Botox vs. Dysport vs. Letybo.
SOM primarily carries Botox, with some Dysport and Letybo. Product-specific units are not interchangeable; product selection is confirmed during consultation.
How Botox actually works.
Botox is a purified neurotoxin that temporarily blocks the chemical signal between nerves and muscles. Without that signal, the targeted muscle can't contract, so expression lines caused by muscle movement soften over 3–4 days.
At SOM, dosing is mapped to your facial movement, asymmetry, and goals, not a generic chart. The result: softer lines that still let your face be your face. Over 3–4 months, Botox gradually metabolizes and muscle function returns.

Today, I got the oxygen dome facial with Kelly, and I’m hooked! She made tailored recommendations for skincare and used gentle products with my sensitive skin.
