As you age, the accumulated effects of a lifetime of facial expressions and muscle movements contribute to the development wrinkles, lines and creases that can make you look tired, upset or older than you feel. Botox & Dysport are the most popular treatments for visibly reducing wrinkles and lines of the face and neck, leaving you with a rejuvenated, more youthful appearance.

How Do These Injections Work?
Botox & Dysport injections are used to soften wrinkles caused by certain muscular activity. When you make facial expressions, the muscle movement can lead to the eventual formation of lines and creases where the skin folds together. For example, when you look surprised, lines emerge across your forehead as you raise or furrow your eyebrows. These types of wrinkles are called “dynamic wrinkles,” meaning they are created by the action of your muscles and not gravity and other external effects alone.

Botox & Dysport injection treatment works by interrupting the signals between targeted nerves and muscles, preventing them from contracting. The safe, effective procedure can be used to successfully address the appearance of:
- Glabella lines: “frown lines” that develop between the eyebrows
- Forehead lines: horizontal lines on the upper forehead
- Crow’s feet: fine lines that appear outside the corners of the eyes
- Bunny lines: lines on either side of the nose
Injections are quick and easy. Treatment sessions typically last about 15-20 minutes and results can last up to four months before the effects start to fade and repeat treatment is necessary to maintain your results.
