03 · Products & areas

What we use, and where.

The product follows the plan. Plans follow the anatomy.
Products

    Allergan

    The original. Five to seven day onset, three to four month duration. The most thoroughly studied formulation in this category.

    All areas
  • Xeomin
    Merz

    Pure neurotoxin, no accessory proteins. Often chosen by clients who have developed resistance or sensitivity to other formulations.

    All areas
  • Daxxify
    Revance

    Peptide-powered for improved skin quality. Longer-lasting in many clients, up to six to nine months. Newer to market; we use it where the duration trade-off makes sense.

    All areas
  • Dysport
    Galderma

    Faster onset (two to three days) and a slightly broader spread, useful for wider muscle groups like the forehead.

    Forehead · Glabella
  • Jeuveau
    Evolus

    Comparable to Botox in onset and duration. A common alternative.

Subtle outward lip lift, marionette softening, chin dimpling, and gummy smile correction.

04

Masseter & TMJ

Slim and sculpt the jawline while easing clenching, grinding, and jaw tension.

Relax the platysma to smooth the neckline and gently lift the jawline. No surgery.

Reduce excessive underarm, hand, or foot sweating for comfort across the year.

A note from the practice
Botox should never erase expression. It should soften what feels overactive while preserving what makes your face feel like you.

08 · Neuromodulators questions

Honest answers, before you book.

Have a question we haven't covered? Text the practice, Dr. Caridi answers personally.

Botox temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles that cause expression lines, such as frowning or raising your eyebrows. By reducing this movement, the overlying skin smooths out and fine lines soften, creating a refreshed and natural look.

The average forehead treatment uses 10 to 30 units, depending on muscle strength, skin thickness, and wrinkle depth. Men and patients with more active muscles may need higher doses, while first-time treatments often start conservatively and adjust at follow-up.

Most people see results lasting 3 to 4 months, though some experience effects for up to 6 months with consistent treatments. Results typically begin to appear within 5 to 7 days and reach their full effect around two weeks.

Side effects are usually mild and temporary, such as slight redness, swelling, or a dull headache. Rare effects include drooping brows or uneven results, which resolve as the product wears off. Botox has an excellent safety record when performed by a trained medical professional.

All are FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A products that smooth wrinkles by relaxing muscles. They differ slightly in onset, spread, and duration-for example, Dysport can take effect faster, while Daxxify often lasts longer, up to six to nine months.

Yes. A lip flip uses a small amount of Botox above the upper lip to relax the surrounding muscle, causing the lip to gently roll outward. This creates a subtly fuller appearance without adding volume and typically lasts two to three months.
