Botox® is a type of injectable treatment known as a neuromodulator. Neuromodulators block nerve signals in the body, targeting the cause of facial wrinkles to produce a more youthful appearance and prevent further development of these unwanted traits. Wrinkles often result from frequent muscle movement in the face, particularly around the eyes and forehead. Botox® and other neuromodulators block nerve signals that activate specific facial muscles. As these muscles relax, the wrinkles diminish.
At The Smile and Face Company, Botox® and Dysport® injections are used to address:
- Forehead lines and wrinkles
- Crow's feet
- Frown lines (glabellar lines)

Difference Between Botox® and Other Neuromodulators
Botox® was the first neuromodulator formula developed for cosmetic use, but it is quite similar to other injectable treatments. At The Smile and Face Company, we also offer Dysport®, which contains the same active ingredient as Botox® (botulinum toxin). The difference is that Dysport® contains no other ingredients. Some patients may develop a tolerance to Botox® due to its inactive ingredients, and for these patients, Dysport® may be a more effective alternative.
Botox® and Dysport® Treatment Process
The injection process for both Dysport® and Botox® is the same. The skin is numbed before treatment to minimize discomfort. Once the skin is prepared, the appropriate formula is injected into and around the desired treatment area, relaxing the muscles responsible for your facial wrinkles. The process takes less than 30 minutes.
Recovery After Botox® or Dysport® Injections
Injectables are popular because they require little to no downtime. Some minor redness and swelling in the treatment area are common but typically fade within a few days. Patients can return to their usual activities immediately following their appointment.
Expected Results from Botox® and Dysport®
Results from Botox® and Dysport® injections become visible within a few days, with full results setting in within a week. These results typically last four to six months. Many patients opt for additional injections to maintain their results after this period.
