BOTOX, Dysport, Xeomin Tampa
Looking youthful and refreshed does not have to be difficult. Injectable treatments such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport®, and Xeomin® Tampa effortlessly fade unwanted lines and wrinkles. Patients enjoy painless appointments and rapid results with no downtime. Before the treatment, Dr. Castor and our expert injectors will ask about your relevant medical history, the concerns you have, and the results you hope to achieve. In either case, if you are not a candidate for BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport, or Xeomin, another service may be recommended.

Appointments take as little as 10–15 minutes, making it the ultimate lunch break rejuvenation.

BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport, and Xeomin are injectable neuromodulators that all work in the same way. Each of these wrinkle relaxers contains an active ingredient, botulinum toxin, which temporarily blocks nerve signals to key facial muscles. By relaxing these muscles, neuromodulators target the dynamic wrinkles that appear when you smile, frown, or squint. As a result, overlying wrinkles look smoother and less noticeable. These treatments can also work preventively to delay the formation of lines.
Choosing Your Brand
The most recognized name, known for its reliable and localized results.
Often spreads slightly further, making it an excellent choice for larger areas like the forehead.
A "naked" neurotoxin without additive proteins, which may reduce the chance of developing resistance over time.
Neuromodulator treatments are relatively quick and painless. After a consultation to plan your treatment, the actual injection process takes as little as 10 minutes. Your nurse injector at Artisan Aesthetics will use a fine, thin needle to administer injections in the areas of concern. An anesthetic is not necessary for this minimally invasive process. However, a topical numbing cream may be applied to enhance your comfort.
Wrinkle relaxers such as BOTOX® Cosmetic effectively treat dynamic lines and wrinkles. Your injector can inject them in nearly any area that you want to tweak, addressing concerns such as:
Neuromodulators can also be used to balance facial asymmetry or to relax prominent vertical neck bands and jaw muscles. Discuss your specific concerns with Dr. Castor to learn more.
The most immediate benefit of BOTOX®, Dysport®, or Xeomin® is the significant aesthetic refresh without the need for surgery.

Many of our patients find that looking less "tired" or "angry" leads to a genuine boost in confidence and more positive social interactions in their daily lives.

At Artisan Aesthetics, you can feel secure knowing each treatment is tailored to help you feel your most comfortable and confident.
Most adults are ideal candidates for treatments like BOTOX® Cosmetic, but they are not right for everyone. You should not receive these injections if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have a skin infection or severe acne at the treatment site. A consultation is the best way to learn if neuromodulators are a good option for you.
There is little to no downtime associated with injectable treatments. You can return to your normal routine after leaving our practice. Certain behaviors, such as rubbing the treatment area, should be avoided. You will learn more about aftercare during your appointment.
It is possible to experience redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. These side effects are mild and temporary. Avoiding alcohol and blood-thinning medications before your appointment can help.

No. Our goal is always to look natural. By using precise dosing and targeting only the specific muscles causing the wrinkles, we leave the rest of your facial expressions intact. You’ll still be able to smile and express yourself; you just won't have the deep lines to go with it.
For most patients, results last 3 to 4 months. We recommend scheduling maintenance appointments regularly; over time, the muscles "learn" to relax, and your results may even last longer.
The most common side effects are minor, such as localized redness or a tiny bruise at the injection site. These usually resolve within a few hours to a few days. We provide comprehensive aftercare instructions to ensure a seamless healing process.
BOTOX relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles (dynamic lines), while dermal fillers add volume to areas where skin has thinned or sagged (static lines). They are often used together to provide a "Liquid Facelift" for a total facial refresh.
