Botox, Jeuveau & Dysport in Apple Valley, MN

Most clients see results last about 3 to 4 months. A lip flip wears off sooner, usually in 6 to 8 weeks. Regular treatments help keep lines soft.

Most people start to notice a difference in 3 to 5 days, with full results at about 14 days.

It depends on the area, your muscle strength and your goals. Your injector recommends a dose at your consultation, and you can also choose per-area pricing so you know the cost upfront.

Yes. Neurotoxins work on the muscle, not on skin pigment, so they are used on every skin tone. Your injector reviews your medical history and goals at your consultation.

Botox is $14 per unit, and Dysport and Jeuveau are both $13 per unit at Aesthetic Beauty Lab. Treatments are also available priced per area for predictable pricing. One thing to know when comparing: Dysport units are not equivalent to Botox units, and more Dysport units are generally needed for the same effect, so a lower per-unit price does not mean a lower total. Compare the total quoted price, which we give you at consultation before anything is injected.

Yes, for excessive underarm sweating. Botox has been FDA-approved for severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis since 2004, and that is the product we use for this indication. Dysport is not FDA-approved for hyperhidrosis, so we do not present it as an approved option for sweating. Pricing is per unit at our standard rates, and treating both underarms typically takes around 100 units of Botox. Results begin in 2 to 4 days, reach full effect at about 2 weeks, and typically last about 3 to 4 months.

We will not treat you if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a known allergy to any botulinum toxin product or its components including human albumin, have a neuromuscular disorder such as myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome or ALS, or have an infection or active skin condition at the injection sites. Dysport specifically contains cow's milk protein and is not used in anyone with that allergy. Tell your injector about all medications, particularly aminoglycoside antibiotics and blood thinners, and about any previous reaction to a neurotoxin treatment.

Common and temporary effects include bruising, swelling, small bumps that settle within an hour, redness or tenderness at injection sites, and headache in the first days. Less commonly a brow or eyelid can droop, or the result can be asymmetric; this is temporary and resolves as the product wears off, though that can take several weeks. All botulinum toxin products carry an FDA boxed warning about distant spread of toxin effect: rarely, effects can spread beyond the injection site hours to weeks afterward and cause muscle weakness or difficulty swallowing or breathing. Seek immediate medical attention for any difficulty swallowing, speaking or breathing, and contact us promptly about drooping or double vision.

Pause anything that thins your blood for 24 to 48 hours beforehand where it is safe to do so, including NSAIDs such as ibuprofen and naproxen, aspirin, vitamin E, fish oil and St. John’s wort, plus alcohol. Do not stop a prescribed anticoagulant without speaking to the prescriber first. If you have a wedding, photo session or vacation coming up, book your first appointment at least four weeks out, which leaves room for a two-week review if anything needs fine-tuning.

Three rules for the first 24 hours. Keep your head upright: no lying flat, no yoga inversions, no bending head-down for at least 3 hours. Hands off the treated areas: no rubbing, massaging or facials. Skip the gym, sauna and hot yoga. Small pink dots or mild puffiness at the injection points are normal and usually settle within a few hours.

All three are botulinum toxin type A products that relax facial muscles to soften dynamic lines. Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) has the longest track record and the widest set of FDA approvals. Jeuveau (prabotulinumtoxinA) was developed specifically for cosmetic use. Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) tends to diffuse a little more, which some injectors prefer for broader areas such as the forehead, and it is dosed differently, so its units are not interchangeable with Botox units. Your injector will recommend a fit at consultation.

For cosmetic use these products are FDA-approved for glabellar (frown) lines, lateral canthal lines (crow’s feet) and forehead lines, and Botox is separately approved for severe primary axillary hyperhidrosis. Other uses on this page (bunny lines, lip flip, gummy smile, chin dimpling, DAO, jawline, masseter slimming for TMJ or facial slimming, and platysmal bands) are off-label. Off-label use by a qualified provider is legal and standard in aesthetic practice, and these are well-established techniques, but you should know which is which before you consent.
