Botox® & Xeomin® Injections

Looking for a safe, effective way to smooth wrinkles and refresh your appearance? At Aetheria Aesthetics and Wellness, we offer Botox® and Xeomin® neuromodulator treatments, commonly referred to as neurotoxins, to help you achieve natural-looking, radiant results. Our boutique environment ensures each plan is tailored to your unique goals, preserving your facial expression while minimizing the signs of aging.

What Are Neurotoxin Injections?

Neurotoxins work by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles, helping to reduce or eliminate dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive movements like frowning or squinting. Whether you’re looking to soften forehead lines, crow’s feet, or frown lines (the “11’s”), these treatments can provide a rejuvenated, youthful look without surgery or extensive downtime.

“Neurotoxins can beautifully soften lines while letting your true personality shine through. Our approach at Aetheria is subtle and precise, ensuring you look refreshed, never overdone.”

Botox® Treatment Overview

Botox® is a trusted neurotoxin treatment used to soften dynamic facial lines—the fine to moderate wrinkles that form from repeated movement such as frowning, squinting, or raising the brows. Common treatment areas include frown lines (the “11’s”), crow’s feet, and forehead lines, helping restore a rested, refreshed appearance without changing your natural expression.

Most treatments take about 10 to 20 minutes and require little to no downtime. Many clients notice visible softening within a few days, with full results typically appearing around two weeks. Results usually last three to four months, depending on anatomy, lifestyle, and individual response.

At Aetheria Aesthetics & Wellness, Botox® injections are performed with precision and artistry. Our approach emphasizes natural balance over overcorrection, creating results that move with you. During your visit, we’ll review aftercare guidance—such as avoiding rubbing the area or strenuous activity the day of treatment—to help optimize comfort and consistency of results.

“My goal is never to erase your expression—it’s to bring out the version of you that looks rested, confident, and authentically you. Botox® is a wonderful tool when it’s used thoughtfully and conservatively.”

About Xeomin®

Xeomin® is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A that works by relaxing targeted facial muscles responsible for dynamic lines. Like Botox®, it’s used to smooth frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet, producing results that look natural, not frozen. Its “naked” formulation—free from accessory proteins or preservatives—makes it a favorite among clients who prefer a clean, simplified approach to neuromodulator treatments.

The treatment process is quick, with sessions lasting 10 to 20 minutes and minimal downtime. Clients typically begin to notice softening within several days, with the full effect developing around two weeks and lasting approximately three to four months. Xeomin® offers a consistent, predictable result when administered with precision and individualized dosing.

At Aetheria Aesthetics & Wellness, we recommend Xeomin® for those who appreciate its minimalist composition or who have used neurotoxins long term and want to explore a purified alternative. As always, treatments are tailored to your facial anatomy, muscle movement, and desired outcome, ensuring your results remain smooth, expressive, and naturally you.

“Xeomin® gives us another excellent option to tailor your treatment. For some, its purified formulation fits perfectly into their long-term aesthetic plan—it’s all about what serves you best.”
