Types of Injectable Wrinkle Relaxers
Botox
Botox has a long-standing reputation, backed by decades of effective use in treating wrinkles, muscle spasms, and a variety of medical conditions. Its extensive research and numerous clinical studies ensure its safety and efficacy, making it a trusted choice for cosmetic and therapeutic applications.
Dysport
Dysport offers a unique approach to botulinum toxin treatments, distinguished by its specific formulation and properties. Known for its ability to spread more easily in larger areas, Dysport provides a versatile solution for targeting broader zones with fewer injections.

Which is the best for me?
Botox
Complexing Proteins:
Botox contains complexing proteins that surround the neurotoxin. These proteins help the effects of the toxin last longer by clumping together.
Dispersion:
Once injected, Botox spreads under the skin about the size of a penny. This moderate dispersion allows for precise targeting of fine lines and wrinkles.
Onset of Results:
Most patients begin to notice the effects of Botox within 4-5 days post-treatment. However, it can sometimes take longer than a week to see the complete results. We recommend scheduling a follow-up appointment 2 weeks after your injection to ensure optimal outcomes.
Who Should Avoid:
Botox is generally safe for most patients, but those with specific allergies to the additive proteins should consult with our team before treatment.
Dysport
Complexing Proteins:
Similar to Botox, Dysport has complexing proteins that enhance the duration of its effects. However, patients with specific egg or lactose protein allergies should avoid Dysport due to the presence of allergen proteins.
Dispersion:
Dysport spreads the most under the skin, approximately the size of a quarter. This increased dispersion means more units are typically needed in the injected area, but it can effectively cover larger treatment zones.
Onset of Results:
Many of our Dysport patients notice results within 2-3 days post-treatment. Although individual experiences vary, the quicker onset is a notable benefit for those seeking faster improvements.
Who Should Avoid:
Patients with egg or lactose protein allergies should avoid Dysport due to the potential for an allergic reaction.
