These treatments help your outside reflect how you feel on the inside (and yes, they’re perfect for hiding that “WTF” face). Plus, they’re versatile for both cosmetic and medical needs.

What is Botox ® and Dysport, and How Do They Work?
Botox® and Dysport are also called neuromodulators, and both work in similar ways. When injected into muscles, they block certain signals that make muscles move and contract. By relaxing the muscles, movement is reduced so that frown lines appear smoother and less noticeable when making facial expressions. Once injected, the neuromodulator diminishes or stops nerve signals to your muscles where it is injected, relaxing the muscle so you move and contract less. This results in smoother less and lined skin, and an overall younger looking appearance!

Medical Botox®
You might not know this, but Botox® can be used for more than just smoothing skin and lessening wrinkles. Intense underarm sweating (t-shirt horrors), teeth clenching, and migraine/chronic headaches can all be treated with Botox®. While maybe not as glamorous as the anti-aging results you’re used to seeing, the benefits of medical Botox® can change lives, not just foreheads!

Botox® and Dysport FAQs
Botox® and Dysport are both types of neuromodulator injections, primarily known for treating and preventing wrinkles. The differences lie in the potency of trace proteins, which can make one more effective than the other. Both block muscle contractions, thereby relaxing the skin and lessening lines and wrinkles. Your Dot Calm skincare specialist can discuss with you which one will work best to achieve the results you want. Let us help you embrace all the wrinkle-free possibilities, and maybe even enjoy that mirror time just a little bit more.
We would love to say forever, but sadly that is not the case. Every person is different. We all metabolize at different paces. Some are quicker than others. Typically, booking an appointment every 3 months is sufficient. For the people who metabolize quicker or don’t like the thawing phase, we suggest micro top-ups every 2 months. It costs less and you always look brand new.
So are we!!! No one wants to have a mannequin face or shiny looking plate for a forehead. We always err on the side of caution with new clients, so we get to know your face and how it rests. Clients will return for a 2-week follow-up where we can top you up to the desired level.
You will start noticing results within days of treatment, but full results can take up to 2 weeks. So, for the excited client who wants the results ASAP…please pour a glass of wine, relax and enjoy the show!
There is minimal downtime when receiving Botox® or Dysport injections. You may be pink around the injection site for a short amount of time. This can easily be covered up with makeup if you have to run back to work after saying you had a “doctor’s appointment” to go to.
We look forward to hearing from you soon!
