Whether you’re known for smiling, laughing, grinning, or crying, it’s quite likely that gravity and overactive muscles in your face are causing wrinkles, creases and folds in your skin. Fortunately, smiling less will not be necessary, as wrinkle relaxers like Botox, Dysport, and Xeomin temporarily relax the muscles you use to frown, squint, raise your eyebrows and smile. These products are called neurotoxins and are injected into muscles, causing wrinkles and creases to fade over time.
Neuromodulators and neurotoxins are botulinum type A injections and relax your skin by restricting facial muscles from contracting. Once your facial muscles are relaxed, wrinkles are reduced, oil production decreases and facial contouring works to give you a younger appearance. Using neuromodulators like Botox, Dysport and Xeomin gives you the ability to have natural facial movements and expressions, plus you have a relaxed and smoother face after treatment.
An Injectable made for maintaining a youthful appearance, these products are an effective treatment to relax dynamic muscle movement in certain areas of the face that create unwanted lines and wrinkles.

How long does Botox last?
Botox injection treatments generally take about 15-30 minutes, and the treatment is completely painless. Botox injections do have a near-immediate effect, as you will see results in a day or two. However, the full effects of Botox injections do take some time, as it could take up to two weeks. Fine line and wrinkle reduction will often last up to four months, and it is recommended you get maintenance injections every few months to keep up your youthful appearance.
Dysport vs Botox
Dysport and Botox are often brought up in the same sentence, as Botox came first, but Dysport uses the same botulinum toxin.
Dysport is a fast-acting prescription injection proven to smoothe moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (11 lines). Dysport does not change the look or movement of your face, but only relaxes the muscles to smooth creases and wrinkles. Botox and Dysport work in much the same way but vary in the amount of time it takes to work, and the dosage needed.
Dysport often has more immediate effects in some patients than Botox, and it may last up to six months. Dysport is more diluted than Botox and spreads to a wider area once injected. For this reason, if you are treating a larger area like the forehead, Dysport may work well for you.
