Botox & Dysport

Botox/Dysport is a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes muscles, reducing the appearance of wrinkles by preventing muscle contractions. 

When administered by a qualified and experienced professional, Botox/Dysport is generally considered safe. Our practice offers a complimentary consultation for each patient to ascertain the safe and expert administration of Botox by our trained and certified injectors. 

Botox/Dysport is a non-surgical procedure with minimal downtime. Patients can typically resume normal activities immediately after treatment. 

Botox/Dysport results are temporary and typically last three to four months. Regular maintenance treatments are recommended for sustained effects. 

Side effects are usually mild and temporary, including bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection site. Serious side effects are rare. 

Botox/Dysport is suitable for individuals with moderate to severe facial wrinkles looking for a non-invasive cosmetic solution. The consultation with our healthcare professionals can determine candidacy. 

Your healthcare provider will assess your treatment objectives and conduct a facial analysis to identify the suitable treatment areas. If deemed suitable, same-day treatment may be administered if time allows. 

Botox can be combined with other cosmetic treatments to enhance overall results. Common combinations include dermal fillers and laser therapies. 

Results typically begin to appear within a few days to a week after the procedure, with full effects becoming evident within two weeks. 

The frequency of Botox/Dysport injections depends on individual factors and desired results. Most patients opt for treatments every three to six months for ongoing benefits. 

While Botox/Dysport is widely known for its cosmetic applications, it is also used for various medical conditions, including migraines, excessive sweating, and certain muscle disorders. 

Botox/Dysport injections are generally well-tolerated. Patients may experience minor discomfort, but the procedure is quick, and any discomfort is brief. 

• Avoid blood-thinning medications for several days before your visit (*Unless medically indicated).
• Avoid alcohol on the procedure day.
• Arrive with a clean, washed face.
• If you have a history of cold sores, start your anti-viral medication 3 days prior to your injection.

Before/Dysport and after your treatment, your injector will capture photographs. For certain areas, a numbing cream may be applied before the injection. Many patients describe the injections as a mild pinch. 

• Do not lie down for 4 hours.
• Do not wear a hat for 4 hours if the forehead is treated.
• Avoid any massage or pressure to the treatment area(s), as this may alter the placement of the drug.
• If you would like to reapply makeup, do so gently over the treatment area(s).
• Avoid flushing/sweating and heavy exercise for 24 hours. 

Recovery time for the treatment is minimal, allowing you to resume your daily activities right away. Visible smoothing of lines may begin within 24 to 48 hours, with complete results apparent within 30 days. The effects can last up to 4 months for moderate to severe lines. During your 2-week follow-up visit, you and the provider can assess whether additional units are necessary.
