Frequently Asked Questions
Where are BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® Used?
BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® treatments primarily address lines in the skin known as “dynamic wrinkles,” which includes forehead lines, lines between your eyebrows and crow’s feet around the eyes, wrinkles visible while smiling, laughing or raising the eyebrows. These lines are normally less noticeable when your face is relaxed. May also be used for lip lines, bands in the neck and decollate lines as well as for treatment of facial asymmetry.
Am I a good candidate?
Candidates generally range from the ages of 25 to 70, as the majority of wrinkles in people over 70 are considered “static” and do not disappear when the skin relaxes. There are other procedures which target static wrinkles. Each patient is unique, however, and private consultations are recommended to determine the best and most effective treatment plan.
How is BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport®Administered by Dr. Davie?
A small amount of BOTOX® Cosmetic or Dysport® is injected with a fine needle into the targeted areas. The amount of liquid which enters the skin is very small, and patients experience only minimal discomfort in the form of a slight pinch. No anesthetic is necessary, and you can continue with your everyday activities immediately following the procedure.
Are the injections painful?
The injection needle is very small, which typically avoids any discomfort. The pinching sensation experienced lasts only a short time, and you will return to your usual activities without any painful aftereffects.
When will I notice the difference, and how long will it last?
BOTOX® Cosmetic results are visible within 7-10 days and Dysport® has been shown to be visible sooner, although this may be hastened by contracting the facial muscles. Results normally last for three to six months, and repeat treatments result in longer-lasting effects.
What happens as treatment begins to wear off?
After three to six months, the effects begin to wear off and wrinkles reappear, though often not as deep or visible as they were prior to treatment. In order to sustain smooth skin and a youthful look, three to four injections are usually required. By returning for repeat treatments, fewer injections are required in the future to maintain young-looking skin.
Is there any downtime?
No. Following treatment, patients usually return to their jobs and normal activities immediately. It is recommended, however, that you avoid exercise, heavy lifting and massaging the injected area for one day.
How much does BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport®cost?
BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® are sold by the unit. The number of units required to treat each area varies for each person.
