Many facial wrinkles are the result of nerve cells that have been conditioned to tell muscles to contract. Because we so often contract muscles in the forehead, around the eyes, and around the mouth, the nerves begin telling the muscles to remain contracted. Dysport and BOTOX block these signals from the nerves, allowing the muscles to relax and smoothing the wrinkles that they cause. Habitual muscle contractions are blocked, but after a short time the nerve extends new branches to the muscle that allow for voluntary muscle contraction, so you don’t lose expressiveness in treated areas.
WHAT IS BOTOX® COSMETIC OR DYSPORT?
WHEN WILL I SEE RESULTS?
You may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours, with results lasting up to 4 months for moderate to severe frown lines.
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT? DOES TREATMENT HURT?
Some patients report that being injected with BOTOX® or Dysport feels like a pinch. Your specialist may use ice to numb the treatment area. If you are concerned about discomfort, your specialist can instead apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment.
HOW LONG IS THE RECOVERY TIME AFTER TREATMENT?
Treatment requires minimal downtime. So you can return to your daily routine immediately after you leave your specialist’s office.
