What Are Botox and Dysport?

Botox and Dysport are neuromodulators derived from the botulinum toxin type A. The cosmetic injectables work by blocking nerve impulses to select muscles, temporarily relaxing them. This helps reduce or even eliminate dynamic lines and wrinkles that appear over time due to repeated facial expressions and muscle contractions. The treatment results are subtle, leaving you looking like you, only wrinkle-free.

Botox: Botox is the most popular neurotoxin, with millions of wrinkles treated worldwide. It is FDA-approved to treat moderate to severe forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Botox delivers beautifully natural results that last for months.
Dysport: Dysport is similar to Botox but is thinner in consistency, which helps it spread more quickly. This makes it ideal for large surface areas like the forehead. Dysport is FDA-approved for treating moderate to severe frown lines, delivering stunning transformations.

Beyond Beauty: Therapeutic Benefits

Aside from virtually erasing fine lines and wrinkles, our injectable neuromodulators address a range of concerns. Struggling with excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)? Botox and Dysport can provide temporary relief by blocking the nerves that cause excessive sweating. They can also target specific muscles, offering a highly effective solution for addressing teeth grinding and clenching (bruxism), TMJ pain, migraines, and neck and shoulder tension resulting from stress. Consult with our physicians to get your personalized treatment plan.

Botox or Dysport - Which One Is Right for You?

What Can You Expect During Treatment?

Our providers use ultra-fine needles to inject Botox or Dysport into your targeted muscles with minimal discomfort. The entire procedure can take anywhere from 15-30 minutes, depending on your unique needs.

Mild bruising or redness may develop at the injection sites, which is no cause for alarm and should resolve soon after treatment. You should not require any downtime, meaning you can resume your daily activities without interruption. To help Botox and Dysport spread evenly into the target muscles, we recommend that you refrain from strenuous exercise for 24 hours and avoid lying flat for 4 hours after the injections.

What Results Can You Expect?

While results may vary from individual to individual, Botox typically shows noticeable results in 7 days, while Dysport starts showing effects in 2 to 4 days. Treatment results usually take about two weeks to take full effect and typically last 3 to 4 months. The frequency of Botox or Dysport treatment is generally at 4 to 6 month intervals. However, intervals may increase as you repeat treatment because the targeted muscles become trained to relax.
