What Are BOTOX and Dysport?
The formulas for both BOTOX and Dysport contain a diluted form of botulinum toxin. While the word “toxin” might seem scary, there is no need to be alarmed. When properly used, this substance has a powerful anti-aging effect. It works by reducing muscle movements in the face, which can significantly reduce the appearance of movement-based wrinkles.
BOTOX and Dysport are both very effective, but their formulas and prices are slightly different. During your consultation, we can determine which one is best for you based on your needs and circumstances.
Who Is a Good Candidate for BOTOX or Dysport?
You might be a good candidate for BOTOX or Dysport if:
- You are in your late 20s or older and are looking to prevent and/or reduce movement-based wrinkles. (Wrinkles caused by gravity or sun exposure are not treatable with BOTOX and Dysport).
- You want to reduce the appearance of:
- Crow’s feet
- Lines between the eyebrows
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Smoker’s lines around the lips
- Lines around the corners of your mouth
- You do not have any allergies or other medical conditions that would make BOTOX or Dysport unsafe for you.
The Benefits of BOTOX and Dysport
Some benefits of these cosmetic treatments include:
- The treatment is fast and easy. Administering BOTOX and Dysport takes just a few minutes, and no downtime is required afterward.
- The results are natural-looking. We carefully carry out injections so the results do not look fake or overdone.
- The results can last for months. Both treatments last 3 – 4 months on average.
- You will notice improvements quickly. Dysport tends to take effect a bit more quickly than BOTOX, but both treatments tend to work within a week or two.
- You can save money. BOTOX and Dysport are both much more affordable than more invasive cosmetic treatments.
BOTOX FAQs
How Is Dysport® Different from BOTOX®?
Both Dysport and BOTOX injections contain botulinum toxin and smooth out wrinkles by reducing facial muscle movements. The main difference between the two is the ratio of botulinum toxin used. Dysport has less botulinum toxin than BOTOX – but that doesn’t make it less effective.
In fact, because it’s more diluted, Dysport spreads more easily than BOTOX. This makes it particularly effective for treating larger “wrinkle zones” like the forehead.
Rest assured, our team will take factors like this into consideration when recommending a cosmetic treatment plan.
How Can I Prolong My BOTOX® and Dysport® Injections?
Because they have similar formulas, you can prolong BOTOX and Dysport injections in much the same way. Overall, the best way to maintain your treatment results is to take good care of your skin! Here’s what we would recommend:
- Avoid sun damage – BOTOX and Dysport don’t work well against wrinkles caused by sun damage, and the damage to your skin can trigger an inflammatory response that will break down the BOTOX and Dysport proteins faster.
- Stick to low-intensity workouts – High-intensity workouts raise your metabolic rate and can “flush” BOTOX and Dysport out of your system more quickly than low-intensity workouts.
- Reduce stress levels as much as possible – Stress can make you tense. The pressure applied to your muscles will directly counteract the effects of BOTOX and Dysport. When stress is unavoidable, try to relax your muscles through gentle stretching.
- Moisturize your skin – The right moisturizer for you will ultimately depend on your skin type, but generally speaking, they’re good at slowing the rate at which BOTOX and Dysport break down.
- Don’t use nicotine – Smoking and vaping reduce collagen levels, damage skin cells, and reduce the effectiveness of BOTOX and Dysport. Plus, nicotine can create fine lines around the mouth and eyes that future injections can’t fix.
Can BOTOX® and Dysport® Damage My Face?
The effects of BOTOX and Dysport have been studied for decades, and they’re both considered to be safe, low-risk wrinkle treatments. Of course, if you’re thinking about getting BOTOX or Dysport in Owasso, it’s important to make sure you visit a skilled injector. When applied improperly, BOTOX and Dysport can cause droopy eyelids, crooked smiles, or mild muscle weakness. These negative side-effects are rare and usually temporary, but it’s best to avoid them altogether!
Will My Wrinkles Get Worse If I Stop Using BOTOX® or Dysport®?
No. Actually, some experts say that BOTOX and Dysport help improve their patients’ skin for quite a while after just one treatment. Prolonged treatments can retrain facial muscles so that they’re more resistant to pinching in ways that encourage wrinkles. At the very least, your skin will look the same as before you started BOTOX or Dysport – not worse.
