Botox

What is Botox?

Botox® is an FDA-approved treatment designed to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe crow’s feet, frown lines, and forehead lines. Known for its popularity and effectiveness worldwide, Botox has undergone extensive testing, with over 15 years of clinical studies and more than 495 peer-reviewed articles supporting its safety and efficacy. It has been used medically for over 50 years, making it a trusted option in cosmetic treatments.

Botox is created using a tiny, safe amount of botulinum toxin, a naturally occurring substance found in the environment. In larger doses, this toxin can be harmful, but in cosmetic applications, it’s highly regulated to ensure patient safety.

How does Botox work?

Botox is injected into specific facial muscles using a fine needle, targeting areas like frown lines and crow’s feet. The procedure is quick, typically requiring about 15 minutes, and most people experience little to no downtime. 

Botox works by temporarily limiting muscle movement, preventing the underlying facial muscles from forming lines and wrinkles. Results last approximately four months, after which you can opt to schedule follow-up treatments to maintain your look.

What is Dysport?

Revia Health & Wellness proudly offers Dysport, an alternative to Botox that provides comparable results for a more youthful, relaxed appearance. Like Botox, Dysport is derived from botulinum toxin and works by temporarily slowing down targeted muscle activity. Dysport is particularly effective for reducing frown lines, with most patients noticing faster initial results that typically last for three to four months.

While both products are similar, Dysport may be better suited for some based on unique preferences or skin response. Unlike Botox, which is commonly used for forehead lines and crow’s feet, Dysport is FDA-approved specifically for frown lines. Justine can help determine if Dysport is the right choice based on your aesthetic goals and any past experience with injectables.
