Question 1

What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?

Accepted Answer

Both Botox and Dysport are wrinkle-relaxing injections that smooth lines by relaxing facial muscles. Dysport tends to work slightly faster and can spread more easily across larger areas, making it ideal for broad regions like the forehead. Both last about 3–4 months, and your provider will help determine which is best for your goals.

Question 2

How does it work?

Accepted Answer

Wrinkle relaxers (Botox/Dysport): Relax targeted facial muscles to soften fine lines and prevent new wrinkles.
Dermal fillers (Restylane): Add volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours using hyaluronic acid, a naturally occurring substance in your skin.

Question 3

What areas/concerns are treated?

Accepted Answer

Wrinkle relaxers: Forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow’s feet around the eyes.
Restylane: Lips, cheeks, nasolabial folds (smile lines), under-eye hollows, and other areas that need volume or smoothing.

Question 4

What can I expect during treatment?

Accepted Answer

Your provider will carefully inject the product into the targeted areas. Treatments are quick, precise, and comfortable. Numbing options are available for fillers if needed.
