Botox Injections

Anti-wrinkle injections such as Botox Cosmetic and Dysport work beneath the surface to temporarily reduce the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe wrinkles. This non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment helps relax your wrinkles and lines to refresh your skin with little to no downtime.  Although the products are similar, there are some subtle differences.

Areas of Treatment

Botox

 

Botox is made from Botulinum Toxin Type A and relaxes the muscles leading to less wrinkles. 

Effects are usually seen within 5-7 days, with peak effect at 14 days. 

Treatment is painless and generally lasts 3 to 4 months

Dysport

 

Dysport is also made from Botulinum Toxin Type A and relaxes the muscles leading to less wrinkles.  Effects are usually seen within 3-5 days, with peak effect at 14 days.  Treatment is painless and generally lasts 3 to 4 months.

*Dysport is contraindicated for anyone with an allergy to cow’s milk protein
