Smooth the lines.
Keep your expressions.
Neuromodulators that quiet the high-effort wrinkles, without quieting your face. You still look like you, just more rested.
The science
behind the smooth.
Botox Cosmetic (onabotulinumtoxinA) and Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) are prescription injectables used to temporarily reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, the ones caused by repetitive facial movement like frowning and squinting.
Botox Cosmetic is FDA-approved for forehead lines, frown lines (glabellar lines), and crow's feet (lateral canthal lines).
Dysport is FDA-approved for frown lines (glabellar lines) in adults under 65.
In practice, providers may use neuromodulators in other areas based on clinical judgement. Your consult is where we decide what's appropriate for you.
Natural.
Not frozen.
Wrinkles are not just aging. They're motion.
When you frown, the muscles between your brows contract and your skin folds. When you squint, the muscles around your eyes do the same. Over time, those folds start sticking around.
Botox Cosmetic and Dysport work by reducing muscle activity in targeted areas, so those expression lines soften. Untreated muscles still move normally, you can smile, laugh, and react like a human. The high-effort wrinkle creases just calm down.

- Results often last around 3 to 4 months, varying by person, area, and dosing
Minimal downtime. Real talk on side effects.
Most people have very little downtime, but small side effects can happen.

The injectable
countdown clock.
Planning a wedding, milestone, or moment-to-remember? Here's how we sequence injectables so you peak at exactly the right time.
If you've never had Botox or filler, schedule a consultation and initial session now. This lets you see how your muscles react and ensures you love the results before the final pre-event dose.
For returning patients, this is the second-to-last Botox round, the perfect opportunity to adjust dose or placement based on your trial run.
Schedule any dermal fillers, lips, cheeks, or under-eyes. Fillers can take up to four to six weeks to fully settle and for any deep bruising to resolve.
This is the sweet spot for your final neuromodulator treatment. Results peak at 2 weeks, leaving a 1-week buffer for any minor tweak-ments or follow-ups.
No more injections. From here on, focus on gentle hydration and facials to lock in your glow.
Want a poutier look without adding volume?
Ask about a Lip Flip, it uses small amounts of Botox around the mouth to subtly roll the upper lip outward. Or pair neuromodulators with Exilis skin tightening if your goal is smoother skin plus better overall texture and firmness.
The questions everyone asks.

-
Both are botulinum toxin type A neuromodulators used to temporarily reduce dynamic wrinkles. Botox Cosmetic has FDA-approved cosmetic indications for forehead lines, frown lines, and crow's feet. Dysport's cosmetic indication is for glabellar lines in adults under 65.
-
Many people see results that last around 3 to 4 months, depending on the area treated and individual factors. Botox Cosmetic labeling notes glabellar duration is approximately 3 to 4 months, and Dysport data shows glabellar improvement up to four months.
-
You may notice early changes within a few days as the effect builds, with fuller results typically showing around 1 to 2 weeks. Botox Cosmetic labeling describes onset beginning in 1 to 2 days with intensity increasing during the first week.
-
Not if it's done right. The goal is softening, not erasing your personality.
-
No. Dysport's labeling states its potency units are not interchangeable with other botulinum toxin products. Translation: don't compare units across brands like they're the same currency.
-
It depends on muscle strength, anatomy, and the look you want. We can give a range after a quick facial assessment at your consult.
-
Many providers recommend waiting a bit before intense exercise. We'll give you clear aftercare instructions based on your treatment areas.
