FAQs

What Is BOTOX® Cosmetic and How Does It Work?

BOTOX® Cosmetic is an injectable neurotoxin. Its action is to block nerve transmission to certain facial muscles, which allows those muscles to relax and smooth out, giving your face a less lined, smoother, younger appearance.

What is Dysport® and How Does It Work?

Dysport® is a natural-looking, fast-acting, long-lasting injectable neurotoxin used to treat frown lines, crow’s feet and wrinkles—without changing the look or movement of the rest of your face. 

What is the Difference Between BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport®?

Both work in much the same way. Both have the same active ingredient, botulinum toxin A. Dysport® is more diluted than BOTOX® Cosmetic because Dysport uses smaller protein molecules to induce muscle relaxation—so you will need more units to achieve the same look. In most cases, both can be used to treat the same cosmetic conditions. Both are injectable and minimally invasive muscle-relaxing agents. Our experts are happy to outline your options during your initial consultation.   

What Kind of Results Might You See From Neurotoxins?

A few small injections of one of these neurotoxins should leave your brow as well as the areas around the eyes and mouth, depending upon where you treat, looking much smoother and younger. The process takes minutes and should not interfere with daily activities. Effects can last around three months but can last a shorter or much longer time depending upon the individual.

You will begin to feel the effects a few days after the treatment. The longevity of the treatment depends on your metabolism, your muscle strength and how active those muscles are. Some people will metabolize the product very quickly and will, therefore, need injections more often.
