The cosmetic form of botulinum toxin, is a non-surgical procedure that temporarily reduces or eliminates frown lines, forehead creases, crows feet near the eyes and thick bands in the neck. The toxin blocks the nerve impulses, temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles while giving the skin a smoother, more refreshed appearance. Studies have also suggested that BOTOX®/DYSPORT® is effective in relieving migraine headaches, excessive sweating and muscle spasms in the neck and eyes.

What is BOTOX® Cosmetic/DYSPORT®?

BOTOX® Cosmetic/DYSPORT® is a simple, non-surgical, physician-administered treatment that smoothes moderate to severe frown lines between the brows. Both BOTOX®/DYSPORT® are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

One 10-minute treatment-a few tiny injections-and within days there's a noticeable improvement in those persistent lines between the brows, which can last up to 4 months. It has been reported in the clinical literature that Dysport® may have a faster onset of action and may last longer. It may also have a ‘spreading’ effect which might be useful in some treatment areas (e.g., the neck).

BOTOX® Cosmetic/DYSPORT® is a purified protein produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria, which reduces the activity of the muscles that cause those frown lines between the brows to form over time.

What is a BOTOX®/DYSPORT® Treatment like?

BOTOX® Cosmetic/DYSPORT® is a simple and safe procedure. Using a tiny micro-needle, a very small amount of the toxin is injected, very precisely, into several locations on the face. No sedation or local anesthetic is required, and you can resume normal activities immediately. You can even have it done on your lunch break!

BOTOX®/DYSPORT® for Excessive Sweating

Are you embarrassed by underarm perspiration? Do you want to be able to take off your jacket without fear of sweat circles showing up on your shirt or blouse? Do antiperspirants and deodorants not work well enough for you? Stop sweating it!

BOTOX®/DYSPORT® have been shown in several medical studies to be very effective in stopping underarm sweating by blocking the nervous system stimulation of the sweat glands in the armpits. It is directly injected into the skin in the area that is sweating excessively. After a few days, significant and often dramatic reduction in sweating is seen in many patients. The duration of effect lasts on average 4-6 months, but some patients get up to a year of reduced sweating from an injection.
