De-Stigmatizing “Botox” Injections
What they are, why we use them, and how they can help you attain that youthful, refreshed appearance you desire.
The Misconception
In recent years, the term "Botox" has become synonymous with the world of cosmetic enhancements, often carrying a stigma associated with the excessive use of fillers and the creation of exaggerated, artificial effects. However, at Vida Medical Spa in Barre, Vermont, we believe it's time to de-stigmatize neuromodulator injections and shed light on their true potential when administered by trained professionals.
Neuromodulators, such as brands that we carry like Xeomin and Dysport, have gained a bad reputation due to the media's focus on extreme cases and the misuse of these products. What often goes unnoticed are the countless success stories of individuals who have benefited from the subtle, natural-looking results achieved through the skilled application of neuromodulators.
Highly Effective Anti-Aging Method
When administered by experienced, trained professionals, neuromodulators are highly effective at reducing the appearance of lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging. These treatments work by targeting specific facial muscles, temporarily relaxing them and smoothing out the overlying skin. The result is a more youthful, refreshed appearance that does not have to compromise your natural expressions.
It's crucial to understand that neuromodulators, when used correctly, are not intended to drastically alter your appearance or freeze your face into an unnatural state. Instead, they are designed to enhance your natural beauty by softening lines and wrinkles, allowing you to look like a more rested and rejuvenated version of yourself.

7 Unique Facts About Neuromodulator Procedures:
Neuromodulators are not just for wrinkles; they can also be used to treat migraines, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms.
The effects of neuromodulators are temporary and typically last 3-6 months.
The procedure is minimally invasive and requires no downtime, allowing patients to resume normal activities immediately.
The most common areas treated with neuromodulators are the forehead, glabella (between the eyebrows), and crow's feet.
The effects of neuromodulators are visible within 3-7 days after the procedure.
Neuromodulators are one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatments worldwide.
Men are increasingly turning to neuromodulators to achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
Botox, Xeomin, and Dysport – What’s the Difference?
While we will be discussing the three leading brands, at Vida Medical Spa we offer two brands of neuromodulators: Xeomin and Dysport. While all three products contain botulinum toxin type A, there are some differences between them.
Botox
Botox is the most well-known and widely used neuromodulator. It has been FDA-approved for cosmetic use since 2002 and has a long history of safety and efficacy. Botox is known for its ability to smooth out wrinkles and fine lines, particularly in the upper face region.
Xeomin
Xeomin is a newer neuromodulator that has been gaining popularity in recent years. It is often referred to as a "naked" neuromodulator because it does not contain any additives or preservatives. This means that there is a lower risk of developing antibodies against the product, which can sometimes occur with repeated use of other neuromodulators. Xeomin is just as effective as Botox in treating wrinkles and fine lines.
Dysport
Dysport is another popular neuromodulator that has been shown to be highly effective in treating wrinkles and fine lines. It has a slightly different formulation than Botox and Xeomin, which some patients find to be more effective for their specific needs. Dysport tends to diffuse more easily than Botox, making it a good choice for treating larger areas like the forehead.
One of the main differences between these three neuromodulators is the dosing units. While they all contain botulinum toxin type A, the units used to measure each product are different. This means that the number of units required to achieve the desired result may vary depending on the product used.
