Botulinum toxin injections, such as Botox and Dysport, are used to reverse and prevent wrinkles and fine lines that develop due to the repetitive contraction of facial muscles.
When injected, these treatments temporarily relax chronically tensed muscles in the treated area, preventing them from contracting and causing or deepening fine lines and wrinkles. Specifically, botulinum toxins are popularly used to treat frown lines, drooping brows, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet.
Botox and Dysport, while similar, do have unique characteristics that may make one treatment more beneficial than the other depending on each patient’s specific needs.
Botox is used to prevent and treat mild to moderate signs of aging in the forehead, brow area, and around the eyes. The treatment takes about 30 minutes, and also uses numbing cream to reduce discomfort during injections. Full results may be seen 1 to 2 weeks following treatment, and results last for several months.
