Botox/Dysport – Cosmetic
What is Botox / Dysport
Many lines and wrinkles on the face are caused by repetitive muscle use from certain facial expressions such as frowning or squinting. Some of these facial expressions are intentional, but many are subconscious (without you even being aware of the facial movement). Botox and Dysport are both medications that when injected underneath the skin, temporarily prevent the muscle from moving. This helps smooth lines and wrinkles in the area of injection within 10-14 days of injection. Over time, with consistent treatment, the lines and wrinkles begin to fade and fill in.
Who is Botox and Dysport for
This is not just for more mature individuals, but for young adults too. In fact, smaller amounts earlier may lead to better overall results and prevent damage to the skin before it ever occurs. Prevention of lines and wrinkles leads to less damage and in turn less correction to do later down the road.
Why Botox and Dysport
After treatment, you will still look like YOU, but a more rested, rejuvenated you. This treatment is the best way to let your body prevent or heal wrinkles deep within the skin. This injection simply softens lines and eases tension in the treatment areas.

Common Botox and Dysport Treatments
Lines and Wrinkles
To prevent and correct lines Botox/Dysport can be injected between the eyebrows (11 lines), forehead area, crows feet around the eyes, fine lines caused by squinting, and at the lower corners of the mouth (frown lines).
Lip Flip
Botox or Dysport can be used to enhance the appearance of the lips. This treatment allows more of your lip’s natural surface area to show, creating the look of fuller lips without the addition of volume-enhancing injectables. This is a great alternative for patients who do not want to have filler injections and would like a subtle and natural enhancement of the lips or can be used alongside lip filler for increased results.
Chin Dimples
When the muscle in our chin is contracted, dimpling of the skin may be caused. Over time this can leave an “orange peel” like texture to the skin area. Botox/Dysport can be injected to prevent and correct the dimpling texture of the chin.
Eyebrow Lift
An injection above one or both eyebrows can be done to correct asymmetries, improve hooded eyelids, or can reduce droopiness resulting in a refreshed and youthful appearance.
Therapeutic
Botox and Dysport can also be used to treat excessive sweating of the underarms, palms of the hands, and soles of the feet. These medications are also injected into the muscles of the jaw to help alleviate the pain and discomfort of TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint) issues and in many patients, help with headaches. Natural asymmetries can also be corrected with the use of this medication as well. For more information, please visit our Botox/Dysport-Therapeutic page.
