Botox/Dysport

Softens expression lines so your face moves naturally — just with a little less effort.

What are neuromodulators?

Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles. By softening repetitive movement, they help prevent and reduce the appearance of expression lines while maintaining natural facial balance.

When placed thoughtfully, neuromodulators don’t freeze expression — they refine it. The goal is a rested, balanced appearance that still looks like you, just a little more at ease.

FAQ's

Is it right for me?

Botox and Dysport are best suited for softening expression lines caused by repetitive muscle movement, such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. They’re ideal if you’re looking to look more rested and refreshed without changing your natural features.

A consultation allows us to assess movement patterns, muscle strength, and overall facial balance to determine whether this treatment — or a different approach — is the best fit for you.

Results & longevity

You’ll begin to notice results within a few days, with full effects settling around the two-week mark. The goal is controlled relaxation of targeted muscles, not complete stillness.

Results typically last 3–4 months, though this can vary based on metabolism, muscle activity, and treatment area. With consistent treatment over time, many clients find their results last longer and require fewer units.

Combination treatments

Botox and Dysport are most effective when the skin they’re working on is healthy, supported, and functioning well. While neuromodulators soften movement, they don’t improve texture, tone, or overall skin quality on their own.

For that reason, we often recommend pairing Botox or Dysport with treatments that support the skin itself — such as consistent medical-grade skincare, microneedling, or professional peels. These treatments help strengthen the skin barrier, improve collagen stimulation, and create a smoother, more resilient foundation, allowing neuromodulator results to look more refined and balanced.

Combination plans are always guided by your skin’s needs and long-term goals, rather than adding treatments for the sake of doing more.

What’s the difference between Botox and Dysport?

Both Botox and Dysport are neuromodulators that work by interrupting the signal between nerves and targeted muscles, softening expression lines over time. The difference lies in their formulation and how they behave once injected. Dysport tends to diffuse a bit more, which can make it well suited for broader areas like the forehead, while Botox is often preferred for more precise placement. Neither is “better” universally — the choice depends on muscle strength, treatment area, and how your body responds. Product selection is always tailored, not automatic.

What is “Baby Botox” — and does it actually work?

“Baby Botox” refers to using lower doses of neuromodulator to gently soften movement rather than significantly restrict it. When done thoughtfully, it can be effective — especially for those new to treatment or looking for very subtle changes. However, it’s not simply about using less product. Placement, timing, and muscle activity all matter. Underdosing without a plan can lead to results that fade quickly or feel underwhelming, which is why assessment is key.

My Botox doesn’t seem to last — why might that be?

Several factors can influence how long neuromodulators last. Higher muscle activity, a fast metabolism, frequent intense exercise, and high stress levels can all contribute to faster breakdown. In some cases, nutritional factors may also play a role. Zinc supplementation has been shown to support neuromodulator effectiveness in certain individuals when taken consistently around treatment time. We’ll always look at patterns over time before assuming a product “isn’t working.”

Can I come in early if it wears off faster?

It’s generally recommended to wait at least three months between neuromodulator treatments. Treating too frequently may increase the risk of reduced responsiveness over time, as the body can develop antibodies to the product. If results feel shorter-lived, the solution is usually adjusting technique, dose, or treatment strategy — not simply treating more often.

Pre-care Guidelines

MEDICATIONS + SUPPLEMENTS
To help minimize bruising.
Avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, and Aleve for 72 hours prior.
Skip supplements like fish oil, vitamin E, St. John’s Wort, and others known to thin the blood for one week before your appointment.

ALCOHOL AND CAFFEINE
Try to limit or avoid alcohol and caffeine for 24 hours before your treatment — it can increase the risk of bruising.

SKIN PREP
Stay hydrated. Well-hydrated skin supports better results.
Arrive with clean skin — no makeup or moisturizer.
Avoid harsh treatments like peels, lasers, or microdermabrasion for at least one week before.
Pause retinoids or active skincare a few days prior to minimize sensitivity.

THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND
If you have an event coming up, book at least 2 weeks ahead to allow for settling and any touch-ups (especially if it’s your first time).
Prone to cold sores? Let us know — we may recommend a preventative antiviral.

PLEASE AVOID
Waxing, tweezing, or bleaching the treatment area right before your appointment.
Wearing makeup on the day of your treatment.
