Facial wrinkles are one of the earliest and most visible signs of aging. They can develop as early as your late 20s due to a variety of factors, including sun exposure, smoking, and genetics as the skin loses collagen, elasticity, and moisture. These factors contribute to the development of facial wrinkles on the forehead, mouth, and around the eyes.
At our office, led by Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthew H. Steele, our team of aestheticians offers neuromodulators to treat the formation of dynamic wrinkles. BOTOX Cosmetic® and Dysport® in Parker County can relax facial lines and wrinkles caused by squinting, smiling, and frowning.
BOTOX Cosmetic® works to prevent your muscles from causing facial wrinkles or folds. The lack of muscular movement stops the overlying skin from forming wrinkles. Dysport works similarly, keeping your skin smooth.
One of the key advantages of these injectables is in the specificity of the treatment areas. Both BOTOX® and Dysport® target only the muscle where it is injected and not the surrounding muscles. This makes these treatments popular for treating wrinkles caused by facial expressions, such as horizontal forehead lines, furrows, or creases, the “11” lines between your eyes, frown lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet, and other wrinkles created by raising your eyebrows, squinting, smiling, frowning, or pursing your lips.
During your Parker County consultation for BOTOX® and Dysport®, Licensed Aesthetician and Certified Injector Jennifer Geyer can help determine which treatment will best fit your aesthetic goals.
Both treatments feature the same ingredient and mechanism of action, but BOTOX Cosmetic® and Dysport® are slightly different.
The first major difference is their formulation. Dysport is far more diluted than BOTOX® and has a different molecular behavior, which cause Dysport® to spread faster over a large surface area. Even though both treatments are well-suited for the treatment of wrinkles, they are best used for different applications.
For example, Dysport® works well on larger surface areas, such as forehead wrinkles, including the “11” lines. BOTOX® does not spread as fast, so it works better for more precise treatments on smaller surface areas, such as lip lines and crow’s feet.
In the hands of a licensed esthetician, both BOTOX® and Dysport® can produce outstanding results. However, when misused, these treatments will not produce the desired results and could even harm you. That is why it is important to obtain your BOTOX® and Dysport® treatments from a qualified specialist in Parker County who knows which option is best for your needs.
Your injection treatment will be tailored to meet your specific needs. Your appointment with Mrs. Geyer will begin with an assessment of your medical history and current health status, and an evaluation of the target injection site. Once the appropriate injection site is identified, the area will be thoroughly cleansed to minimize the risk of infection. Next, using a sterile syringe and needle, the BOTOX Cosmetic® or Dysport® will be administered, using techniques that minimize discomfort. Finally, Mrs. Geyer will provide post-injection care instructions to help you optimize your results.
The time it takes for you to see your results will vary based on individual factors. However, most patients will see their BOTOX® results between three to seven days. Dysport tends to work even faster and may be an option for patients who want to see their results sooner. You will notice the full effect after approximately two weeks.
Both BOTOX® and Dysport® typically offer results that last anywhere from three to four months. The exact duration of your treatment results can vary depending on individual factors such as metabolism, muscle activity, and age.
Our BOTOX Cosmetic® and Dysport® neuromodulator treatments can help you relax facial wrinkles caused by muscle movement, like glabellar lines, nasolabial folds, and wrinkles around the forehead, eyes, nose, and mouth. Each of these FDA-approved procedures is safe, quick, suitable for almost every patient, and requires almost no downtime.
