About the procedure

A very small amount of BOTOX or Dysport (a purified toxin produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum), is injected into the muscle, causing weakness and relaxation of the muscle, improving the appearance of lines or wrinkles that the muscle action has formed.

Anticipated benefit

BOTOX or Dysport not only treats the lines you have, but also reverses then and prevents future lines from forming. Patients who begin a regimen of BOTOX or Dysport early on are able to stop wrinkles and creases from developing during the duration of treatment. For those who begin later, after signs fo wrinkles and creases exist, the results is a softening and relaxation of the facial area—and a halting of additional damage while treatment continues.

Elizabeth can target specific facial areas to lift eyebrows, soften forehead lines, or diminish crow’s feet for a relazed, more youthful appearance.

Length of results

Each individual is different, but response is typically seen within 1-2 weeks after injection. Usually, the muscle action (and wrinkles and creases) will return within 3-4 months. At his point, a repeat treatment will relax the muscle and soften the lines again.

Risks and complications to consider

Possible side effects include transient headache, swelling, bruising, pain during injection, twitching, numbness, asymmetry (unevenness), temporary drooping of eyelids, or eyebrows. These side effects are rare but have been reported. In a very small number of individuals, the injection does not work as satisfactorily or for as long as usual.

Follow-up visit

Elizabeth may recommend a follow-up appointment to return 2 weeks after your treatment.
