Treated Conditions
How Botox Works
Neuromodulators are cleared, naturally derived substances that relax facial muscles temporarily. This reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and prevents new ones from forming.
Botox and Dysport soften wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily blocking nerve signals that cause muscles to contract.

Overview
What is Botox?
Botox smooths fine lines and wrinkles to refresh and enhance your appearance back to its youthful self. It targets areas commonly affected by expression lines, such as the forehead, around the eyes, and between the eyebrows. By relaxing the muscles in these areas, Botox prevents them from contracting and forming wrinkles. Many people choose this quick and minimally invasive procedure as a surefire method to rejuvenate their facial appearance.
What is Dysport?
Dysport achieves swift and effective results, leaving patients happy and satisfied. It often treats broader areas like the forehead. Like Botox, it smooths furrows and widespread wrinkles by relaxing specific muscle activity, resulting in softer, more natural-looking skin. Ideal for those seeking sweeping enhancements, Dysport refreshes your face with fewer required injections than Botox.
Benefits of Botox and Dysport
- Both neuromodulators smooth out dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions.
- Botox and Dysport treatments typically take only 15 minutes, making it easy to fit into your busy schedule.
- Patients may resume their daily activities almost immediately after their injections, so long as they follow their injector’s post-care instructions.
- Enjoy the rejuvenating effects of Botox and Dysport for up to 3 to 4 months with each treatment.
Pre-Care Instructions
Actions to Take
- Ensure you are well-hydrated before your appointment.
- Discuss any medications, supplements, or health conditions with our injector during your preliminary consultation.
- Aim to have a good night’s sleep before your procedure to help your body recover more effectively.
Actions to Avoid
- Avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, and vitamin E for 1 week pre-injection to decrease your risk for bruising.
- Avoid other facial treatments such as peels or microdermabrasion a week before.
- Avoid wearing make-up or other products on the day of your appointment.
Post-Care Instructions
After the procedure, patients may possibly experience redness, bruising, swelling, tenderness, and/or mild stinging. This usually resolves itself in 15 to 30 minutes.
Actions to Take
- Exercise the injection area for 1 hour post-treatment (frowning, eyebrow-raising, squinting) so that the neuromodulator can fully absorb into the muscle.
- Take Tylenol if you experience discomfort after the procedure.
- Use gentle, non-irritating skincare products for the first 24 hours after treatment.
Actions to Avoid
- Avoid massages, facials, and upside-down yoga-style exercises for 4 hours after the procedure.
- Avoid hot tubs, saunas, or intense heat exposure for 24 hours post-treatment.
- Refrain from strenuous physical activities for 24 hours to prevent excessive bruising.
