FAQs
Botox
Botox is a clear injectable liquid that is administered into the targeted muscle tissues using an ultra-fine needle. It is administered into the muscles under the part of the skin at the site of wrinkles and fine lines.
Botulinum toxin in Botox acts on the nerves which carry signals to the muscles of the targeted tissues such as the face. It blocks the signals from these nerves to the muscles. As a result, the muscles become weak and no longer contract. Once the muscles become riled, the skin overlying them also relaxes due to which the wrinkles and fine lines soften.
Botox is an FDA-approved cosmetic procedure, which can be effective for the treatment of a number of skin conditions. It is recommended to reduce the signs of aging especially on the face such as the wrinkles and fine lines.
It can also be used to reduce crow’s feet, and the facial lines between the eyebrows, and on the forehead. Smile lines caused due to the repeated contractions of the muscles of the face can also be reduced by giving Botox injections.
Botox is ideal for other skin issues such as:
- Forehead rows
- Frown lines
- Vertical lines between the eyebrows popularly known as the 11’s
- Reshaping of the eyebrows and brow lift
- Lifting the corners of the mouth
- Wrinkles beside the nose called the bunny lines
- Vertical lip lines around the lips
- Reducing jowls
- Diminishing neck bands
- Correction of a gummy smile
- Correction of facial asymmetry
- Preventing deepening of wrinkles
Botox injections are also recommended for non-cosmetic reasons such as for treating health conditions. The use of Botox has been approved by the FDA for the management of a specific form of urinary incontinence.
Healthcare practitioners may recommend the administration of Botox or botulinum toxin A injection to treat involuntary dribbling of urine caused due to neurological conditions like spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis.
These conditions can lead to the overactivity of the bladder due to which patients experience frequent urge to pass urine and an inability to control the flow resulting in urinary incontinence.
Uninhibited contractions of the muscles in the urinary bladder in these cases can be managed well by Botox treatment. Botox injections can cause relaxation of the urinary bladder thereby allowing it to store urine for longer thus preventing involuntary urination and increased frequency of urination.
Botox is a quick and minimally invasive procedure during which a certified healthcare practitioner will inject Botox into the affected parts of the skin using a very small needle. The injection is administered directly into the muscles which need to be relaxed.
Botox is a safe and painless cosmetic procedure with no downtime. It does not cause any pain or discomfort. Patients may experience mild stinging sensation at the site of the treatment.
Most people experience no discomfort during and after the sessions of Botox. They can resume their routine activities immediately after the treatment. There is no pain or discomfort after the sessions.
Patients are advised to consult an expert dermatologist or a cosmetic surgeon to discuss their skin problems and expectations. The physician can guide the patients about how well Botox would be able to help improve their appearance and reduce the signs of aging or other symptoms they want to treat.
Patients should also inform the physician of the medications they are using. The use of some medications must be stopped before Botox.
If patients are using any drugs that can affect the blood clotting processes, they must stop using them before the Botox sessions to prevent the risk of bleeding or bruising. Similarly, the use of over-the-counter drugs such as aspirin and ibuprofen should also be avoided for a few days before the treatment as these drugs are known to prevent the clotting of blood and increase the risk of bruising.
Most patients are able to see a noticeable difference in their skin immediately after the Botox session. The relaxation of the muscles induced by the Botox injection can reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Patients can also notice an improvement in smile lines and crow’s feet after the session.
The results continue to improve for the next few days. Patients can notice a gradual improvement in the appearance of their skin over the next 7 to 14 days. The results usually last for about 3 to 6 months after which the patient may need another session of Botox.
The relaxation of the muscles induced by Botox typically lasts for about 3 to 6 months. As the nerves regain their functions and the effect of the injection wears off, the muscles begin to contract.
As the muscles resume their activities, the fine lines and wrinkles also re-appear slowly. These signs may need to be re-treated with another session of Botox injection.
However, this does not mean patients need to visit a cosmetic surgeon every 3 to 6 months. The duration of the results tends to improve as the patient continues to receive Botox injections at regular intervals. Repeated sessions of Botox therapy can train the muscles in the part to stay relaxed. As a result, the muscles do not contract as strongly or repeatedly as they used to do earlier even after the effect of Botox wears off. Hence, the results of this therapy can persist for longer.
This means if a patient continues to receive Botox injections at regular intervals, it can help to reduce the frequency of sessions he or she would need in the future to maintain the results.
Also, it should be noted that the outcome of Botox and the duration of the results can vary among different patients. The body of every person can metabolize the botulinum toxin at a different rate. Hence, the results may take a variable time to appear or persist for a variable duration among different individuals.
The results may also vary depending on the age of the patient, muscle mass, and the desired outcome.
The optimal results are usually achieved when the sessions are performed at regular intervals about 3 to 4 times per year. With continued use, most people find they need a reduced number of maintenance sessions to 2 to 3 visits per year.
Botox injections usually cost about $12 per unit. The entire treatments may cost between $250 to $650. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost of Botox therapy based on the data collected during the year 2018 is around $397.
The cost of Botox therapy depends on the extent of skin symptoms to be treated. If a larger area of the skin is to be treated, the costs would be higher. Similarly, the total cost would also increase with the number of sessions needed to achieve the desired outcome.
The number of areas where Botox injections need to be administered and the number of product units also need to be taken into consideration for determining the costs of Botox. Usually, the cost of Botox is higher in men as they need more injections compared to women due to their larger facial muscles.
You may feel a slight heaviness and pressure in the area treated with Botox injections. Some patients experience mild to moderate side effects such as headaches on the day of the Botox session. Slight bruising and redness may occur at the site of injection.
The side effects usually resolve spontaneously without any active treatment. In rare cases, patients may feel a sense of numbness or an inability to move the muscles in the treated part.

However, the time taken for the improvement in the skin symptoms to occur may vary among different patients. The duration may be longer if the depth of the indentation or lines being treated is more. It also depends on the type of skin and the extent of the skin surface treated during the session.
The affected nerves have “binding sites” that allow the chemical in Botox injections to adhere to their surface to inhibit the activity of the muscles. The higher number of binding sites on your nerves can ensure the results would appear more quickly. In some patients, the full results are seen after 5 days or more.
It is advisable to leave a gap of at least 4 months between 2 sessions of Botox to ensure the fullest development of the results.

Dysport has been approved to be used for cosmetic procedures in 69 countries. It has 25 years of clinical experience, which includes a large number of patients across the world who have had a remarkable change in their appearance with these injections.
Dysport helps to reduce the signs of aging by causing the relaxation of the muscles of the face. As we age, the repeated movements of the facial muscles result in the development of fine lines.

Dysport and Botox are the types of neurotoxins, which have the ability to block the contractions of the muscles. Both these injections are commonly used to treat wrinkles and fine lines on the skin as well as the excessive muscular spasms caused due to neurological disorders.
Dysport and Botox are derived from botulinum toxin and are administered in small amounts to ensure safety while maintaining their efficacy.
While both Dysport and Botox contain a similar active ingredient, the trace protein amounts may vary. This is why’ there are differences in the effectiveness and indications of both Dysport and Botox.
Dysport can reduce the appearance of fine lines, which primarily affect the area between your eyebrows called the glabella. These lines tend to extend vertically upward toward the forehead. They are usually noticeable when a person frowns.
Though occurring naturally, with advancing age, glabella lines become more prominent and persist even when a person is relaxed or not frowning. Dysport can help to reduce moderate or severe glabella wrinkles. However, this procedure is not recommended for treating mild glabella lines.
Botox, on the other hand, is more suitable for treating mild glabella lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. Similarly, the indications for Dysport and Botox vary depending on the extent of the symptoms, depth, and duration of the aging lines and other factors.
An expert dermatologist at Tight Clinic would be able to asses your skin health and recommend the most appropriate treatment depending on the types of aging lines and the results expected. The other differences between Dysport and Botox also include factors such as the number of injections required, duration of sessions, and so on.

Also, patients can go home or resume their routine work immediately after the Dysport sessions.
The zero downtime is also a great benefit of Dysport as it does not involve taking any incision or cuts through the skin.
However, patients need to avoid the excessive use of the muscles in the treated part of the skin for 1 or 2 hours after the sessions. It is also advisable to avoid strenuous exercises for the rest of the day to maintain the state of muscular relaxation. Sitting upright in a vertical position for at least 4 hours after the session is recommended for optimum benefits.
- Exercise the muscles in the treated region for about 1 or 2 hours after each session. Working out
- these muscles by frowning, raising the eyebrows, and squinting can help Botulinum Toxin in Dysport injections to enter deeper into the tissues to improve the results
- Applying ice packs to the treated part of the skin is recommended to reduce redness, swelling, and bruising.
- Do not apply any makeup immediately after the treatment. Wait for 2 to 3 hours or until the redness, swelling, and bruising have subsided before applying any makeup.
- Take a dose of acetaminophen or Tylenol if you have pain, tenderness, or discomfort.

Also, the nerves have “binding sites”, which allow Botulinum Toxin in Dysport injections to adhere to their surfaces. This action helps to inhibit the contractions of the muscles. If the number of binding sites on your nerves is more, you will be able to derive faster results as Dysport will be adhered to the sites more efficiently to induce muscle relaxation.
Patients are advised to ensure there is a minimum gap of 4 months between two Dysport sessions to allow it to produce the complete effect. The skin needs time to form new collagen fibers to fill in the gaps or depressions caused by the relaxation of the muscles. It is only when the muscles have fully relaxed, the depressions can soften or smoothen out on their own. Hence, a period of 4 months must be allowed between 2 sessions for this effect to take place
