Botox & Dysport
Wrinkle Relaxers
Botox and Dysport are the perfect solutions to treat and prevent wrinkles and fine lines. During treatment, our highly trained medical injectors will inject small amounts of either medication into the area of concern’s underlying muscle. This results in muscle relaxation and the reduction of wrinkles caused by muscle movement. This helps create a smoother, more youthful appearance.
A wrinkle relaxer appointment is quick and easy, allowing you to return to your daily activities in a flash. It can take several days to two weeks to see the full results of your injections, with the results lasting 3-4 months. Since mild bruising can occur, we recommend scheduling 2 weeks before any events.
