BOTOX® is the most popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment in the world with millions opting for smoother faces and fewer fine lines every year. This FDA-approved cosmetic treatment is designed to temporarily improve moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines in adults. Botox is no longer used for purely cosmetic reasons; it can now be used to treat migraines, hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), and TMJ pain.
Dysport is a purified formulation that has been shown to deliver temporary improvements in moderate to severe frown lines, even with repeat treatments. So, the effect of repeat treatments may be comparable to your first use. With just 1 injection into each of 5 points between and above the eyebrows, Dysport® blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines.
Botox, or Botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxic protein as described by NIH and has been widely used in the cosmetic industry, as well as for a number of medical applications. Here are some of the benefits associated with Botox injections:

Botox, known scientifically as Botulinum toxin, was discovered in the early 19th century. It’s a neurotoxic protein produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and other related species.
The medical use of Botox began in the late 1960s when Dr. Alan Scott, a San Francisco ophthalmologist, started experimenting with it as a way to treat strabismus (crossed eyes). He found that by injecting tiny amounts of the toxin into overactive eye muscles, it could correct the alignment of the eyes.
Scott got FDA approval for his treatment, but he didn’t have the resources to market it properly. This led him to partner with a pharmaceutical company called Allergan. In 1989, the FDA approved Botox (or Oculinum, as it was called back then) for the treatment of strabismus and blepharospasm (uncontrolled blinking).
In the 1990s, doctors noticed that wrinkles around the eyes and forehead seemed to soften in patients who received Botox treatments for eye muscle disorders. This discovery led to the exploration of Botox as a cosmetic treatment.
In 2002, Botox received FDA approval for cosmetic use, specifically for the temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). The treatment quickly became popular for its ability to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles, and it has remained one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedures ever since.
Today, Botox is used for a wide range of therapeutic applications, including treatment for migraines, excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis), and certain muscular disorders. It has a well-established safety profile when administered correctly by a trained professional.
Your first Botox appointment will typically follow a process like the one described below:
Consultation: The appointment usually starts with a consultation. The medical professional will discuss your medical history, your concerns and the results you wish to achieve. They will also explain the procedure, its risks and benefits, and address any questions or concerns you might have.
Facial Assessment: Your clinician will assess your facial muscle movements. They might ask you to frown, raise your eyebrows, or smile broadly. This step helps the provider understand your facial dynamics and decide the best injection sites to achieve the results you desire.
Preparation: Your skin will be cleaned to remove makeup and reduce the risk of infection. Depending on your pain tolerance, a topical numbing cream may be applied, although most people report that the injections cause little discomfort.
Procedure: Using a tiny needle, the provider will inject Botox into the specific muscles that cause the wrinkles or lines. The number of injections you’ll need will depend on multiple factors, including your facial features, the extent of the wrinkles, and your desired results. This process typically takes around 10-15 minutes.
Aftercare: After the injections, you might see temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. Ice packs can be used to minimize these effects. Your provider will give you aftercare instructions. You’ll typically be advised to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area, lying down, or engaging in strenuous activity for a few hours post-treatment, as these activities can cause the Botox to spread to unwanted areas.
Follow-up: Your clinician will usually schedule a follow-up appointment in about two weeks to check on your results and decide if any additional injections are needed.
Remember, the effects of Botox are not immediate. You can expect to start seeing results in 3-5 days, but the full effects won’t be apparent until about 1-2 weeks after your treatment. Results typically last between 3-4 months. Regular follow-up treatments are needed if you want to maintain the effect.
