Botox

Botulinum toxin A, often known as BOTOX, is frequently employed as a cosmetic treatment to diminish the appearance of crow’s feet, wrinkles, and frown lines. Functioning as a neuromodulator, or a wrinkle-relaxing injection, BOTOX targets the facial muscles prone to overuse by administering neurotoxin proteins that hinder their activity. Following the procedure, the effects typically last for approximately 3-4 months as the body metabolizes the injected toxins.

Dysport

Dysport is a prescribed injection designed to temporarily enhance the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (known as glabellar lines) in adults under 65 years of age. It offers a subtle enhancement, avoiding an overly dramatic transformation. By smoothing frown lines, Dysport helps individuals maintain a natural appearance rather than a stiff, frozen look.One of Dysport’s notable features is its rapid onset of action. Results may become noticeable as soon as 24 hours post-treatment, with full effects typically visible within 2 to 3 days. Furthermore, the benefits are enduring, with a single 10-20-minute session potentially improving the appearance of frown lines for up to 5 months.Dysport enjoys a high level of satisfaction among users, with 95% expressing satisfaction after just 2 treatments per year, and 98% finding their results to be natural-looking. Following two treatments spaced 6 months apart, nearly all users expressed a willingness to undergo further Dysport treatments, reporting feelings of confidence, attractiveness, and happiness post-treatment.

Achieving natural-looking outcomes hinges on consulting a trained specialist proficient in Dysport administration and knowledgeable about facial anatomy. Customers and users trust Dysport’s safety and effectiveness, backed by over 30 years of consistent and safe results across more than 100 million treatments in 80 countries worldwide.
