What it is.

Botox/Dysport
Botox/Dysport

BOTOX Cosmetic is the world’s most commonly performed cosmetic procedure. It is used to improve the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by disrupting muscle activity.

We also offer Dysport at the Institute – it is another neurotoxin that is used to treat lines and wrinkles. We can discuss during a consultation what option might be best for you.

The most commonly treated areas are the frown lines aka “elevens”, forehead lines and crow’s feet.

How it works.

BOTOX Cosmetic and Dysport are quick 10-minute treatments that work beneath the surface to temporarily reduce the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults – to help them look better.

Some patients receiving BOTOX Cosmetic/Dyport report that the injections feel like a small pinch. You may begin to notice a visible smoothing of lines within 24 to 48 hours, with results lasting up to 3-5 months.

BOTOX Cosmetic/Dysport is not a permanent treatment. If you discontinue treatment, the moderate to severe lines will gradually return.
