Botox and Dysport work by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles where they are injected. Both products contain botulinum toxin type A, which prevents the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction. By relaxing these targeted muscles, Botox and Dysport reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines caused by repetitive facial movements. The results typically appear within a few days and last for three to four months, allowing the skin to look smoother and more refreshed. Despite their similarities, Dysport may diffuse slightly more than Botox, potentially covering a larger area with fewer injection points.

Getting ready for your Botox or Dysport treatment? Here’s the scoop: avoid alcohol and blood-thinning meds like aspirin or ibuprofen for at least 24-48 hours before your appointment to minimize bruising. Skip the intense workouts and sun exposure on treatment day to keep your skin happy and receptive. Arrive with a clean face—no heavy makeup, please! Hydrate well and come with a smile, ready to refresh and rewind those fine lines. Let’s get you glowing and feeling fabulous!

Recovering from Botox or Dysport injections is typically a breeze. Right after treatment, you might notice slight redness, mild swelling, or tiny pinprick marks where the needles went in—totally normal and usually short-lived. Most people return to their daily routine immediately, just avoiding heavy exercise or rubbing the treated area for the first 24 hours. Any minor bruising or tenderness generally fades within a few days, revealing smoother, more relaxed skin that boosts your confidence inside and out. It’s a quick, simple way to hit the refresh button without missing a beat!
