Does the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles make you look older than you actually are? Botox® could be the solution that will reduce the unflattering appearance of unwanted wrinkles. Botox® is a treatment that will temporarily decrease muscle function between your eyebrows, which results in the disappearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

By reducing specific muscle activity in five points, Dysport is effective in treating moderate to severe frown lines found between the eyebrows. With 25 years of clinical experience worldwide and approval in 69 different countries, Dysport provides a natural-looking and long-lasting injection that helps prevent frown lines. In as little as 2 to 3 days, results typically appear and can last up to 5 months!

Botox® & Injectables FAQs

The Mayo Clinic deems BOTOX® injections as a “relatively safe treatment when performed by an experienced provider.” Like other treatments, there is always the risk of side effects or complications, but our trained providers take extra care when treating patients.

During your treatment, patients feel minimal discomfort from the tiny injection needles used. Providers can also apply topical numbing or ice if the patient prefers.

The lasting effects of BOTOX® and Dysport are dependent on many factors. The dosage amount and even the patients’ metabolism can play a major role in the lasting effects. For most patients, we see results last between 3 to 5 months. Patients will slowly return to the treated areas.

Preparation can begin the week before your treatment. If you currently take any medications or supplements that can thin your blood, it is suggested to stop taking these the week before. This is to minimize the bruising from injection areas. Some Medications to avoid include:

  • Asprin
  • Ibuprofen
  • Ginseng
  • Fish Oil
  • St. John’s Wort
  • Vitamin E
  • Ginkgo Biloba

 

We also highly suggest not drinking alcohol (wine, beer, liquor, or that happy hour margarita) one to two days prior to your appointment. Avoiding alcohol prior to injections can minimize bruising and prove your recovery speed!

BOTOX® and Dysport are usually injected in the upper areas of the face. Patient’s may also get injections in other areas of the face, underarms (for excessive sweating), and neck areas (neck and jawline rejuvenation).

To increase effectiveness and minimize downtime please be sure to avoid:

  • Rubbing your face, especially around injection areas
  • Lying on your face or applying pressure to your face
  • Strenuous exercise (it’s okay to take the day off!)
  • Alcohol 
  • Blood thinners (check out this list on WebMD)
  • Washing your face
  • Heat and the sun
