What Is Botox and How Does It Work?
Botox is an FDA-approved neurotoxin injection that blocks the nerve signals telling facial muscles to contract. As the muscles relax, dynamic wrinkles soften and the skin looks smoother. Clinical studies show Botox can also prevent future wrinkles when started early. More than six million patients receive Botox each year, making it one of the most trusted cosmetic treatments worldwide.
What Does Botox Treat?
Forehead lines, crow’s feet and the lines between your eyes can make you look older than you are. Our expert injectors use Botox to treat:
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Frown lines, or “11s,” between the brows
- Jaw clenching and TMJ tension
- Excessive underarm sweating
- A thin upper lip with the lip flip
Dysport Near Me in East Lansing and Birmingham
Dysport is a prescription wrinkle relaxer injected into targeted muscles. It blocks the chemical release that triggers muscle contractions, softening moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Many patients find Dysport more affordable than Botox. It is also a trusted option for patients who have developed a tolerance to Botox and no longer see maximum results.
Botox vs Dysport vs Jeuveau
Botox, Dysport, Xeomin and Jeuveau are all botulinum toxin injections that relax wrinkle-causing muscles. Dysport spreads slightly wider, which suits larger areas like the forehead. Botox offers precise placement for smaller areas. Your injector recommends the best neurotoxin for your anatomy, budget and goals during your consultation.
Why Choose an Experienced Medical Injector?
Botox is safe when a licensed doctor or nurse administers it. Non-medical injections can cause a frozen or unnatural expression, asymmetry, muscle drooping, vision problems, trouble swallowing, speaking or breathing, and infection. At both locations, our physicians and nurses perform every injection in a licensed, sterile clinical environment.
