Botox in St. Louis | Dysport, Daxxify, Xeomin, Jeuveau

Neuromodulators

Botox is often the first treatment people book when they start noticing forehead wrinkles, frown lines, or other fine lines. At ELEV8 Aesthetics, we offer Botox, Dysport, Daxxify, Xeomin, and Jeuveau to soften movement-related wrinkles and help you look more rested.

Botox works best for dynamic lines: the fine lines and wrinkles created by repeated muscle movement when you frown, raise your brows, smile, or squint.

Botox is our favorite treatment for:

Forehead wrinkles

Frown lines

TMJ or Masseter

DAO

How Botox Works

Neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport temporarily relax the small facial muscles that create expression lines. When those muscles stop contracting as strongly, the skin above them has a chance to smooth out, and the lines have less opportunity to deepen over time.

Botox is excellent at preventing dynamic fine lines.

However, if muscle movement is not causing the change you see, then Botox will not be the treatment that changes it. To select the most effective treatment for you, we must first identify the root cause of your concern.

Botox Before and After

Frequently Asked Questions

Dysport and Botox are both neuromodulators, which means they relax targeted muscles to soften movement-related lines. The main differences come down to dosing, onset, spread, and how your body responds. Some patients like Dysport because it may start working a little faster. Some prefer Botox because they already know how it performs for them. At ELEV8 Aesthetics, the product choice depends on your anatomy, treatment area, past results, and goals.

Come in with a clean face if you can, and avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment to help reduce your chance of bruising. If you take blood thinners or medications that affect bleeding, do not stop them on your own: ask your prescribing provider first. Your appointment is quick, and most patients return to normal daily activities right after treatment with only mild redness, light tenderness, or small injection marks that look like mosquito bites and fade within 30 minutes. 

Do not rub, massage, or apply pressure to the treated areas for the rest of the day. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, hot yoga, facial massage, and alcohol for 24 hours. Skip facials, brows, lashes, and other treatments that require pressure on the face until your provider says it is safe. Let the product settle, then go back to your normal routine.

Skip strenuous exercise for 24 hours after Botox. Increased heat, pressure, and blood flow can raise your risk of swelling or bruising and may interfere with how the product settles. Light walking is fine. Save the hard workout, hot yoga, sauna, or long run for the next day.

A mild headache can happen after Botox, especially after upper-face treatment. It usually resolves on its own. Hydrate, avoid strenuous activity right after treatment, and follow your post-care instructions. If your headache feels severe, unusual, or does not improve, contact ELEV8 Aesthetics so a licensed medical provider can tell you what to do next.

Not usually. Botox works on muscle movement. If your main concern is sagging, heaviness, deep nasolabial folds, or simply looking tired and not knowing why, then the cause is not likely to be a muscle issue. In that case, Botox may not give you the result you want on its own. ELEV8 may recommend a more effective approach that supports skin quality, structure, volume, or collagen stimulation instead, and may include treatments like dermal filler, Sculptra & Radiesse biostimulators, PRF injections, or microneedling.

I’m so happy with my results from Hailey! I originally went in thinking I wanted a lip flip, but she recommended gummy smile Botox instead and I’m so glad I listened to her. I really appreciated that she took the time to look at my face and explain what she thought would give me the best results for me. She’s super sweet, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely comfortable. I love my results and will definitely be going back to her!

Tara was friendly, professional, and excellent at explaining the options. The procedure was very smooth and no more painful than a bee sting.

I must say that ELEV8 Aesthetics is my go to for all of my self-care needs. Hailey is very knowledgeable and trustworthy, she has never tried to oversell anything, and she always goes above and beyond. Not only am I very satisfied with my treatments and results, I truly feel she listens to me, and that, I feel is invaluable. I have no reservations referring Elev8 Aesthetics to all of my family and friends.

I'm very happy with how Hailey did my Botox. The results are excellent. I'd previously done it elsewhere and wasn't satisfied. She's very pleasant and kind, and she does everything quickly and professionally. I highly recommend her!

I had never had any injectables when I found Elev8, and am so glad I did! Hailey explains everything thoroughly and will guide you to make the best decision for you, not just give you what you came in asking about or what costs the most. The results have been great for both PRP under eye filler and Botox. Easy and flexible scheduling too.

I don’t often leave reviews, but I genuinely had such an amazing experience today with Tara. For context, this was my first time ever receiving injectables of any kind. I’ve been doing my research for months upon months to try and find someone that I felt like I could trust—I’m so glad I did! I booked a consultation and had several questions. She took the time to break down and explain every concern that I expressed and was extremely knowledgeable. It was so nice to feel included and educated every step of the way! There was no pressure/judgement to do anything I didn’t discuss in the consultation. They also offer a discounted rate for Botox if you’ve never been before. All in all, I couldn’t recommend Tara more for any of your needs. ❤️
