BOTOX + DYSPORT

HOW DO BOTOX + DYSPORT WORK?

In the world of aesthetic medicine, Botox and Dysport have become household names, renowned for their ability to smooth wrinkles and rejuvenate appearance. But how exactly do these treatments work, and what sets apart the experience at Hazel and Honey Medspa in Wichita, KS? Let's delve into the science behind these popular injectables and explore the expertise that makes this medspa a standout in the industry.

The Mechanics of Botox and Dysport

Botox and Dysport are both neurotoxins derived from botulinum toxin type A. While they have slight differences, their fundamental mechanism of action is the same:

  • Muscle Relaxation: These injectables work by temporarily blocking nerve signals to specific muscles, causing them to relax.

  • Wrinkle Reduction: When the targeted muscles relax, the skin above them smooths out, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

  • Preventative Action: Regular treatments can also help prevent the formation of new wrinkles by training facial muscles to contract less forcefully over time.

  • Temporary Effects: The results typically last 3-6 months, after which the treatment can be safely repeated.

These treatments are most commonly used for:

  • Forehead lines

  • Frown lines between the eyebrows

  • Crow's feet around the eyes

  • Lip lines

  • Neck bands
