Botox and Dysport Injections

While both Botox and Dysport are forms of botulinum toxin type A, which is used to relax muscles and reduce wrinkles, there are some subtle differences between them. Both are FDA-approved and have been used for years to treat similar aesthetic concerns. However, Dysport might work slightly faster and spread to a larger area after injection, which can be beneficial when treating larger areas, such as the forehead. On the other hand, Botox could be a better choice for targeting smaller, more specific areas because it doesn't spread as much. The longevity of results can also vary between individuals and the areas treated, but both treatments generally last for several months. At PureBeautyNP Aesthetics, we provide both Botox and Dysport injections, allowing us to tailor our treatments to best suit your needs.

Absolutely, Botox is known for its versatility in treating a variety of conditions beyond just wrinkles. For instance, Botox for migraines has been an FDA-approved treatment since 2010. It works by blocking the release of certain chemicals involved in pain pathways, thereby reducing the frequency and severity of migraines. Additionally, Botox injections can also be used to treat excessive sweating, muscle spasms, and certain eye conditions. At PureBeautyNP Aesthetics, we're equipped to provide Botox treatments tailored to your specific needs, ensuring you receive the optimal benefits from this versatile treatment.

Before the treatment, our team at PureBeautyNP Aesthetics will guide you through a consultation to ensure Dysport is the right choice for your aesthetic goals. The actual procedure is quick and typically takes about 20 minutes. You might experience some minor discomfort during the injection, but this is usually well-tolerated. After the treatment, we ask that your refrain from exercise, direct exposure to sunlight/heat and lying down for 4-6 hours. We encourage you to avoid facials or any facial procedures for up to 2 weeks following treatment. The results start to appear within 2 to 3 days, with full effects visible after two weeks. Dysport before and after images often show a noticeable reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, giving a smoother, more youthful appearance. Regular follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain these results.
