What Is Botox (and Dysport, and Xeomin)?
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin are all wrinkle relaxers. They use a purified protein (botulinum toxin type A) that temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause expression lines like forehead wrinkles, crow's feet, and frown lines.
All three are FDA-approved. They have slightly different formulations and onset times, but in expert hands, they all do the same job: soften lines without freezing your face. At Mint, we carry all three so we can match the right one to your features, your history, and how your face actually moves.
You've Seen Botox Done Badly. We Have Too.
You've seen the droopy eyelids. The heavy brows that don't lift. The smiles that don't quite work. That's what bad Botox actually looks like: tox that didn't work, tox that migrated to the wrong muscle, or tox placed by someone who wasn't paying attention to how your face was going to move for the next three months.
At Mint, we start with a real conversation about what you actually want. Some clients want a smooth, frozen forehead. Others want to soften lines while keeping full expression. We work with what you're going for. If tox alone can't get you there, we'll tell you honestly and offer other options like filler, biostimulators, or skin treatments to help you get the result you actually want.
We're upfront about what will work for your face and what won't. That's the difference between a result you love and one you regret.
How We Do Tox at Mint
Step one | Book your aesthetic consult
A real conversation about what bothers you, what you want to soften, what you want to leave alone, and how you actually use your face. $50 consult fee that goes toward your treatment.
Step two | Get analyzed, not assembly-lined
Your injector examines your bone structure, muscle movement, and facial proportions before recommending a dose. Most people end up with less product than they expected, not more.
Step three | Get your treatment
Quick in-and-out visit. You're back in your car within 30 minutes. Full effect in 7 to 14 days.
Who Tox Is For
Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin at Mint are for:
Adults bothered by forehead lines, frown lines (the "elevens"), or crow's feet
People with TMJ tension or jaw clenching (Tox for the masseters)
Patients wanting a softer jawline or "Nefertiti neck" lift
Anyone with DAOs (the downward lines at the corners of the mouth)
Adults dealing with excess sweating in the underarms (hyperhidrosis)
Patients wanting prevention before deep lines set in (typically late 20s into 30s)
Anyone who's been holding off because of bad Botox they've seen on other people
If you want results that look like you on your best day, not a frozen version of someone else, you're in the right place.

What to Expect
-
Before your appointment
Avoid alcohol, fish oil, and NSAIDs (ibuprofen, aspirin) for 24 to 48 hours to reduce bruising risk
Come without makeup if possible, or be ready to remove it
Eat something beforehand
-
During the appointment:
Quick review of areas being treated
Injector marks your face with a non-permanent pencil
Tiny needle, multiple small injections
Total appointment time: 15 to 30 minutes
Discomfort is minimal. Most patients say it's less than they expected.
-
After your appointment:
No lying down flat for 4 hours
No vigorous exercise or extreme heat for 48 hours
No facial massage or face-down spa treatments for 2 weeks
You'll feel the product start working in 3 to 5 days

-
Touch-ups:
We set aside a reassessment at 2 weeks in case your result needs adjusting. Most patients don't need a touch-up, but if you do, we only charge for the additional units used. We'd rather start light and add more than over-correct.

Injectors Who Study Your Face
Tox at Mint is administered by our medical team: Dr. Sanjay Sundar, MD (Medical Director), Rachel Sundar, RN (Founder), and Nurse Practitioner Nikki Goff, DNP. Every injector at Mint trains continuously in facial anatomy, expression dynamics, and the underlying structures (bone, tendon, fat, muscle) that determine how your face actually ages.
We are also the same team that runs your hormones, your peptides, and your weight loss protocols. That matters more than you'd think. Hormone shifts affect how your skin responds to neuromodulators. We see your whole face,
not just the lines.

More About Botox, Dysport + Xeomin at Mint
Mint Aesthetics + Wellness offers Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin treatments at our Bettendorf, Iowa clinic. All three are FDA-approved neuromodulators that work by relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines like forehead wrinkles, frown lines (the "elevens"), and crow's feet. Each product is botulinum toxin type A but uses slightly different formulations, onset times, and spread characteristics, which is why Mint carries all three.

Every Tox treatment at Mint begins with an aesthetic consultation that includes facial analysis of bone structure, muscle movement, and facial proportions. The clinical team prioritizes natural, undetectable results over heavy or stylized looks, and prefers to start conservatively and add product at a 2-week touch-up rather than over-correct on the first visit.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Not at Mint. The frozen look is a result of too much product placed without regard for how your face moves. We dose conservatively and analyze each patient's facial structure before injecting. Most people end up with less product than they expected.
-
3 to 4 months for most patients. Some metabolize faster, some slower. We can adjust dose and timing based on how yours wears off.
-
Minimally. Tiny needle, quick pinches. Most patients say it's less than they expected. Numbing isn't usually needed.
-
You'll feel the product start working in 3 to 5 days. Full effect is in place by 7 to 14 days.
-
All three relax the same muscles. Dysport spreads slightly more (often used for broader areas), Xeomin has no accessory proteins (sometimes preferred for patients who've built resistance), and Botox is the original and most familiar name. We'll recommend the right one for you.
-
Bruising is actually pretty common, especially in those on blood thinners or with lighter skin. If bruising happens, it usually fades quickly and is easy to cover with make up. Using topical products like Arnica can help clear up bruising faster.
-
Yes. The touch-up appointment itself is free, and you're only charged for any additional units of tox used to adjust your result.
-
Yes. Botox has been used safely in medicine since the 1980s and aesthetically since the 1990s. When dosed correctly by trained injectors, long-term use is well-tolerated and doesn't damage your face. Some long-term Tox patients actually develop softer expression lines because they've trained out of certain habits like brow furrowing.
-
Yes. New aesthetic patients can book directly through our online booking system. New-to-Tox or new-to-Mint patients qualify for $11/unit pricing.
