What are Botox and Dysport?
Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved injectables made from a purified protein. They are neuromodulators, meaning they work by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles.
How Do They Affect Wrinkles?
Certain wrinkles, known as dynamic wrinkles, are caused by repeated muscle movements, like smiling or frowning. Over time, these wrinkles can become etched into the skin, even when your face is at rest. Botox and Dysport can help soften these wrinkles by reducing muscle activity.
Benefits of Botox and Dysport:
- No downtime: You can resume your normal activities immediately after treatment.
- Minimally invasive: The injections are quick and relatively painless.
- Low risk of side effects: Side effects are typically mild and temporary.
- High patient satisfaction: Most patients are very happy with their results.
- Long-lasting results: Results can last for 3-6 months.
- Versatile: Can be used to treat wrinkles in multiple areas of the face.
Botox and Dysport are quick “lunchtime” procedures with no downtime. Most patients see noticeable improvement within 14 days, and the results can last for several months. These treatments are a convenient and cost-effective way to achieve a more youthful appearance.
