What areas can Botox/Dysport treat? Botox/Dysport can be used to treat: • Crow’s feet around the eyes • Horizontal lines on the forehead • Wrinkles between the eyebrows (aka "11's") How much Botox/Dysport will I need? The amount of Botox/Dysport you’ll need depends entirely on a few contributing factors. These include: • The type of wrinkles you would like to treat • Your unique aesthetic goals • The degree of muscle movement in your face • The number of times you've had Botox/Dysport in the past • Your health history How long does Botox/Dysport Last? The results typically last between 3-5 months from the date of injection. Over time the body metabolises the Botox/Dysport, leading to the slow return of muscle movement in the treatment area. Patients can choose to maintain their results for longer periods by undergoing periodic maintenance treatments every 3-4 months. Is there any downtime post treatment? Botox/Dysport requires minimal downtime. You can return to your daily routine immediately after application. You can expect some redness and possibly swelling after application, more sensitive skin types may slightly bruise which can last up to two weeks. Concealer can be used to cover any bruising you may experience while it fades. What is the difference between Botox/Dysport and Dermal Filler? People easily get these two types of injectables confused all the time, but here’s an easy way to distinguish between the two: Botox/Dysport is for limiting muscle movement, fillers are for building volume. Botox/Dysport reduces the activity of muscles in the face that cause wrinkles. Facial fillers, work by filling the trouble areas with a gel made up of hyaluronic acid - this helps to plump and lift the skin to replace volume loss.
