Injectables

Botox Cosmetic and Dysport are injectable neuromodulators, which means that they work to temporarily alter nerve impulses of specific muscles, reducing or eliminating wrinkles induced by contraction. They are most commonly used to relax the facial muscles that underlie and cause wrinkles such as frown line, forehead lines, and crows feet. They both work by blocking certain nerve impulses of injected muscles to temporarily relax the muscle movements that cause wrinkles. By reducing the intensity and frequency contraction-induced wrinkles, Botox and Dysport prevent the formation of future deep lines, making them a preferred anti-aging solution.

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.

Botox® by Allergan is a cosmetic injectable that boasts an extremely high safety and efficacy profile. Dysport® by Galderma also comes with a proven safety profile and works the same way Botox does, with only a slightly different formulation of Botulinum Toxin A.
