There’s virtually zero downtime with these treatments. Botox/Dysport is often referred to as a “lunchtime procedure,” since most patients return directly to work or normal activity immediately. Some redness and swelling may occur at the injection sites, but it usually subsides within a few hours. Patients may also experience some minimal bruising which can be easily covered with make-up.
Results last around 3-6 months, depending on the location of the treatment, your muscle activity and your body’s individual response.
While Botox and Dysport are both injectables (specifically, botulinum toxin injections) used to treat and prevent wrinkles, their chemical compositions are slightly different which can make one more effective than the other at specific injection sites. We recommend talking to our providers to understand which product is the best fit for you.
