Botox®/Dysport
Orlando and Winter Park, Florida
Botox® is a bacteria produced protein purified for medical use that blocks nerve impulse transmission to the muscle preventing the muscle from contracting.
It is used to treat hyper-functioning, hyper-dynamic frown lines allowing the overlying skin to be smoothed with an improved cosmetic appearance.
Typically forehead, bridge of the nose and crows feet lines can be treated with Botox®. Brows can be shaped and neck bands and lines can be reduced with Botox® as well. Excessive sweating can also be treated by axillary (armpit) injections of Botox®. Results last 3-4 months and treatment needs to be repeated to maintain the effect. These Botox® treatments are done in the office. No anesthesia is required for Botox®.
The FDA has approved Dysport, the first new botulinum toxin for wrinkles since Botox was approved in 2002. Like Botox, this latest wrinkle fighter is a modified version of botulinum toxin-A and inhibits facial muscle contractions that over time lead to horizontal forehead lines, vertical frown lines and crow’s feet. In most studies, Dysport has been shown to be at least as effective and in some cases more effective than Botox.
