Botox and Dysport

Botox and Dysport are neuromodulators derived from botulinum toxin A. They are used to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles by temporarily relaxing the muscles that create those wrinkles. The main uses are to prevent new wrinkles from developing entirely, or to prevent existing wrinkles from becoming deeper. Treatment with Botox and Dysport helps the skin appear smoother and more refreshed.

Botox and Dysport can be used to target lines and wrinkles in a variety of areas including:

  • Forehead
  • Frown lines (“elevens”)
  • Eyes (“crows feet”)
  • Mouth (“lip flip” and “gummy smile”)
  • Nose (“bunny lines”)
  • Chin
  • Neck

They can also be used in the masseter muscles to help with slimming of the jawline and relaxation of TMJ, as well as in the armpits for the reduction of sweating, or hyperhidrosis.

Treatment is quick and virtually painless with no downtime. Botox and Dysport are administered by injection into the skin with a very fine needle. The number of injection points depends on the size and strength of the muscle and how many areas the patient would like treated.

The effects seen with Botox and Dysport are temporary. It takes 2 weeks for treatment to become fully effective, and results can last anywhere from 3-6 months, depending on the patient. Treatment will need to be repeated to maintain desired results.

The most common side effects of injection are pain from the needle, slight swelling at injection points which reduces within minutes to an hour, bruising at injection points, and headache. Other possible side effects include product settling unevenly or migration into unintended muscle groups, leading to drooping of the eyebrow or eyelid. These risks are very low when receiving injections from an experienced provider.

Botox should not be injected in pregnancy, during breastfeeding, or in patients with a known neurologic disorder without prior consultation with a neurologist.

Our experienced providers ensure each treatment is tailored to the individual patient, and strive for the most natural-looking results. Schedule a consult with one of our providers today to see if Botox or Dysport is right for you!
