Botox® and Dysport®
Helping you fight the effects of aging skin
Botox® and Dyport ® are proven solutions to help prevent or minimize the appearance of isolated wrinkles. Most commonly, these treatments are used on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and adjacent to the eyes (crow's feet). These treatments can also be used to alleviate chronic migraines, excessive sweating, neck spasms, overactive bladder, or lazy eye.
Botox® and Dysport® are both types of botulinum toxin injections. These injections relax the facial muscles that cause deep lines like in the forehead (frown lines) or small lines around the eyes (crow's feet). By relaxing these facial muscles, over time, these lines will soften considerably and in some people, they will go away completely.
These products give you "wrinkle free time" where the aging process is slowed down. Although the effect is temporary, it can last three to six months and has the added benefit of reducing the development of future wrinkles by not allowing the repeating movement that contributes to wrinkles over time.
Both Botox® and Dysport® are administered through an injection.
The amount of Botox /Dysport needed varies in each case; your provider will estimate how much you need. Botox and Dysport work in a similar way. Typically one (1) unit of Botox = three (3) units of Dysport.
Each appointment will take approximately 15 minutes.
These treatments have little to no down time or after care restrictions. Most people assume normal activities or return to work the same day.
These products give the desired effect for about 3 months. After doing Botox® or Dysport® for two (2) years, studies have shown that the effects start lasting about 4-5 months.
