BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® are neurotoxins (forms of botulinum toxin type A) which, after injected, temporarily block nerve signals that direct facial muscles to contract during facial expressions. This temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults – to help them look visibly smoother. BOTOX® and Dysport®, when used to treat hyperhidrosis, work by blocking the secretion of the chemical that activates sweat glands. There are differences in the two options so be sure to discuss with your practitioner which is right for you.
Treatment of:
Fine lines and wrinkles
