BOTOX®
We carry BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport®
Neurotoxins, also known as neuromodulators, are substances that block nerve signals to muscles, temporarily reducing muscle activity and softening fine lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions.
FAQ's
What is the difference between BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport®?
While all neurotoxins are used to reduce wrinkles, they differ slightly in their composition and how they interact with the body, potentially affecting the duration and speed of results. Botox spreads less than Dysport – and the more the product spreads, the more units you will need in the injected area.
How soon will I see results?
Dysport may show results sooner, sometimes within 2-3 days, while Botox may take 3-7 days for initial effects. Full effects of Botox can take anywhere from 10-14 days. The timeline can vary depending on the type of neurotoxin used, individual metabolism, and the targeted areas.
Can I combine neurotoxins with other cosmetic procedures?
Yes, neurotoxins can be combined with other treatments like dermal fillers and VI Peel.
How long do neurotoxins last?
The effects of neurotoxin injections typically last 3-4 months, but individual results may vary. To maintain results, most patients undergo repeated injections every 3-6 months.
Are neurotoxins safe?
Neurotoxin injections are safe and reliable when performed by a qualified practitioner. Side effects are rare and usually mild. They may include injection-site bruising, redness, pain, minor swelling, numbness, and headache.
