Botox Cosmetic & Dysport

BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® are the trade name of botulinum toxin type A, a purified toxin produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum. Originally approved in the 1980’s by the FDA as treatment for a “lazy” eye and uncontrollable eye blinking, it quickly grew to popularity and has been used for cosmetic purposes since 1989.

BOTOX® Cosmetic & Dysport® work by weakening the muscles of facial expression which are located beneath the immediate surface of the facial skin. Once the resting tone of these muscles is weakened, the muscles relax and the skin flattens out. This treatment option is an entirely different approach to treating the aging face. They will physiologically weaken the muscles, reducing the wrinkles naturally.

Numerous staff members at Core Dermatology are qualified to administer BOTOX® Cosmetic. The procedure lasts approximately 10 minutes* with no down time following the procedure.  Some patients have reported mild bruising* that can be easily covered with make-up, but most have virtually no signs of injection*.

Common problem areas are smile lines around the mouth, tissue between the eyebrows or the brow’s “furrow”, and the area around the eyes where crow’s feet form.

BOTOX^® Cosmetic and Dysport® are technique-sensitive treatments and deliver natural-looking results** when you are treated by someone who is licensed, trained, and a medical expert in facial anatomy. So you’ll look like yourself—only with less noticeable lines. No one should be able to tell you’ve had anything done.

Be wary of discount products or “cheap” botulinum toxin type A – if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. Your cost of BOTOX^® Cosmetic and Dysport® not only includes the price of the product, but more importantly, the skill and expertise of the specialist or healthcare professional who is administering your treatment.
