Both are neuromodulators designed to soften muscle movement and reduce expression lines, but they differ slightly in their formulation and how they spread. Dysport tends to diffuse a bit more, which can make it ideal for larger treatment areas like the forehead, while Botox may offer more precision in smaller areas. The results are very similar — it often comes down to injector preference, technique, and what’s best for your unique anatomy.

The goal isn’t to freeze your face — it’s to soften muscle activity just enough to smooth lines while preserving natural expression. Your results should look subtle, relaxed, and refreshed, not stiff.

Yes, absolutely. Neuromodulators can be used strategically to rebalance muscle activity on each side of your face — for example, if one eyebrow sits higher or you have uneven smile lines. It’s one of the reasons expert assessment matters so much.

This is common: Botox/Dysport are fully metabolized around the 3-4 month mark, but it can take time for your muscles to regain full strength. Some clients continue to feel “smooth” well beyond that because muscle memory softens over time with consistent treatments.

No — they’ll simply return to how they would have looked if you’d never treated them. In some cases, they may even return softer because you’ve given your muscles a break from repetitive movement.

There’s no perfect age — it depends on your anatomy, muscle activity, and skin quality. Some start in their late 20s or early 30s as a preventative strategy, while others begin later to soften static lines that have already formed.

Different muscles metabolize differently — larger, stronger muscles (like the forehead) may regain strength sooner than smaller, finer ones (like crow’s feet). Your anatomy, dosing, and movement patterns all play a role.

You can — but there’s value in being consistent. Treating on a regular schedule allows us to maintain results more easily and helps prevent deep static lines from setting in over time.

Yes. Neuromodulators can help with concerns like jawline slimming, reducing teeth grinding/clenching (bruxism), softening a gummy smile, relaxing neck bands, and more — it’s about understanding the full range of what these products can do beyond just “forehead lines.”
