Cosmetic Injections

BOTOX®

BBOTOX® Cosmetic is a physician administered treatment which involves the injection of a highly purified protein known as botulinum a toxin protein refined from the bacterium, clostridum botulinum. It targets underlying causes of frown lines and crow’s feet. Our injector will provide a thorough consultation to evaluate your patterns of facial expressions and looks for moderate to severe facial lines caused by the action of these muscles. The location, size and action of the muscles that create these “wrinkles” will vary among each individual. The objective is to create a youthful, more relaxed appearance.

DYSPORT

What is Dysport?

Dysport is a medically derived subunit of “botulinum” toxin called “abobotuliunum” toxin. This acts as a “chemodenervation” agent, which means that it weakens the muscles into which it is placed. The precise placement of Dysport into specific areas of the face will improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?

Since both Dysport and Botox treat dynamic wrinkles through “chemodenervation” their results are very similar. However, there are potential benefits to both products. Experienced with both Botox and Dysport, our doctor will help you select which product will be best for you.

Areas that can be treated with BOTOX/DYSPORT include:

  • Glabella/frown lines (area between the brows)
  • Horizontal forehead lines
  • Bunny lines (wrinkles on top of your nose)
  • Crow’s feet
  • Peri-oral lines (around the mouth)
  • Brow lift (Botox can be injected above the outer area of the brow to create a lifting effect)
  • Gummy smile reduction or correction
