What is Botox?

You’ve likely heard of the most popular minimally invasive cosmetic treatment on the market, but what exactly is Botox? Botox is an injection derived from botulinum toxin, and when strategically placed by a licensed professional, it can alleviate the wrinkles and lines that inevitably develop as you age. 

What is Dysport?

Similar to Botox, Dysport injections are also derived from botulinum toxin. Dysport injections can treat wrinkles and fine lines, specifically the visible lines in the area between your eyebrows. 

Your beYOU bioidenticals provider performs Dysport injections in the office, and you can leave immediately after.

How can Botox and Dysport rejuvenate my appearance?

The wrinkles that appear on your face as you age are largely due to your movements and expressions. You form wrinkles near overworked muscles. 

Botox is designed to alleviate forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet, and frown lines, while Dysport alleviates moderate to severe wrinkles between your eyebrows. These wrinkles can become prominent even when your face is relaxed.

The results of your injections can last three months or more. If you’re satisfied with your new appearance, you can book follow-up injections at beYOU bioidenticals to maintain them.

What are the side effects of Botox and Dysport?

Botox and Dysport injections are typically well-tolerated when they're administered by experienced professionals like the team at beYOU bioidenticals. Some minor side effects can occur after your Botox or Dysport injections, including:

• Redness at or near the injection site
• Discomfort
• Swelling
• Headache
• Droopy eyelids

If you’re concerned about post-treatment side effects, contact the team at beYOU bioidenticals.

Am I a good candidate for Botox or Dysport injections?

Many patients are candidates for treatment with Botox or Dysport. During your consultation, your beYOU bioidenticals provider inquires about your medical history, current health, and any medications you take to ensure that the treatment is safe for you. You may be a good candidate for Botox or Dysport if you:

• Are over 18
• Want fewer wrinkles and lines
• Aren’t pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have realistic expectations for treatment

With Botox or Dysport, you can look years younger without undergoing high-risk surgical procedures.
