Botox and Dysport

Botox® and Dysport® are similar products which provide a quick, safe, and proven way to drastically decrease facial wrinkles and lines. Facial wrinkles can occur when we use our muscles to form facial expressions like squinting, laughing, smiling, or furrowing our brows. When we are young our skin springs back as we express ourselves, but as we get older wrinkles remain and become static even when the face is at rest. The remaining lines, folds, and wrinkles may make us look anxious, worried, tired, or angry even when we are not.

Botox® and Dysport® treatments create younger, more vibrant looking skin by decreasing facial lines and wrinkles. Both treatments are injected into the skin, relaxing wrinkle-causing muscles and creating a rejuvenated appearance. The results of treatments last three to four months, are visible within five days of treatment, and can be repeated effectively when the results eventually fade. 

Botox® was approved for use in 2002 and Dysport® more recently in 2009. In the decade since these treatments were introduced, their popularity has increased immensely; every year, over 6 million women ask their doctors about treatment with Botox.
