BOTOX® & Line Relaxers
Treatments we offer
There are four major brands of neurotoxin that have been FDA approved: BOTOX®, Dysport®, Jeuveau®, and Xeomin®. These all share the molecular structure of botulism toxin, which is the protein responsible for relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles and frown lines. The difference between each brand is in the patented process that extracts the botulism toxin. Some people choose one brand over another for each personal preference or experience.
At Emerge Medical Aesthetics, we have access to all brands of neurotoxins approved by the FDA. We do this to ensure that every experience is tailored to each individual to deliver the best results.

Frequently Asked Questions
BOTOX® works by relaxing the muscles beneath your wrinkles. It reduces muscle movement to keep lines and wrinkles away, but you can still move your face and will look completely natural. In the underarms, BOTOX® works by temporarily switching off your sweat glands in that area.
BOTOX® can treat many different areas for exceptional results.
- Frown lines: smooths the lines between brows
- Crow’s feet: reduces lines at eye corners
- Forehead lines: smooths long lines across the forehead
- Eyebrow lift: subtle eyebrow elevation
- Nefertiti lift: neck and jawline tightening
- Smile enhancement: reduces a gummy smile
- Neck lines: cords around the neck
- Mouth: corners of the mouth to lift drooping
In addition to all of the aesthetic uses, Botox can be very helpful in hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and migraine headache treatment.
If you have fine lines and wrinkles and want to reclaim your youthful appearance without invasive procedures or surgery, you’re probably a great BOTOX® candidate.
BOTOX® is injected with a very fine needle and is well-tolerated by almost everyone. The treatment takes 10-20 minutes, and you’re back to your normal routine immediately.
BOTOX® patients usually notice onset within the first 3 days and see peaks at 2 weeks. It takes effect in some areas faster. For example, the International Hyperhidrosis Society says that BOTOX® can take effect in the underarm area in as little as two days when injected for excessive sweating.
Treatments with BOTOX® last up to 3 months.

Before & After
Xeomin®
Frown lines form when facial expressions are made as the muscle under the skin contracts. Over time, as your skin ages, these repeated expressions cause lasting frown lines. Neurotoxins, such as Xeomin®, are prescription medications that block the release of chemicals that cause these muscle contractions so frown lines are softened.
Frequently Asked Questions
When you squint or frown, the muscles between your eyebrows contract, causing the skin to furrow and fold. Over time, as your skin ages and loses some of its elasticity, these repeated contractions can cause persistent frown lines. Botulinum toxin type A – the active ingredient in Xeomin®– acts on nerve endings in muscles to prevent muscle fibers from contracting. By reducing these contractions, Xeomin® can temporarily reduce the lines between your eyebrows.
If you are an adult with moderate to severe glabellar lines, Xeomin® may be right for you. Talk to your doctor to discuss the benefits and risks of treatment.
You may begin to see visible smoothing as early as 3-4 days after injection. The median first onset of effect was less than a week. The maximum effect occurred at 30 days.
