Botox® and Dysport® Therapy
OnabotulinumtoxinA (Botox®) and AbobotulinumtoxinA (Dysport®) have been used safely and effectively for over 20 years to treat the visual signs of aging by reducing or removing wrinkles. The procedure is considered a safe and effective way of treating aging skin. Common areas for botulinum injections include horizontal forehead furrows or vertical "frown-lines" between the eyebrows and "crow's feet" around the eyes. A mini "brow-lift" can also be acheived, as well as many other enhancements to your facial expression.

General Procedure
The procedure works by altering the facial muscles beneath the skin that are related to wrinkles. Typically a small amount (1-2 cc’s) of Botox® / Dysport® is injected into the area of the wrinkle using a very small needle, similar to those used by diabetics. The medicine works by blocking the impulses from the nerve to the facial muscles, thereby relaxing them. The result is a physical relaxation the underlying facial muscles relax and the skin begins to smooth out. The entire procedure takes about 10-15 minutes. The effects of an Botox® / Dysport® treatment will last approximately three to four months after which the patient may choose to repeat the procedure.
