Quick, practically painless and no downtime! A pure form of botulinum toxin injected into key muscles surrounding the eyes and forehead relaxes the muscles and reduces wrinkles in motion. Patients who looked tired or angry from frown lines and crow's feet see remarkable improvements. No other treatment can give these results.

Why do we get wrinkles?

The lines that appear between your brows (frown lines) and around your eyes (crow's feet) actually result from muscle movement and the passage of time.

After years of crinkling and wrinkling, those frown lines and crow's feet start to linger longer and become more pronounced. We encourage men and women to start low dose Botox Cosmetic before wrinkles start, to prevent them.

Treatments to the frown lines, crow's feet or forehead are the most common, but other areas of the face can be treated as well. Treatment with BOTOX Cosmetic can visibly smooth and soften these wrinkles in most cases. An improvement can be seen within days and lasts up to 3-4 months, although results may vary.

Dysport®

What is Dysport?

Prescription Dysport is an injection used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults less than 65 years of age.

Dysport is a purified formulation that has been shown to deliver temporary improvements in moderate to severe frown lines, even with repeat treatments. So, the effect of repeat treatment withDysport may be comparable to your first use.*

*In clinical trials, the efficacy of Dysport was studied in a total of 376 patients and was demonstrated with up to 4 repeated treatments. The safety of Dysport has been studied in up to 12 repeated treatments.

Frown lines 101: What causes them?

Over time, repeated movement of the facial skin by the muscles forms frown lines between the eyebrows.

Wrinkles are not only age related. Frown lines are "dynamic" — they happen because of the way a person's face moves. Because frown lines are created by facial movements such as frowning or squinting, they may develop even in younger adults. Dysport is used to treat moderate to severe frown lines in adult patients less than 65 years of age.

The muscles above and between the eyebrows contract and tighten, and can cause wrinkles. Dysport blocks the nerve signal that causes these facial muscles to contract. This ultimately results in a localized reduction of muscle activity in the treated area and temporarily stops the contraction of these muscles.
