Botox® or Dysport, known as neurotoxins, are anti-wrinkle injections that are effectively used for the treatment of facial wrinkles; mainly on the Forehead, Cheeks, Lips, and Undereye areas; and are today one of the most frequently performed cosmetic procedures.
Treatment of Crows’ feet and frown lines are what we call dynamic wrinkles. They occur from repeated muscle movements and facial expressions. When we’re young, our supportive collagen and elastin networks allow our skin to rebound from our facial expressions without a trace. Wrinkles are formed by dermal atrophy and repetitive contraction of underlying facial musculature
Anti-wrinkle injection reduces the action of muscles and provides relaxation of specific muscles. It reduces wrinkles while providing a gentle lift resulting in a smooth, refreshed appearance.
Botox or Dysport injections can be used as a preventive measure at an earlier age, ’20s-’30s, or a line reduction treatment at an older age. Using the perfect amount will allow you to have your natural facial look.
The physician and patient simultaneously assess facial areas of concern during the consultation. Asymmetries such as uneven eyebrow height and eye aperture are identified. Areas are prioritized and treatment options are discussed, including anticipated results.
Usually, the entire consultation and treatment process can be completed within 45-60 min.
Our Doctor or Specialist will take the necessary time to carefully understand and review your unique facial anatomy, while thoroughly discussing any treatment goals and concerns to reach your desired outcomes. You and the specialist will do a final review of what was discussed including dosage amount, followed by informed consent
Most anti-wrinkle treatments will last for about 3-4 months. After multiple treatments, the muscles start to become smaller. It’s common for treatments to last longer, using less Neurotoxin on repeat treatments. We recommend re-treating every 3-3.5 months to maintain your beautiful results.
Anti-wrinkle injections known as Botox, and Dysport are muscle-relaxing purified proteins that have proven to provide predictable results, with few adverse effects.
Complications with cosmetic neurotoxins, like Botox, injections are uncommon and those that occur are usually mild and transient.
The experience of the last 20 years has shown consistently high patient satisfaction and proven the effectiveness of such treatment.
Anti-wrinkle injections have no downtime. You can return to your regular activities right after the treatment, however, it is recommended you exercise or lay down within 4 hours.
Our experienced doctors and specialists trained in cosmetic procedures will minimize any risks of neurotoxin application.

Botox is a protein that is derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. By injecting it into a muscle, it blocks signals from the nerves that cause the muscle to contract. The result impact: when muscles can’t contract, the dynamic wrinkles caused by facial movements relax and soften, allowing your face to look smoother.
Eventually the body breaks down the protein over time, however how quickly this happens depends on a several of factors including metabolic rate and exposure to environmental toxins.
