BOTOX® is a purified protein that, when injected into muscle, temporarily relaxes and reduces the look of fine lines and wrinkles. It is ideal for frown lines, forehead creases and crow’s feet. It also safely and effectively treats excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) of the hands, feet and underarms. This procedure is a quick and simple way to look and feel younger in only a matter of days. The recommended number of treatments varies from patient to patient. The treatment interval varies from patient to patient, but one can expect anywhere from 3-4 months. There is no downtime.
DYSPORT® is the newest injectable in the U.S. market. It treats deep lines and wrinkles by immobilizing muscles, similar to Botox. Developed in the United Kingdom in the early ’90s, Dysport has been used overseas for many years. Dysport was approved by the Federal Drug Administration in April 2009 for the treatment of head-and-neck muscle spasms and deep lines between the eyebrows.

Dysport is made from the same botulinum toxin Type A as Botox and is injected in the same way as Botox. Both work by temporarily immobilizing muscles, which reduces lines and furrows. Both are injected around expression lines — the creases caused by frowning, scowling, smiling or looking surprised — to diminish their appearance or keep them from forming. The recommended number of treatments varies from patient to patient. The treatment interval varies from patient to patient, but one can expect anywhere from 3-4 months. There is no downtime.
