Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® Specialist in Illinois & Iowa
Nonsurgical Rejuvenation from an Expert in Eye and Facial Aesthetics
Wrinkles happen. But they don’t have to define how you look or feel. At Eye Surgeons Associates, Dr. Dan Repp, our fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeon, offers advanced nonsurgical treatments using FDA-approved neuromodulators—including Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®—to help you soften lines and refresh your appearance with precision and care. As an ophthalmologist and facial surgeon, Dr. Repp uniquely understands the anatomy around your eyes, ensuring natural results and protecting your eye health.
What Are Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®?
Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin® are injectable medications classified as neuromodulators. These products work by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles—lines that form from repeated facial expressions like squinting, frowning, or raising your eyebrows. Once the muscle activity is reduced, the skin above it smooths out, creating a more relaxed and youthful appearance.
These FDA-approved products relax muscles under your skin, smoothing wrinkles caused by muscle contractions like:
- Frown lines between eyebrows
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Forehead lines
Dr. Repp offers all three brands: Botox®, Dysport®, and Xeomin®. Each product has unique characteristics that may suit different facial muscles and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, he will help determine which product is right for you based on your anatomy and preferences. Learn more about Dr. Repp and our full range of oculoplastic services.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
These neuromodulators are often used to smooth common problem areas such as frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), horizontal forehead creases, and crow’s feet at the corners of the eyes.
Because Dr. Repp specializes in eyelid and periocular surgery, his deep understanding of the muscles around the eyes allows for highly targeted injections that produce smooth, symmetrical results, without a “frozen” look. Patients often combine Botox® or Dysport® with other services like upper or lower eyelid surgery for more comprehensive rejuvenation.
