Overview
One of the more common procedures at Cosmetic Surgery Specialists are neurotoxin injections, better known as Botox and Dysport among others. Decades of smiling, laughing, frowning and crying begin to leave a visible imprint on your face with dynamic wrinkles. Yes, neurotoxins can help diminish the appearance and depth of these lines, but in experienced hands can accomplish so much more. At a more advanced level, Botox and Dysport can be used to soften forehead eyelid lines, raise the brows, shape the cheeks and jawline, lift the lips and so much more. We often use neurotoxins together with injectable fillers to achieve a more dramatic, yet natural facial rejuvenation.

How Safe Is It?

Same As BOTOX?
In recent years, BOTOX has seen some competition as other drugs have been approved by the FDA, and introduced to the aesthetic market.

Patients are advised to limit exercise and to stay in an upright position for a few hours the treatment. The results from a neurotoxin treatment take 10 – 14 days to appear.
Are Fillers Better?
Neurotoxins are both popular cosmetic treatments with the ability to decrease wrinkles and smoothen facial areas. The difference with each is the way the substances function to create the rejuvenating effect. Injectable fillers add volume under the skin to fill hollow areas and decrease the appearance of wrinkles on the surface. Neurotoxins, on the other hand, relaxes the muscles underneath the skin so that the muscles cannot contract, allowing a softer effect on the surface. It is very common for patients to undergo treatment using both a muscle relaxer and an injectable filler to attain optimal results.
