Botox & Dysport
Smooth fine lines and refresh your look with precise, natural results.
Botox & Dysport 101: What to know before you start.
-
Botox and Dysport are neuromodulators that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles to smooth dynamic lines and prevent new ones from forming. These treatments help refresh your appearance while maintaining natural movement and expression. In addition to their aesthetic benefits, it can also be used therapeutically to help reduce jaw pain caused by muscle tension and to treat excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).
-
After a personalized consultation, small amounts of Botox or Dysport are precisely injected into specific muscles using ultra-fine needles. The treatment is quick (usually 10 to 20 minutes) with minimal discomfort or downtime. Most clients begin to see results within 3–5 days, with full effects visible around two weeks.
-
Results typically last 3–5 months, depending on your individual metabolism and treatment area. With consistent maintenance, many clients find results become longer lasting over time.
-
While both are neuromodulators that soften fine lines and wrinkles, they differ slightly in formulation and diffusion. Dysport tends to spread more easily, making it ideal for larger areas like the forehead, while Botox allows for more precise targeting in smaller zones. Your provider will help determine which option best suits your goals and facial anatomy.
