Botox & Dysport in Beverly Hills, CA

How do Botox and Dysport injections work?

Botox and Dysport are two types of injectables consisting of botulinum toxin type A, which targets one of the underlying causes of wrinkles: the repeated facial muscle contractions that express emotions. When you frown, concentrate, or even laugh, the facial muscles contract, causing your skin to furrow and fold. Injections of Botox and Dysport work by blocking the nerve signals to the targeted muscles. Without a signal, the muscles cannot contract. This in turn smooths out the overlying wrinkles.

Botox and Dysport Initial Consultation

Before a Botox or Dysport treatment at Enhance® Medical Center, you will confer with one of our specialists, who will analyze your face and define focal areas for your treatment. Our specialist will then inject these overactive muscles to temporarily reduce activity. The process takes about 10 minutes.

We offer complimentary numbing for your comfort; however, some patients report that being injected with Botox and Dysport feels just like a pinch. After treatment, you will soon see visible smoothing of your crow’s feet and frown lines.

What Concerns Do Botox & Dysport Address?

Botox and Dysport can target crow’s feet, smile lines, frown lines, TMJ, TMD, bruxism, and even migraines. It can contour the jaw, refresh a tired face, and lift the brows.

How Do Botox & Dysport Differ From Fillers?

Both Botox/Dysport and fillers smooth and refresh the face, but these FDA-approved injectables differ in a few key ways. Botox and Dysport are great for targeting crease points and work by paralyzing the muscles. Fillers are best for deep lines present even when facial muscles contract. While both Botox/Dysport and fillers are commonly used together, they work differently and are used on different lines. Fillers last about nine to 12 months, while BOTOX and Dysport typically wear off after three to six months.

What are the benefits of Botox and Dysport?

Botox and Dysport offer a number of benefits. As non-surgical treatments, Botox and Dysport do not require surgery, incisions, lengthy doctor visits or extended downtime.

And compared to surgical procedures like facelift and eyelid surgery, the price of Botox and Dysport is extremely reasonable.
