to diffuse smoothly within the muscle, making it an excellent choice for treating slightly larger areas or achieving a soft, blended look.
Dysport® temporarily reduces muscle activity in targeted areas—most commonly the glabella (“11s”)—allowing the skin to appear smoother and more relaxed. Many patients appreciate its quick onset and natural‑feeling results.
-
BOTOX®, Jeuveau®, and Dysport® work by gently relaxing the facial muscles that create expression lines. When a small amount of the product is injected into targeted muscles, it temporarily blocks the chemical signals that tell those muscles to contract.
As the muscle activity softens, the overlying skin begins to smooth out, reducing the appearance of fine lines and deeper wrinkles. This process helps create a refreshed, natural‑looking result while still allowing you to maintain normal facial expression.
-
Treatments with BOTOX®, Dysport®, and Jeuveau® require little to no downtime, making them easy to fit into even the busiest schedule. Most patients return to work, errands, or social plans immediately after their appointment.
To support the best possible results, we recommend a few simple post‑treatment guidelines:
Avoid strenuous exercise for four hours
Avoid lying down for four hours
Avoid alcohol for four hours
Refrain from touching or massaging the treated areas
These precautions help the product settle properly and minimize the risk of swelling or bruising, ensuring a smooth, natural‑looking outcome.
-
Most patients begin to notice early softening within the first 3–5 days after treatment. The full effect develops gradually, with the most refined, smooth results becoming visible around 10–14 days. As the treated muscles relax, the skin appears smoother, more refreshed, and less creased, giving you a naturally rejuvenated look.
-
Most patients enjoy smoother, refreshed results for about 3–6 months after treatment. As the neuromodulator gradually wears off and muscle activity returns, expression lines may slowly reappear. At that point, a maintenance treatment can help preserve your results.
With consistent treatments over time, many patients notice that their lines appear softer and less pronounced even as the product wears off. This is because the targeted muscles become trained to relax, helping maintain a naturally smooth, youthful look.
