Let’s take some time to compare Dysport vs Botox. Mark Twain once wrote, “wrinkles should merely indicate where smiles have been.” And while we are certainly not here to refute that, we also know that most people over the age of 30 may qualify that with, “but not too many wrinkles”. Which is why the popularity of neuromodulators (Botox and Dysport) have taken the beauty industry by storm.

As we age, repeated movements and muscle contractions cause wrinkles. Dysport cosmetic treats the moderate to severe frown lines on your forehead, around the eyes, and between the eyebrows by reducing specific muscle activity. Once the muscles are at rest, the skin becomes smoother — creating a more natural relaxed appearance. Dysport is FDA approved and has been used for over 25 years. It is safe and very effective.

Yes, Dysport is safe and effective. It was approved by the FDA in 2009 the treatment of facial lines and wrinkles.

Most patients begin to see the effects of their Dysport injections 2-3 days after treatment. Full results are typically achieved 2-3 weeks after treatment.

Dysport results typically last between 3-4 months. However, because we metabolize the product at a different rate, the outcome is slightly different for each individual. For optimal results and to maintain your look, plan for 3-4 Dysport treatments annually.

Dysport is injected with an ultra fine needle directly into the area being treated. You will likely feel a very slight stinging sensation during the treatment, but minimal to no discomfort afterwards. On a scale from 1-10, most patients rate it a 1-2. There is minimal downtime, which means you can get back to your day faster.

If you’ve had any other previous injectables treatments before, Dysport® is a similar process. The treatment area is identified by our registered nurses and then Dysport® is administered to that area. Our experienced staff uses techniques to help minimize any discomfort the patient may feel. One of the great benefits of Dysport® is the minimal downtime for patients. Downtime usually lasts about one day.

You must be 18 years or older to receive a Dysport treatment at Mathis Aesthetics.

More people are choosing cosmetic injectables like Dysport than ever before. Over 4.4 million people received Botulinum Toxin Type A injections — including Dysport and Botox — in 2019, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

Dysport® filler injections may be the perfect solution to help you achieve the look you want. If you’re considering Dysport®, please feel free to schedule a free consultation with our nurses to help guide you to the right decision.

It is common to feel slight heaviness or pressure in the treated area after your Dysport injections. Some patients experience a mild headache on the treatment day and the day after. Slight redness and bruising may also occur at the injection site. However, most people experience no side effects at all, returning back to work or their daily activities immediately post-treatment.

As a medical procedure, there are some possible side effects associated with Dysport. Major side effects are rare. Some of the more common side effects include: • Swelling • Redness • Soreness • Itchiness • Headaches • Bruising (more common in certain people such as those taking blood thinners or with certain medical conditions) Choosing a qualified injector will reduce your chances of adverse effects or complications. With expertise in facial anatomy and proper injection techniques, Botox Bar’s injectors offer low risk Dysport injections.

Our expert registered nurses will safely administer the non-invasive injectable to the targeted area. Once injected, the Botox filler will relax the targeted muscles, which causes the wrinkles to soften and appear more youthful. While every patient is different, most tell us there is little to no pain. Patients may notice small bumps at the injection site, but these will fade quickly after the procedure.

A Botox unit is the amount of medicine that is injected into the specific treatment area. Botox dosage is measured in units and typically comes in 100 unit vials. For example, patients typically require 10-25 units for the vertical Glabellar lines, or “elevens” between the eyes.

Neuromodulators, like Botox, are widely used as a preventative measure to keep facial wrinkles from forming. With time, aging will deepen the lines and wrinkles on your face. More and more, younger adults are choosing Botox treatments in their mid 20s and early 30s to prevent wrinkles and lines from taking hold. Eighteen (18) is minimum age to receive Botox treatments at Mathis Aesthetics.

Botox and Dysport are both neuromodulators with similar benefits and outcomes. Their formulas are different, which means one might be more effective for some treatment areas than the other — and visa versa. Also, our bodies metabolize and respond differently. That’s why some patients who haven’t realized the results they desire with Botox report that Dysport works well for them. Mathis Aesthetics' experienced cosmetic injection specialists will help you decide with one is right for you.

Here at Mathis Aesthetics, a lip flip costs $75. A lip flip is a non-surgical procedure that uses a small dose of Botox to relax muscles above the upper lip. This causes the upper lip to curl (or flip) upward and create the appearance of naturally fuller lips. It takes about a week to see results.

A lip flip typically lasts 4-6 weeks. The results wear off more quickly because the lips are actively used for making expressions, eating, etc.

Lip filler adds volume to make your lips look plumper in shape and size. It also helps smooth the lines around them. Results are immediate with lip filler and can last up to a year. Lip filler costs between $395-$850. It’s less than a full year of lip flips if you came in every 6 weeks. ($850 = 8.5 visits x $100).

Yes, Botox was approved by the FDA in 2002 to make moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines look better in adults.

Mathis Aesthetics offers Botox appointments on Saturdays! Unlike many doctors' clinics and Botox clinics, you can get Botox on Saturday and we are closed on Sundays.

More people are choosing cosmetic injectables like Botox than ever before. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), there were 4.4 million Botox treatments performed in the US in 2020.

Botox® is an FDA-approved neuromodulator used to temporarily relax targeted facial muscles that cause expression lines, helping soften wrinkles and prevent deeper lines from forming.

The cost of Botox injections depends on the size of your facial muscles, the skill and experience of the injector, the number of treatment areas, the number of product units, where you live, and your desired outcome. Typically, men require more units than women because they have larger facial muscles. Here at Mathis Aesthetics. Botox costs $14 per unit. The price of a Botox treatment typically ranges between $350-$650 at our MedSpa, depending on the number of units required.

Botox injections do not work instantly. When Botox is injected, it takes from seven to fourteen (7-14) days to fully block the nerves that make the muscles contract, causing them to relax. In most cases, patients should be able to see a slightly noticeable difference in the appearance of the treated area within the first week.

Before your Botox treatment, let your nurse know if you have had any other type of botulinum toxin injections in the last four months or if you have taken any muscle relaxants, sleeping medication or allergy medications. Your nurse may also ask you to refrain from taking blood thinners before your treatment. You may wear your normal clothing to your treatment.

Sometimes called a lunchtime procedure, you can expect little to no recovery time after your treatment. You can return to your normal activities immediately. We do recommend that you stay upright and refrain from massaging the injection area for 4 hours after the procedure, to prevent the cosmetic from moving beyond the treated area.

Quick and minimally invasive, your mid-level medical injector (nurse practitioner or physician assistant) will inject Botox with a very small needle directly into the muscles that need to be relaxed. Any discomfort at the injection site should be very minimal. You might feel a slight residual stinging immediately after your Botox injections. A small bump may also appear where the injection occurs, but that will quickly fade. After five minutes, your face will look nearly identical to how it looked when you walked into Mathis Aesthetics, with the exception of some redness if you have sensitive skin. Typically, you can return back to work or normal activity immediately post-treatment. On a scale from 1-10, most guests rate it a 1-2.

Masseter Botox is the name for the medical treatment where Botox is injected into the masseter muscle. This treatment is also referred to as “teeth-grinding injections” or “jaw Botox.” The masseter muscle is a large, rectangular facial muscle that connects your lower jaw to your cheek bone and is the main muscle for chewing. Injecting botulinum toxin type A into the masseter blocks nerve cells to help relax the muscle. It is a highly effective treatment for patients who clench or grind their teeth or have been diagnosed with TMJ. Masseter Muscle Botox is also popular non-surgical treatment to help reduce the width and shape of a square jawline — known as jawline slimming or facial slimming.

Botox results typically last 3-4 months. How often you need Botox treatments is slightly different for every individual. Our bodies metabolize the botulism toxin injections at different rates. Muscle mass, age and your desired outcome also help determine the ideal treatment protocol.

Most guests maintain their results every 3–4 months. Memberships are available for those who prefer consistent maintenance.

It is very common to feel slight heaviness or pressure in the treated area after Botox injections. Some people experience temporary side effects like a mild headache on the treatment day and the day after.
