Fine lines and wrinkles can start to show earlier than expected, especially around the eyes, forehead, and between the eyebrows. If you’re noticing expression lines that linger even when your face is at rest, non-surgical treatments like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin can help you smooth those wrinkles with natural-looking results.
At Nu Vela Laser and Med Spa, we use advanced botulinum toxin injections to restore a refreshed appearance with minimal downtime.
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are injectable treatments from botulinum toxin type A. They work by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles that create lines from repeated movements. All three are FDA-approved and commonly used to treat wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, and between the brows. While they share the same core ingredient, each injectable has unique characteristics that can make it better suited for different areas or treatment goals.
Botox is the most well-known injectable wrinkle treatment, used for decades to reduce the appearance of fine lines and dynamic wrinkles. It blocks nerve signals to prevent muscle contractions that cause creasing, making it especially effective for smoothing forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines.
It’s also used for aesthetic enhancements such as jawline slimming, gummy smile correction, neck bands, and excessive sweating. Results usually start within a few days and last three to four months.

Dysport is a fast-acting botulinum-based injectable known for treating moderate to severe frown lines, particularly in the area between the eyebrows. Its formulation allows for slightly wider diffusion, which can benefit larger muscle areas.
Many patients notice results within two to three days, sooner than with other neurotoxins. If you want a soft, natural result with quicker onset, Dysport injections may be a great option.
Xeomin is a highly purified injectable known as the “naked” neurotoxin because it contains only the active botulinum toxin without added proteins or preservatives. This makes it a good choice for patients who’ve developed resistance to other neuromodulators.
Xeomin injections offer a subtle, refreshed look, and results typically develop within four to seven days. Similar to other injectables, they last about three months and are ideal for patients looking for a clean, minimal approach to wrinkle reduction.
You’re likely a good candidate if you’re in good health, over the age of 18, and want to improve lines caused by facial expressions. These treatments work well for both men and women looking for non-surgical solutions to wrinkles.
If you’re pregnant, nursing, or have certain medical conditions, we will help determine whether this treatment is right for you. During your consultation in Los Angeles or Porter Ranch, we’ll assess your goals and facial structure to create a personalized injectable plan.
Each appointment begins with a consultation to evaluate your facial movement and identify the best areas for treatment. The injection process itself is quick, usually taking less than 15 minutes. A fine needle is used to place small amounts of Botox, Dysport, or Xeomin into targeted muscles.
The sensation is minimal, and there’s no need for anesthesia. After the injections, you can return to your day with no downtime required.
Mild redness or swelling at the injection sites is common, but this usually fades within a few hours. You should avoid rubbing the treated areas and skip intense physical activity for the rest of the day. Depending on the product, results begin to appear within two to five days, with full effects showing within one to two weeks. The results typically last three to four months, and many patients schedule follow-up treatments every season to maintain their look.
“I came in a month ago to get a lipo treatment. The doctor injected a fat dissolving fluid into my problem area (inner thighs) and it was painless. The whole process took about 20min. The doctor was very professional, and he is genuinely caring. Unlike other doctors in the area that try to just get your money, he puts the patient’s needs first. My post op results are amazing. I now have an inner thigh gap, my legs don’t touch anymore and my skin is smooth and there are no ripples what so. There was some swelling for a few days, but my big tip is to soak in a hot bath with Epsom salt. The hot bath or jacuzzi will vasodilate your veins so the circulation will increase thus reducing inflammation and it also will prevent bruising. The Epsom salt is known for soothing aches and pains so I added that for fun. I’m not anyone in the medical field or anything, but the doctor made it very easy for me to understand and what to expect. I love Dr D. He’s the best!”
These anti-wrinkle injections offer a non-surgical way to refresh your appearance by relaxing the muscles that cause deep lines. The treatments are fast, require no downtime, and produce results that look natural. Regular use can also help prevent deeper lines from forming.

Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin use the same active ingredient but differ in their formulation. Dysport works slightly faster and spreads more. Xeomin contains no added proteins, making it ideal for patients who have developed resistance to other neurotoxins. Your provider will help determine which one fits your goals and facial anatomy.
No. When performed by a trained provider, these treatments reduce lines without compromising your natural ability to express yourself. The goal is to smooth wrinkles while keeping your face animated and balanced.
Results typically last between three and four months. Regular treatments can help maintain your look and may train your muscles to contract less over time, which can extend results.
Yes. Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are often combined with dermal fillers, JUVÉDERM, or Restylane to address both fine lines and volume loss in a single visit.
No. You can return to work or daily activities immediately after treatment. Some mild swelling or redness may occur, but it typically resolves quickly.
