BOTOX® & DYSPORT®

How Can Botox® & Dysport® Help with Fine Lines & Wrinkles?

As we age, wrinkles and lines become more apparent – and they become harder to conceal. Youthful skin has sufficient volume and thickness to withstand folding and creasing caused by underlying facial muscles. 

With age, however, our skin begins to thin and lose its natural volume, becoming less resilient and more affected by the actions of our muscles. 

Botox and Dysport are all neuromodulators which temporarily immobilize muscle activity. This prevents the injected muscle from contracting and from causing pesky lines and wrinkles. 

Where Can Botox® & Dysport® Be Applied?

Fortunately, Botox and Dysport injections can prevent and treat frown lines, forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet and other creases for a more relaxed appearance in minutes!

Can Dysport® Be Used Around the Mouth?

Both Dysport and Botox can be used around the corners of the mouth, along the lipstick lines, and to balance out any unwanted bulkiness on the side of the jaw.

How Long Before You Can See Results?

Results can be seen within 7 days of treatment and many patients report 5–6 months of success! Plus, injections performed by an experienced professional are virtually pain-free! Patients can even return to work within 15 minutes of receiving the injections.

Do's and Don'ts to Follow After Getting Botox Injections

What to Do After Botox Injections 

1. Follow the instructions given by our team: Your injector will give you specific instructions to follow after your Botox injections. Make sure you understand and follow these instructions carefully to ensure the best results and minimize any potential complications.
2. Apply ice to the injection site: Applying ice to the injection site can help reduce swelling and bruising.
3. Move your facial muscles: Make sure to move your facial muscles after your Botox injections. This will help the Botox spread evenly throughout the muscles and give you a more natural-looking result.
4. Wait at least 24 hours before exercising: Avoid exercising or any other strenuous activity for at least 24 hours after your injections. This will help prevent the Botox from spreading to other areas and potentially causing complications.

What Not To Do After Botox Injections

1. Touch or rub the injection site: Avoid touching or rubbing the injection site for at least 24 hours after your injections. This can cause the Botox to spread to other areas and potentially cause complications.
2. Lie down or bend over: Avoid lying down or bending over for at least 4 hours after your injections. This can cause the Botox to spread to other areas and potentially cause complications.
3. Drink alcohol: Avoid drinking alcohol for at least 24 hours after your injections. Alcohol can increase your risk of bruising and may also affect the way the Botox works.
4. Take blood-thinning medications: Avoid taking blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, for at least 24 hours after your injections. These medications can increase your risk of bruising and may also affect the way the Botox works.
