How does Botox, Dysport and other neuromodulators work?

Botox/Dysport are cosmetic injectables. That means that by injecting a specific amount — in the case of Botox, an extremely tiny amount — of this solution into targeted locations, your Refinement Medspa & Aesthetics provider has a way to improve your appearance. 

Botox is designed to work on dynamic wrinkles. These are the wrinkles that form because the skin in the area is folded over and over as you make facial expressions. Botox is ideal for eliminating:

• The lines at the corners of your eyes (crow’s feet)
• Forehead furrows
• The lines between your eyebrows ( the "11s" frown lines)

These lines can make you look older, tired, and stern. But Botox takes care of them. It’s created from purified botulinum toxin. When a very small amount of this neuromodulator is injected into the muscle that causes your wrinkle, it blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscle. This relaxes the muscle’s contraction, smoothing the skin over it. The result is that your wrinkle disappears for a period of time.

Will I still look natural after Botox/Dysport?

Absolutely.  Our goal is to help you look refined, but natural. The team at Refinement Medspa & Aesthetics takes the time to understand your cosmetic goals before they recommend treatment for you. They prioritize enhancing your natural beauty and work to ensure you never leave looking fake or overdone. 

That’s why they use such a small amount of Botox/Dysport. With a tiny amount of this injectable, they can smooth your wrinkles without making your face look fake. 

What is the process like for getting Botox? 

Botox/Dysport is often called a lunchtime procedure because it’s so quick and easy, and you can continue on with your day immediately afterward, heading back to the office, out to lunch with friends, or wherever your plans take you. 

The needles used to inject the Botox/Dysport are so small that most patients report little to no discomfort during treatment. Plus, once you and your Refinement Medspa & Aesthetics provider have talked about your cosmetic goals and agreed on a treatment, the entire process takes around 30 minutes or less. 

The results from Botox/Dysport last three months or more. Whenever your wrinkle starts to reappear, you can come back to Refinement Medspa & Aesthetics for a touch-up treatment and maintenance, protecting your youthful appearance.
