Botox vs Dysport vs Xeomin: which is right for me?

There is no single right answer: the choice depends on your anatomy, your goals and how you have responded to treatment before. The products differ in formulation, diffusion, onset and duration, and units are not interchangeable between them. Natural-looking results depend on treatment planning and injection technique rather than the brand.

Dr. Anita matches the product to the patient instead of using one approach for everyone. Our guide to the difference between Botox, Dysport and Xeomin explains the options in more detail.

How much does medical aesthetics cost in Cashiers?

We do not publish a fixed price list, because pricing is consultation-led. Cost depends on the treatment selected, the treatment area, the amount of product required, the number of sessions and your individual goals. Costs are discussed at your consultation, before you agree to any treatment.

Frequently asked questions

How soon will I see results, and how long do they last?

Results from neuromodulators are generally noticed within approximately four to ten days. How long results last depends on the treatment area, dose, muscle activity, your individual response and the technique used. Results are temporary, and maintenance intervals are discussed with you.

Will I look frozen or unnatural?

The practice’s approach is to enhance your natural features rather than correct every line. Natural-looking results depend on careful planning and injection technique, which is why every treatment starts with an assessment.

What are the risks and side effects?

Every medical aesthetic treatment carries risks. Dr. Anita explains the risks, contraindications and aftercare that apply to your chosen treatment at your consultation, before anything is agreed.

Is there any downtime?

Downtime depends on the treatment and on you. It is discussed at consultation along with what to do before and after treatment.

Am I a suitable candidate?

Suitability depends on your goals, medical history and clinical assessment, so a consultation is required before any treatment is recommended.

What is the difference between neuromodulators and dermal fillers?

Neuromodulators such as Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Daxxify work on muscle activity behind dynamic lines, while dermal fillers such as Restylane, Juvederm and Radiesse are used for volume and contour. Some patients need one, some both; Dr. Anita advises after assessing you.

Do you have other clinics?

Yes. Besides Cashiers, the practice has locations in Asheville and Wake Forest, North Carolina, and in Red Bank.

Individual results vary. A consultation is required to determine whether a treatment is appropriate for you. Treatment recommendations are based on individual goals, medical history and clinical assessment.
