Botox

What is Botox Cosmetic and How Does It Work?

Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription medicine that is injected into muscles and used to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows in adults 18 to 65 years of age. It works by blocking nerve impulses to the injected muscles. This reduces muscle activity that causes those lines to form between the brows.

Why should I consider Botox cosmetic?

Years of squinting, concentrating, or frowning can cause your skin to furrow and crease. As time passes, your skin becomes less elastic and those moderate to severe frown lines between your brows remain, even when your muscles aren’t contracting. The moderate to severe frown lines between your brows that form are often referred to as your 1’s and may make you look angry and unapproachable.

Dysport

What is Dysport?

Approved in the United States in April 2009, Dysport has a history of use in other countries since 1991. Dysport is a purified protein formulation that has been shown to deliver temporary improvement in moderate to severe frown lines.

How does Dysport work?

With just 1 injection into each of the 5 points between and above the eyebrows, Dysport blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines.

Where is Dysport injected?

The untreated facial muscles contract normally, allowing you to freely show facial expressions, such as smiling, in untreated areas. You should not be treated with Dysport more frequently than every 90 days.
