Neurotoxins: The Expert Guide to Botox and Dysport
Do you feel like the signs of aging are catching up with you while you’re caught up in the busyness of daily life? Self-care can feel impossible, but with neurotoxin treatments at Hamilton Aesthetics, you can look and feel rejuvenated—all in a quick, efficient appointment.
What Are Neurotoxin Treatments?
Neurotoxin treatments are injectable, non-surgical procedures that use botulinum toxin to reduce signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. We offer two of the best neurotoxin treatments on the market: BOTOX® and Dysport®. Both are FDA-approved and work by targeting specific facial muscles, temporarily relaxing them to reduce existing wrinkles and prevent new ones.
BOTOX® is derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and works by blocking nerves from sending contraction signals to the targeted muscles. This nerve-blocking process relaxes the muscles, helping alleviate wrinkles and even pain from migraines. BOTOX® has also been proven to treat chronic conditions such as hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) and bladder incontinence.
At Hamilton Aesthetics, our team specializes in the use of Dysport® injections to improve and prevent the appearance of wrinkles. This injectable is made from a variation of the same botulinum toxin as BOTOX®. While Dysport® can treat areas similarly to BOTOX®, it is especially useful for treating larger areas, as its formulation allows for faster diffusion.
What Areas Can Be Treated?
Injectable neurotoxins are versatile and effective for treating common signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet, bunny lines, smile lines, and neck bands. They can also address chronic issues like migraines, excessive sweating, and muscle spasms.
What Are The Benefits?
Neurotoxin treatments offer a wide array of options to treat your most concerning signs of aging while still fitting into your tight schedule. In addition to saving you time on looking your best, they also provide several incredible benefits:
