BOTOX TREATMENTS
How does Botox work?
Botox injections obstruct specific chemical signals originating from nerves, which trigger muscle contractions. This prevents the injected muscle from contracting, leading to muscle relaxation and reduced wrinkles.
RESTYLANE FOR TAMPA RESIDENTS
Similar to Botox, Restylane is administered through fine needles to ensure a painless and straightforward experience. Various Restylane treatments are available, catering to different desired results and personal objectives.
Restylane injections are virtually pain-free, thanks to the utilization of fine needles. Coupled with a topical numbing agent, the injection process is virtually imperceptible. The treatment itself is swift, so any fleeting discomfort experienced, even without numbing, is short-lived.
Immediate results characterize Restylane treatment, enabling you to leave the appointment with a clear picture of the treatment’s impact. With no mandatory rest or downtime, Restylane offers a hassle-free solution.
DYSPORT FOR TAMPA RESIDENTS
Dysport specifically addresses forehead creases and Glabellar lines between brows. If your aim is to treat these types of forehead lines or wrinkles, Dysport presents a compelling choice.
For those seeking natural-looking results, Dysport offers immediate, authentic outcomes. Effects can endure for up to five months, making it suitable for newcomers seeking to gauge the treatment’s impact.

Botox vs. Dysport
Botox treatments and Dysport are both very similar. They are both Type A botulinum neuromodulators and work by blocking the nerve signals that tell a muscle to contract. Despite how similar the two may be, they do have their differences that are worth noting.
Dysport is mainly used to treat Glabellar lines between your eyebrows. While it can be used for other facial wrinkles and fine lines, it will not necessarily work better than Botox would.
Botox, on the other hand, has been approved to be used as a treatment for a variety of conditions, including wrinkles and fine lines. Botox is used on all types of wrinkles all over the face and works best for mild to moderate wrinkles.
In terms of how soon you’ll see results, Dysport is quicker. With almost immediate results, Dysport gives you an accurate picture of the results right after your appointment and may continue to improve for up to two days afterwards. On the other hand, Botox will start showing results over a two-week period, after which you’ll see the final results.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is botox?
Botox® is a cosmetic injectable that is injected into the muscles to soften movement and action to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
What is dysport?
Dysport® is an alternative cosmetic injectable to BOTOX that reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other skin imperfections that appear with age.
How does botox /dysport work?
Botox /Dysport is injected directly into the muscles on the patient’s affected areas to effectively block the nerve signals being transmitted along the nervous fibers that signal the muscles in these areas to contract.
How long does botox /dysport last?
A Botox /Dysport treatment typically lasts about 3 to 6 months. As muscle action slowly returns, the lines and wrinkles begin to reappear and need to be treated again. The lines and wrinkles often appear less severe with time because the muscles are shrinking.
Are there any side effects with botox /dysport?
You may see slight swelling or redness around the injection sites, which fades quickly. You only have a few of restrictions: Do not massage the area treated, no strenuous exercise for 24 hours, no hot sun, saunas or excessive heat for 72 hours, and avoid alcohol and salty foods to limit swelling. Botox carries some risk of bruising around the injection site.
How can I prepare for botox?
It’s best to avoid alcohol starting at least 1 week before the procedure. You should also stop taking aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications 2 weeks before treatment to help prevent bruising.
Is botox /dysport painful?
Some may say that it is mildly uncomfortable upon injection, however other patients report that they don’t feel the treatment being administered. Some areas tend to be more sensitive than others.
Who should not get botox /dysport?
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or allergic to any of the ingredients, you are not a candidate.
What should I expect after a botox /dysport treatment?
The results appear in about 7 to 14 days, so if you have an upcoming event and want to look your best, plan your treatment at least two weeks in advance. When treating fine lines and wrinkles, a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles should result once the treatment takes effect. Follow up or alternative treatments may be necessary if further correction is desired.
Avoid rubbing the injection site for 24 hours so you don’t spread the Botox to another area. Your doctor may also tell you to stay upright for 4 hours after the shots and to take a day off from exercising.
