Botox, Dysport & Xeomin Injections in Lansing, MI
Neurotoxin Injectables for Smooth, Natural-Looking Results
Expression lines tell your story, but they don't have to steal the show. Whether you're noticing forehead lines, crow's feet, or frown lines between your brows, Botox and other neurotoxins offer a proven path to smoother, more refreshed skin. At Aqua Body Lab, we use FDA-approved neurotoxin injections, including Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin, to help you look as vibrant as you feel.
What Are Neurotoxin Injections?
Neurotoxins, also known as neuromodulators or wrinkle relaxers, are FDA-approved injectable treatments that work by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles. Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin all contain botulinum toxin type A and work by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, smoothing wrinkles and preventing new lines from forming. When these muscles relax, the skin above them smooths out, softening the appearance of lines and creating a more refreshed look.
Common Areas We Treat
- Forehead lines – Horizontal creases that deepen with repeated expressions
- Frown lines (the “11s”) – Vertical lines between the eyebrows that can create a stern appearance
- Crow’s feet – Fine lines around the outer eyes that appear with smiling or squinting
- Bunny lines – Wrinkles across the bridge of the nose
- Lip lines – Vertical lines around the mouth
- Chin dimpling – “Orange peel” texture on the chin
- TMJ and jaw tension – Masseter muscle treatment for relief from teeth grinding and jaw pain
- Hyperhidrosis – Excessive sweating of the underarms, hands, and feet
Botox vs. Dysport vs. Xeomin: Knowing Your Options
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin all share the same active ingredient—botulinum toxin type A—but differ in formulation, protein structure, and FDA-approved uses. These subtle distinctions affect how each spreads, activates, and performs for different goals and timelines.
Botox
Botox is the most established neurotoxin, with the longest clinical track record and the widest range of FDA-approved applications—including chronic migraines, TMJ disorders, and hyperhidrosis.
When results appear: 3–5 days
Best for: Patients looking for a trusted, long-standing option with broad applications.
Dysport
Dysport is FDA-approved to treat moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. Its smaller-molecule formulation enables greater diffusion and quicker results, making it ideal for broader surface areas.
Results appear: 2–3 days
Best for: Those wanting quick, natural results with smooth coverage across the forehead.
Xeomin
Often called “naked tox,” Xeomin is a pure form of botulinum toxin—free from complexing proteins. This clean formulation offers a lighter touch while reducing the risk of antibody formation over time.
Results appear: 3–4 days
Best for: First-time neurotoxin patients or those who’ve noticed diminished effects from Botox.
During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the right option based on your treatment areas, desired timeline, and past experience with neurotoxins.

Questions? We’ve Got Answers!
What’s the best age to start getting Botox?
There’s no magic number, but many people begin in their late 20s to early 30s as a preventive measure. Starting earlier can reduce the formation of deeper lines, while those in their 40s and beyond see excellent results in softening existing wrinkles.
Do neurotoxin injections hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch or mosquito bite. We use ultra-fine needles and can apply numbing cream for sensitive areas. The entire injection process takes just minutes, and any minor discomfort fades immediately.
What’s the difference between Botox and fillers?
Botox (and similar injectables like Dysport or Xeomin) work by relaxing targeted muscles to smooth lines caused by facial expressions—like frown lines or crow’s feet. Dermal fillers add volume beneath the skin to restore fullness, contour the face, or enhance features like the lips and cheeks. Many patients combine both for a balanced, comprehensive skin rejuvenation.
How long do results last?
Results typically last 3-4 months. You’ll start noticing smoother skin within 2-5 days of treatment, with full results visible in about two weeks. Most patients maintain their results with quarterly treatments.
What happens when I stop getting neurotoxin treatments?
Your wrinkles will gradually return to their pre-treatment state as the neurotoxin wears off—nothing worse happens. You won’t experience a “rebound effect” or accelerated aging. Many patients choose to maintain their results with regular treatments, but there’s no medical requirement to continue.
