When it comes to maintaining a youthful, refreshed appearance, many people want results without the downtime or risks of surgery. That’s where neurotoxin treatments like Botox and Dysport come in. These non-surgical options are safe, fast, and effective at smoothing fine lines and wrinkles, helping you look as young as you feel.
Neurotoxins are injectable medications that temporarily relax specific facial muscles responsible for creating expression lines. The two most popular FDA-approved neurotoxins are Botox and Dysport. Both are derived from a purified form of botulinum toxin type A and have decades of clinical research supporting their safety and efficacy.
Over time, repeated facial expressions such as frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows cause lines and wrinkles to form. Neurotoxins like Botox and Dysport work by blocking the nerve signals that tell these facial muscles to contract. By relaxing these targeted muscles, the skin above them smooths out, reducing the appearance of fine lines and preventing new ones from forming.
Common areas treated with neurotoxins include:
• Forehead lines
• Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
• Frown lines (between the brows)
• Bunny lines (on the nose)
• Lip lines
• Chin dimpling
Results typically appear within a few days and can last up to three or four months, depending on the product and individual metabolism.
While both Botox and Dysport work in similar ways, there are subtle differences that may make one a better choice for you:
• Botox: Known for its precise targeting and slightly firmer “hold,” Botox is often chosen for areas that need more defined correction.
• Dysport: Dysport spreads a bit more after injection, making it ideal for larger treatment areas like the forehead. Some patients find Dysport’s effects appear more quickly.
Your aesthetic specialist will help you determine which product best meets your needs and desired results.
• Non-surgical: No incisions, stitches, or anesthesia required
• Minimal downtime: Resume normal activities right after your appointment
• Quick treatments: Most sessions take less than 20 minutes
