The world of injectables can feel overwhelming — especially if you want soft, natural results that enhance your features without changing who you are. At Lux Laser & Skincare, our approach is simple: highlight what you love, soften what you don’t, and keep everything looking like you.
If you’ve been curious about Botox, fillers, or new techniques like facial balancing, here’s your beginner-friendly guide to understanding how each one works.
Botox & Xeomin — Smooth, Soft, Natural Movement
Botox and Xeomin are both neuromodulators, meaning they relax the tiny facial muscles responsible for fine lines and expression lines.
They help with:
Forehead lines
Frown lines (“11s”)
Crow’s feet
Bunny lines
Lip lines
And the best part? When done correctly, you still express — just with smoother, softer skin.
Botox vs. Xeomin — What’s the difference?
Both deliver beautiful, natural results. The main difference is in formulation:
Botox contains protective proteins
Xeomin includes a purified, “naked” form of the active ingredient
Some clients prefer Xeomin for a cleaner formulation, while others stick to Botox because it’s the household name. Both deliver gorgeous results.
Dermal Fillers — Structure, Shape, Lift, and Hydration
Filler is a hyaluronic acid gel that restores volume, enhances features, and smooths deeper lines. It’s not about looking “filled” — it’s about adding support where the face naturally loses structure over time.
Common treatment areas:
Lips
Cheeks
Chin
Jawline
Nasolabial folds
Under eyes (depending on candidacy)
Why people love filler:
It hydrates and subtly plumps the skin
It restores youthful volume
It enhances shape without downtime
It lasts months to over a year, depending on the area
Facial Balancing — The Modern, Minimalist Approach
Facial balancing is a growing trend that focuses on proportional harmony rather than “filling” specific lines. It uses small, strategically placed amounts of filler to create symmetry and a gentle lift.
Instead of just treating one area, your injector evaluates:
Profile balance
Cheek-to-chin ratio
Lip-to-face proportions
Jawline definition
Side profile transitions
This approach creates soft, structural enhancement that looks incredibly natural — as if you just “woke up looking refreshed.”
What to Expect from an Injectables Consultation
During your appointment, your injector will evaluate your:
Goals
Facial anatomy
Expression patterns
Symmetry
Lifestyle
Long-term aesthetic plan
Then they’ll create a personalized, conservative enhancement plan that fits your style — whether that’s ultra-subtle or slightly sculpted.
