Botox, Dysport, & Xeomin Overview

What are Botox and Dysport?

Botulinum toxin, whose trade names are better known as BOTOX® & DYSPORT®, is a purified toxin produced by bacteria that causes weakening and temporarily relaxes muscles. It has been used for over 30 years in the treatment of muscular problems in the eyes with great success.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted approval to administer BOTOX® & DYSPORT® for the temporary improvement of facial expression lines in adult men and women. Dr. Berman likes to have multiple options for treating facial expression lines. During your consultation, he can recommend which injectable is right for you.

Who Is a Candidate for Botox and Dysport?

Candidates for a neuromodulator injectable like BOTOX or DYSPORT are those who experience fine lines and wrinkles caused or worsened by facial expressions.

These typically occur in the upper face in the forehead, outer corners of the eyes, and between the brows. The formula that’s right for you will be determined during your consultation in Boca Raton.

How Is Botox and Dysport Treatment Performed?

Tiny amounts of BOTOX® or DYSPORT® are injected into each of 5 points between and above the eyebrow with a fine needle into the muscle that creates a wrinkle. Frown lines, the lines between your eyebrows, crow's feet, the lines around the eyes, and horizontal forehead lines are the areas most commonly injected. As the muscle weakens, it relaxes, causing the wrinkles in the skin to gradually soften and often disappear.

The effects of BOTOX® or DYSPORT® usually last three to five months, at which time another injection is needed. After several treatments, the effects of BOTOX® or DYSPORT® may begin to last longer, sometimes up to eight months. BOTOX® or DYSPORT® are the most popular cosmetic mini-treatments today.

This procedure can be done on a lunch break and only takes 10 to 20 minutes, and requires no recovery time. Overall, the vast majority of patients love this quick-fix therapy and return for a Boca Raton BOTOX® or DYSPORT® boost as soon as the wrinkles begin to reappear!

Botox works by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. This softens the appearance of lines and helps prevent them from becoming deeper over time.

Botox is commonly used to treat forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, and crow's feet. It can also be used for concerns such as excessive sweating and chronic migraines.

What should I avoid after Botox?

For the first 24 hours, avoid strenuous exercise, rubbing the treated areas, and lying flat for several hours after treatment unless otherwise instructed by your provider.

Dysport Frequently Asked Questions

Can Dysport be used on forehead?

Dysport is perfect for reducing the appearance of wrinkles on the forehead. This injectable treatment works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause horizontal forehead lines and other dynamic wrinkles. By targeting these specific muscles, Dysport can smooth and soften the skin's appearance, providing a more youthful and refreshed look.

Can I shower after Dysport?

Yes, you can shower after receiving a Dysport treatment, but it is recommended to wait at least four to six hours before doing so. This waiting period allows the product to settle properly in the targeted areas. When you do shower, it is important to use lukewarm water and avoid applying high pressure or excessive rubbing to the treated areas. Hot showers should be avoided for at least 24 hours to minimize any potential side effects and ensure optimal results.

Can I sleep on my side after Dysport?

After receiving Dysport injections, it is generally recommended to avoid lying down flat or sleeping on your side for at least four to six hours. This precaution helps prevent the product from migrating to unintended areas, which could diminish the desired effects or lead to unintended side effects. For optimal results, it's best to plan your injections at a time when you can remain upright for a few hours post-treatment.

Can I wear makeup after Dysport?

It's recommended to wait at least 4 to 6 hours post-injection before applying makeup to allow the product to settle properly and reduce the risk of irritation or infection. When applying makeup, use clean brushes or applicators and gentle, non-comedogenic products that won't clog pores or cause irritation. Additionally, avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area to prevent shifting the Dysport from its intended injection site.

Does Botox last longer than Dysport?

While the effects of both Botox and Dysport are similar, their duration may vary slightly from person to person. Generally, Botox and Dysport results typically last about 3 to 4 months.

How long after Dysport can I wash my face?

After receiving a Dysport injection, it is recommended to wait at least 4 to 6 hours before washing your face. This time frame helps ensure that the product settles into the muscle properly without being disturbed. When you do wash your face, use a gentle cleanser and lukewarm water, avoiding any vigorous rubbing or massaging of the treated area. Additionally, it's best to refrain from using any exfoliants or harsh skincare products immediately after the procedure to minimize any potential irritation.

How often should I get Dysport?

Generally, Dysport injections are administered every three to four months to maintain smoothness and relaxation in the treated areas. Regular treatments help maintain the desired aesthetic results, though some individuals might find they need injections more or less frequently based on their muscle activity and personal goals.

How quickly does Dysport work?

After receiving a Dysport injection, many people begin to see results as quickly as 2 to 3 days post-treatment. This fast-acting nature makes Dysport an attractive option for those seeking quick improvements.
