Botox & Other Neuromodulators Injections

What are Botox and Dysport?

Botox and Dysport are purified proteins derived from the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. When injected into your facial muscles, these amazing formulas can smooth out wrinkles by controlling muscle activity in specific areas. Both Botox and Dysport are temporary treatments that harmlessly wear off over time. 

Other products that combat forehead lines and wrinkles with botulinum toxin type A include Xeomin® and DAXXIFY®.

Xeomin uses its proprietary XTRACT Technology™ to double-filter the toxin, optimizing purity and performance. DAXXIFY is the only treatment for frown lines that uses a novel peptide rather than animal byproducts as a stabilizer.

Where can you inject Botox and Dysport?

Although the formulas are similar, there are some mild differences in Botox and Dysport’s injection areas. At this time, Dysport is FDA-approved for injection in your glabellar lines (also known as 11 lines or frown lines) between your eyebrows. Botox is FDA-approved for injection in your glabellar lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet. 

 Are Botox and Dysport dermal fillers?

Botox and Dysport aren't dermal fillers like Juvéderm® and Restylane®. Instead, they're in a class called neuromodulators. Dermal fillers erase the smile lines and resolve other volume problems from under your eyes to your chin. 

Botox and Dysport smooth the wrinkles around your eyes and upwards, including your forehead. Botox and Dysport don't impact facial volume, and dermal fillers don't impact muscle movement. Although dermal fillers and neuromodulators are different, they work together well, and you can have both treatments at once if you wish. 

When will I see results after Botox or Dysport treatment?

Generally, most patients see results within three days. As the injectable takes effect, you'll notice you look fresher and younger.  

Do Botox and Dysport hurt?

No, most patients rate Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, and DAXXIFY treatment as virtually pain-free. Your City Laser Clinic specialist injects the product with extremely tiny needles, so a brief sting is all you're likely to experience. The injections take only around 10 minutes, and any discomfort fades quickly.

How long do Botox and Dysport last?

Botox and Xeomin can last up to four months, and Dysport up to five months. DAXXIFY can last up to six months, however each patient responds to neuromodulators differently, so you may experience differing results with any of these products. 

Botox and Dysport can help you look younger in as little as a few days, with no downtime at all. Call City Laser Clinic today or book your consultation online to get your treatment.
