What Are Botox & Dysport?

Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved neuromodulators used to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles that cause wrinkles and fine lines. Made from a purified form of botulinum toxin, these injectables block nerve signals to the muscles, softening expression lines for a smoother, more youthful appearance. Though similar in function, they have slight differences in onset and diffusion, allowing your provider to tailor treatment to your unique needs. At Solomon Aesthetic, our aesthetic practice at Old Moreland Dental, we use both options to deliver natural-looking aesthetic results.

How Do Neuromodulators Work?  

Neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport work by temporarily blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for activating muscle contractions. When injected into specific facial muscles, these substances prevent nerve signals from reaching the muscle, causing it to relax.

This reduces the repetitive movements that lead to dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines and crow’s feet. Over time, consistent use can help prevent deeper lines from forming, promoting smoother, younger-looking skin.

When Are Botox and Dysport Used?

Botox and Dysport are versatile treatments that go beyond just softening wrinkles—they can enhance facial balance and address various aesthetic concerns. These neuromodulators are commonly used in both cosmetic and therapeutic applications. You may benefit from treatment in the following situations:

  • Reducing frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
  • Softening horizontal forehead lines caused by repeated expressions
  • Minimizing crow’s feet around the eyes
  • Lifting drooping eyebrows for a more awake appearance
  • Relaxing a gummy smile by targeting upper lip movement
  • Slimming the jawline by reducing masseter muscle size
  • Smoothing lines around the nose, often called "bunny lines"
  • Treating chin dimpling or “orange peel” texture
  • Enhancing lip shape with a subtle “lip flip”

What’s the Difference Between Botox and Dysport?

Botox and Dysport are both neuromodulators that smooth wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles, but they differ slightly in formulation and performance. Dysport has smaller protein molecules, which may allow it to spread more easily and take effect faster—often within 1-2 days compared to 3-5 days for Botox.

This makes Dysport ideal for larger treatment areas like the forehead. Botox, on the other hand, is often preferred for precise targeting of smaller areas. At Solomon Aesthetic, we’ll help you choose the best option for your goals.

What is the Procedure for Botox & Dysport? 

Your Botox or Dysport appointment at Solomon Aesthetic is quick and comfortable. After a brief consultation to discuss your concerns, your provider will carefully map out the injection sites based on your facial anatomy. Using a fine needle, the neuromodulator is gently injected into targeted muscles. The process typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, with minimal discomfort and no downtime. You can return to your daily activities immediately.

Botox FAQs

Is Botox painful?

Most patients describe Botox injections as very tolerable. The needles used are extremely fine, and the treatment is quick, typically lasting a few minutes per area. You may feel a brief pinch or slight pressure during the injections, but discomfort is minimal and short-lived.

What are the potential side effects of Botox and Dysport?

Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved and considered very safe when administered by trained professionals. Temporary side effects may include mild redness, swelling, tenderness, or small bumps at the injection sites. Some patients experience minor bruising or a mild headache shortly after treatment. These effects usually resolve within a few hours to a few days.

Is there any downtime after Botox or Dysport treatment?

There is little to no downtime. You can return to work, errands, and most activities right away. Your provider may recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, excessive heat, or lying flat for several hours to ensure optimal results, but otherwise, recovery is minimal.

Can Botox be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Botox is commonly combined with dermal fillers for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. While Botox relaxes muscles that cause expression lines, fillers restore volume and smooth deeper creases. When used together, they can enhance overall facial balance.

What Are the Results Like?

Dysport may show results in as little as 1 to 2 days, while Botox typically takes 3 to 5 days to begin working. The full results usually appear within 7 to 14 days after treatment. You can expect your results from Dysport or Botox in Bluffton to last about 3 to 4 months. Over time, muscle activity gradually returns, and wrinkles may reappear. With consistent treatments, results often last longer, and the appearance of wrinkles may become less noticeable.
