Botox and Dysport have been clinically shown to be safe for all skin types and colors. During your treatment, each target muscle is injected using a fine needle for a few seconds with only minor discomfort. Some patients opt to use topical anesthesia, but it is not required. The number of injections administered depends on many factors, including the extent of the area you are treating. You will not need any downtime and may resume your normal activities immediately. You may experience some slight redness, bruising, or swelling at the site of the injection temporarily.

Here’s the best part:

The injections usually begin working two to three days after treatment, with full effects appearing in about two weeks to a month. You should see smooth, wrinkle-free skin with a more youthful appearance. The result of the treatment may last about four to six months, and then the muscle movement will begin to gradually return, with wrinkles and lines starting to appear again. They should not be as severe because the muscles are trained to relax more. For optimal results, you may need retreatment every four to six months, depending on how your skin responds.
