Botox, Dysport & Xeomin — What's the Difference?
All three are FDA-approved neuromodulators that work by relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines. The difference lies in their formulation, onset, and how they spread. Dr. Barbat will recommend the best option for your anatomy and goals.
| Product | Onset | Spread | Duration | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Botox Most recognized |
3–7 days, full effect at 2 weeks | Minimal — stays close to injection site | 3–4 months | Precise placement; forehead, brow, crow's feet |
| Dysport Faster onset |
2–5 days, faster initial results | Diffuses more — covers larger areas | 3–4 months | Larger muscle groups; forehead lines |
| Xeomin "Naked" toxin |
3–7 days | Similar to Botox | 3–4 months | Patients who may have developed resistance to Botox; no complexing proteins |
All three products are priced similarly. The best choice depends on your anatomy, past treatment history, and desired outcome — we'll walk you through the options at your consultation.

Reviews
"Fifth time seeing Dr. Barbat for Botox to smooth out my forehead and crow's feet and my second lip flip. Amazing experience again… I will never go anywhere else."

"Dr. Barbat is gentle, honest, and beyond talented at what she does. She never oversells or over-Botoxes — I always know my results are going to be perfect."
"She recommended I do only 15 units for my frown lines instead of the 20 other places suggested — and I loved the results. She's very gentle and informative. Very professional staff."

What Are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are injectable treatments that temporarily relax the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles — the lines that form when you smile, frown, or squint. By targeting specific facial muscles, these treatments smooth existing lines and prevent new ones from forming, all while preserving your natural expressions.
At Skin House in Birmingham, MI, Dr. Christina Barbat uses a conservative, anatomy-driven approach to Botox injections. Rather than a one-size-fits-all formula, each treatment plan is customized to your facial structure, skin quality, and aesthetic goals. The result? You still look like you — just refreshed.
What to Expect During Your Botox Treatment
Your Botox appointment at Skin House takes approximately 15-30 minutes. During your initial consultation, Dr. Barbat will assess your facial anatomy, discuss your concerns, and create a personalized treatment plan. The injections themselves take just minutes using ultra-fine needles, with most patients describing minimal discomfort.
There is no downtime after your Botox treatment. You can return to your normal activities immediately. Results typically begin to appear within 3-5 days, with full results visible at 2 weeks. Botox results last 3-4 months on average, though many patients at our Birmingham, MI clinic find that results last longer with consistent treatments.

FAQ
At Skin House, Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are priced at $13-$14 per unit. The total cost of your treatment depends on the areas being treated and the number of units needed. During your consultation, Dr. Barbat will provide a customized treatment plan with transparent pricing.
The number of units varies by treatment area and individual anatomy. Common ranges include: forehead lines (10-30 units), glabella/frown lines (10-25 units), crow's feet (5-15 units per side), and lip flip (4-6 units). Dr. Barbat will recommend the right amount during your consultation — we never oversell.
All three are FDA-approved neuromodulators that work by temporarily relaxing muscles. Botox is the most well-known brand. Dysport tends to spread slightly more, making it ideal for larger areas like the forehead. Xeomin is a “naked” toxin with no additives, which may be beneficial for patients who have developed resistance to other brands. All three are priced similarly at Skin House.
Botox results typically last 3-4 months. Dysport may onset slightly faster (2-3 days vs. 3-5 days for Botox), while Xeomin has a similar timeline to Botox. With regular treatments, some patients find their results last longer over time as the targeted muscles gradually weaken.
Most patients describe Botox injections as a quick pinch. At Skin House, we use ultra-fine needles and can apply a topical numbing cream if desired. The entire treatment takes just minutes, and any mild discomfort resolves immediately.
A lip flip is a Botox technique that relaxes the muscles around the upper lip, causing it to gently roll outward for a subtly fuller appearance. It uses just 4-6 units and is a popular alternative to lip filler for patients who want a natural enhancement. The lip flip is one of our most-requested treatments at Skin House in Birmingham.
No downtime is needed. You can return to work and normal activities immediately after your appointment. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, lying flat, and rubbing the treated area for 4 hours post-treatment.
Most healthy adults over 18 are good candidates for Botox. It is ideal for treating dynamic wrinkles (lines that appear with facial expressions) and can also be used preventatively. Botox is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Schedule a consultation at Skin House to determine if Botox is right for you.
