Botox-The In's & Out's

Botox is popularly known as a cosmetic dermatology treatment to aid patients with wrinkles and fine lines. Botox can also be used to treat TMJ, excessive sweating, and even migraines.  

Why You Might Consider Botox 

Botox is an FDA approved non invasive treatment where botulinum toxin Type A is injected into muscles and glands. Botox and Dysport are used to combat signs of aging by freezing muscle movement and blocking the nerve signals that allow muscles to contract.  

Wrinkles around the mouth, eyes and forehead are commonly treated through Botox and Dysport.  Botox and Dysport are a fast and easy injectable that take only 15-30 minutes with little to no downtime.  

How Quickly Does It Work?

After the procedure, patients will likely see the decreased mobility and softened lines and wrinkles within 4-7 days.  Botox and Dysport does wear off gradually in three to four months. In order to maintain the original effects, its important for the patient to routinely get Botox and Dysport injections. Both Dysport and Botox are neurotoxins that we fade over time.
