Botox & Dysport

Injectables can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance. While Botox is the best-known injectable, there are other options as well.


Botox
Botox is a prescription injection that's used to reduce the appearance of frown lines. Botox injections are the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedure performed in the U.S. It works by reducing the muscle activity that creates deep lines in the forehead. These lines are not only aging, but can also make people look tired or angry. Relaxing these lines restores a softer, more rested and youthful appearance.

As with any procedure, the results will vary, but most patients see a marked improvement within days, followed by gradual, continued improvement over the course of approximately a month. The treatments generally remain effective for up to four months, at which time repeated injections are needed to maintain the results.

Dysport
Dysport is an injectable treatment that's very similar to Botox. It works by relaxing the muscles that cause frown lines and wrinkles. Initial reports show that some patients may see faster results with Dysport - within one to two days, compared to three to five days for Botox. The results may be longer-lasting as well, though the outcome for each patient will vary. However, some patients may develop antibodies that prevent Dysport from working effectively. Your doctor and esthetician can determine which injectable treatment is a better option for you.
