Botox, Xeomin and Dysport
Botox, Xeomin and Dysport are all types or brands of neuromodulators. Neuromodulators block the communication or signals between nerves and muscle cells causing muscles to temporarily “freeze”. The temporary relaxation or “freezing” of the muscles smooths out the appearance of the skin above the muscle to result in a reduction in wrinkles, frown lines and crow’s feet.
Used for decades in cosmetic procedures, Botox, Xeomin and Dysport temporarily improves the appearance of your skin and restores a plump, youthful appearance for those who want to put their best face forward. Results typically last anywhere from 3 to 6 months before another treatment is needed.
What is the difference between Botox, Xeomin and Dysport?
REDUCING WRINKLES
For cosmetic purposes, Botox, Xeomin and Dysport are all used to treat fine lines and wrinkles. Oftentimes Botox is used to refer to any neuromodulator (much like “Kleenex” is the household name for tissue), as it was the first approved and perhaps most popular injectable used in cosmetic procedures. However, Dysport and Xeomin are also FDA-approved injectables with a solid history of effectiveness in the facial aesthetics industry.
FOR LARGER AREAS
Botox and Dysport differ primarily in the dosage per unit, making Dysport a useful injection for larger areas like the forehead. Xeomin differs from both Botox and Dysport in that it does not contain the same complex protein found in its competitors. For that reason, Xeomin may be the recommended option for individuals with skin sensitivities.
What Can I Expect from a Botox® Treatment?
PRIOR TO TREATMENT
Dr. Bryant Anderson will have a personal consultation and evaluate your health history to ensure you are a good candidate for Botox (or Xeomin, or Dysport) injections. The consultation allows Dr. Anderson to understand your goals, answer any questions you may have and determine the proper dosage.
DURING TREATMENT
During this minimally invasive procedure, Botox, Xeomin and Dysport treatments are injected into the target region through a thin needle. The injection is not painful, and the entire treatment is completed in a matter of minutes. Optimal results are typically seen after several days or weeks, as lines and wrinkles decrease gradually in response to the treatment.
How is Botox®Used in Dentistry?
Botox not only provides cosmetic benefits, but offers significant therapeutic benefits as well. Used in dentistry, Botox is used to treat conditions such as TMJ, bruxism and migraines. For more information about Botox in dentistry, please visit our information page on TMJ Dysfunction and Bruxism.

PDO Threads (Smooth & Lifting)
PDO Threads are a non-invasive and non-surgical cosmetic treatment that can help with loose and sagging skin. Our dentist can use PDO Threads to perform a thread lift to tighten and lift your skin. PDO Threads are a biodegradable, dissolvable thread. They are colorless and will last about 6 months.
The presence of these sutures in your skin triggers cells in your body called fibroblasts to produce more collagen. Collagen is the protein that gives your skin its structure and elasticity. Loss of collagen is one of the main causes of aging skin.
WHAT AREAS OF THE FACE CAN A PDO LIFT TREAT?
A thread lift can treat most parts of your face that are experiencing signs of aging. The areas around your cheeks, jaw, neck, and eyes are among the most commonly treated areas.
WHAT RECOVERY SHOULD YOU EXPECT?
Recovery from a PDO thread lift is minimal. You may have some swelling and bruising for the first 24 to 48 hours but you can return to most of your daily routines right away.
SmoothLase (laser collagen induction treatment) (Lightwalker)
ABOUT SMOOTHLASE
SmoothLase is a natural, non-surgical method to tighten your skin and give you a more youthful feel and appearance. At Anderson Family Dental, we use an FDA-approved Fotona Lightwalker laser to stimulate the natural development of collagen in the areas around the mouth, nose, and chin. This activates a healing process that tightens, tones and lifts sagging skin.
SmoothLase therapy restores elasticity and smooths light to medium wrinkling while preventing future wrinkles from developing. You can enjoy beautiful, natural-feeling skin without injectable dermal fillers or surgery.
SmoothLase can treat a wide range of cosmetic conditions, including:
✓ Fine lines and wrinkles

✓ Pigmentation issues
✓ Rosacea
✓ Stretch marks
✓ Sun damage/age spots
✓ Melasma
Erbium Laser Peel (Lightwalker)
ABOUT ERBIUM LASER PEEL
At Anderson Family Dental, we use the Lightwalker Erbium laser to offer laser peel facials and treatment. Laser peel resurfacing is a procedure that uses advanced laser technology to remove the outer layers of skin, revealing new, refreshed skin cells below. This procedure can be used to help smooth the texture of the skin and create an even skin tone.
The Erbium Laser can also stimulate the production of collagen and elastin, which help give your skin a youthful fullness.
Benefits of Erbium Laser Resurfacing
✓ Helps reverse sun damage
✓ Treats fine lines, wrinkles and hyperpigmentation
✓ Requires no downtime
✓ Can be safer for deeper skin tones
WHAT TO EXPECT DURING ERBIUM LASER RESURFACING
Before your treatment begins, our dentist will clean and numb the skin with a topical anesthetic. Depending upon the area being treated, the appointment can take between 30 to 45 minutes and up to two hours for a full-face and neck treatment.
After the treatment, a cooling face mask is applied to help sooth the skin. Dr. Anderson will provide you with instructions to follow at home for cleaning and applying ointment to keep the skin moisturized as it heals.

Microneedling (Rejuvapen)
If you are looking for a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment that restores the youthful appearance of your face, microneedling can provide you with the results you are looking for. At Anderson Family Dental we are proud to offer some of the best microneedling results in Winter Park, FL, with the Rejuvapen.
WHAT IS THE REJUVAPEN?
The Rejuvapen is a remarkable, non-laser, non-surgical treatment that causes skin to stimulate collagen production. This innovative new technology can improve your appearance with little recovery time. This stimulation of new collagen will create tighter skin, smaller pores, and significantly improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines and hyperpigmentation. Micro needling with the Rejuvapen can improve the overall health and circulation of the skin.
HOW DOES THE REJUVAPEN WORK?
The Rejuvapen utilizes precisely spaced micro needles in a small cartridge to create invisible, vertical, micro perforations into the top layers of the skin. These micro perforations or micro-injuries, stimulate the skin’s natural repair mechanism and the skin will start to produce collagen and elastin. This is 100% natural skin renewal.
WHEN CAN YOU EXPECT RESULTS?
You may notice healthier looking skin right away. However, your skin is naturally repairing damage that has happened over a long period of time, it will take time to see optimal results. The dentist will help you create a treatment plan and may suggest 4-6 sessions. You may not see your final results for 3-6 months.
