Our Botox and Dysport
Treatments
Botox and Dysport treatments effectively reduce the appearance of glabellar lines, also known as the “11 lines” between the eyebrows. By relaxing the muscles that cause these furrows, the treatments smooth out the skin, resulting in a more relaxed and youthful appearance.
These injectables work wonders on forehead creases by temporarily relaxing the forehead muscles. This relaxation prevents the skin from creasing, leading to a smoother forehead and a reduction in the visibility of horizontal lines.
Botox and Dysport target the delicate area around the eyes to soften crow’s feet, the fine lines that fan out from the corners of the eyes. By relaxing the orbicularis oculi muscles, these treatments can dramatically reduce these wrinkles, refreshing your overall look.
A lip flip involves injecting a tiny amount of Botox or Dysport into the upper lip muscle, relaxing it and allowing the lip to curl outward slightly. This creates the appearance of a fuller, more defined lip without adding volume.
These are the wrinkles that form on the sides of the nose when you scrunch it. Botox and Dysport can smooth out these lines by relaxing the nasalis muscle, minimizing the appearance of these wrinkles during facial expressions.
The DAO muscle, when overactive, can pull the corners of the mouth downward, creating a frown. Injecting Botox or Dysport into this muscle relaxes it, helping to elevate the corners of the mouth and produce a more neutral or slightly upturned mouth corner, enhancing a friendly appearance.
Visible vertical bands on the neck can be softened with Botox and Dysport treatments. By relaxing the platysma muscle, these injections reduce the appearance of these bands, leading to a smoother, more youthful neck profile.
Botox and Dysport can address chin dimpling or “pebble chin,” which occurs when the mentalis muscle is overactive. The treatment smooths out the chin by relaxing this muscle, preventing the dimpled or orange-peel appearance.
Injecting Botox or Dysport into the masseter muscle can slim the jawline and reduce the appearance of a square jaw, leading to a more feminine or oval face shape. This treatment is also beneficial for those who grind their teeth, as it weakens the muscle enough to lessen the grinding without affecting chewing.
