Botox and Dysport have fantastic results in reducing facial lines across the forehead and around the eyes.

The controversy over which product (Botox vs Dysport) gives better or longer lasting results are many and quite varied. In polling numerous of my facial patients, Dysport seems to be slightly less tender on injection and have a shorter onset than my Botox patients. Many of my Botox clients tell me that they feel the Botox lasted longer on them than the Dysport treatment. There is no proof to any of these claims by my patients, so I offer both products.

Botox and Dysport stop your muscles from moving by blocking the nerve impulses so the muscles never get the ‘message’ to contract causing wrinkles. This stops you from frowning or wrinkling the skin of your forehead, in between your eyebrows or around your eyes (depending on where you have the Botox or Dysport injected). The muscles may take one to fourteen days to be completely paralyzed. Generally, the duration of the effects of the treatment lasts for 3-4 months.
