What Concerns Do Botox® & Dysport® Address?

A Targeted Solution for Dynamic Wrinkles

Neuromodulators like Botox® and Dysport® are purified proteins that work by temporarily relaxing the specific facial muscles that cause wrinkles when you make expressions. By intercepting the signal between the nerve and the muscle, they prevent the muscle from contracting as forcefully, allowing the overlying skin to smooth out. This is not about freezing your face; it’s about softening expressions for a more rested and youthful appearance.

  • Forehead lines (horizontal)
  • Glabella lines (“11s” between the brows)
  • Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
  • Bunny lines (on the nose)
  • Lip flip
  • Masseter (jawline) slimming

The best part? It’s a quick, comfortable treatment with results that look naturally refreshed, never overdone.

What to Expect During Your Neuromodulator Treatment

Personalized, Professional, and Effective

Your Botox® or Dysport® appointment at Advanced Aesthetics is quick, simple, and straightforward.

  1. Before Treatment

    We will have you make a series of facial expressions to assess your muscle movement and determine the precise injection points.

  2. During Treatment

    The treatment involves a series of small, quick injections with a very fine needle. Most patients describe it as a tiny pinch that lasts only a second.

  3. After Treatment

    You may have small, temporary bumps at the injection sites, which typically disappear within 15-20 minutes. There is no real downtime.

  4. When Will I See Results?

    Results are not immediate. Dysport® may start to work in 2-3 days, while Botox® typically takes 5-7 days. Full results for both are visible at 14 days.

  5. Additional Benefits

    • Prevents new wrinkles from forming
    • Can provide a subtle brow lift
    • Softens a “gummy” smile
    • Can help with TMJ pain and teeth grinding (masseter treatment)
    • Quick and convenient “lunchtime” treatment
    • High patient satisfaction rate

Combining Neuromodulators with Other Treatments

Maximize Your Results

Neuromodulators address dynamic wrinkles caused by muscle movement, but they work best as part of a broader plan that also addresses volume, skin quality, and structural support. Popular combinations include:

  • Dermal FillersPair Botox or Dysport with hyaluronic acid fillers to relax dynamic lines while restoring lost volume, creating a complete non-surgical rejuvenation.
  • Collagen Induction TherapyCombine neuromodulators with microneedling to address both movement-related lines and overall skin texture in a single treatment plan.
  • Morpheus8Add RF microneedling to tighten skin and stimulate collagen while neuromodulators keep expression lines smooth.
  • Medical Grade PeelsImprove skin tone and surface clarity with a peel while neuromodulators address the lines that form with facial movement.

During your consultation, we'll assess your full facial picture and recommend a balanced combination that delivers natural, refreshed results without looking overdone.

Pre-Care & Aftercare

Simple Steps for Best Results

Neuromodulators are injectable treatments designed to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles, softening expression lines and preventing the formation of new wrinkles. For best results, please follow the aftercare instructions below carefully.

Do

  • Remain upright for at least 4 hours after treatment. This helps prevent the product from migrating to unintended areas.
  • Use the injected muscles periodically for the first few hours (e.g., raise eyebrows, frown, squint) to help activate the neuromodulator.
  • Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet to support overall wellness.
  • Return to your normal skincare routine after 24 hours, avoiding pressure on treated areas.
  • Follow up in 2 weeks if a touch-up or adjustment is needed (especially if this is your first treatment).

Avoid

  • Do not lie down or bend over for prolonged periods for at least 4 hours post-treatment.
  • Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours.
  • Do not apply makeup, creams, or pressure directly to the injection sites for at least 6 to 8 hours.
  • Avoid intense exercise, hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, or anything that causes excessive sweating for 24 hours.
  • No facials, massages, or skin treatments to the treated areas for at least 7 days.
  • Avoid alcohol consumption and blood-thinning medications (unless prescribed) for 24 hours post-injection to reduce bruising.

What to expect

  • You may notice small red bumps or swelling at the injection sites immediately after treatment. This usually resolves within 15 to 60 minutes.
  • Mild bruising or tenderness can occur and typically resolves in a few days.
  • Results begin to appear in 3 to 5 days, with full effect at 10 to 14 days.
  • Results typically last 3 to 4 months, depending on the product and individual response.

Contact us if you experience

  • Excessive or prolonged swelling, pain, or redness
  • Headache that worsens over time or visual disturbances
  • Drooping of the eyelid or uneven smile (temporary but worth reporting)
  • Any allergic reaction (rash, difficulty breathing, swelling of lips/tongue)

Frequently Asked Questions

Your Botox® & Dysport® Questions, Answered

What is the difference between Botox® and Dysport®?

They are very similar products. Dysport® has a slightly faster onset and may diffuse a bit more, making it great for larger areas like the forehead. We will choose the best one for you.

How long do the results last?

Results typically last 3-4 months. With consistent treatment, some patients find their results last longer.

Will I look frozen or unnatural?

No. Our expert injectors use a conservative approach to soften lines while preserving your natural facial expressions. Our goal is for you to look refreshed, not different.

Does it hurt?

The injections are very quick and use an ultra-fine needle. Most patients experience only a tiny, brief pinch and do not require any numbing cream.

How many units will I need?

The number of units depends on the treatment area and your muscle strength. We will provide a personalized assessment and quote during your consultation.

Is there an ideal age to start Botox®?

There is no ideal age. Many patients start in their late 20s or early 30s for “preventative” treatment, while others start when they are bothered by existing lines.

Pricing

We price our neuromodulator treatments by the unit to ensure you only pay for what you need. We will give you a precise quote during your consultation. Payment plans are available.
