What are Botox and Dysport?
Botox and Dysport are injectable treatments made from botulinum toxin type A. They are neuromodulators intended to relax facial muscles temporarily, which helps reduce the visibility of wrinkles and fine lines. Both treatments are popular for their effectiveness in creating a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance.
How do Botox and Dysport work?
Botox and Dysport work by blocking nerve signals to the muscles where they are injected. This prevents the muscles from contracting, which helps to smooth out wrinkles and lines caused by repetitive facial movements. The effects typically last three to four months for Botox and six months for Dysport, after which the treatment can be repeated.

How do I prepare for a Botox/Dysport treatment?
To prepare for a Botox or Dysport treatment, avoid consuming alcohol and taking blood-thinning medications, like aspirin or ibuprofen, for at least 24 hours before the procedure. This preparation helps minimize the risk of bruising at the injection sites.
How can I maintain the results of my Botox/Dysport treatment?
