Botox and Dysport
Are you looking for a non-invasive way to refresh your look? Botox and Dysport are treatments that can do just that. These trusted cosmetic treatments can reduce the appearance of wrinkles, prevent signs of aging, and even provide a more balanced look to the face. Get ready to look—and feel—your best with our curated selection.
What Is Botox and Dysport?
Botox and Dysport are injectable treatments containing botulinum toxin. This active ingredient disrupts the signal transmission between nerves and targeted muscles, reducing muscle movement and resulting in a smoother, wrinkle-free appearance.
Botox and Dysport are typically applied to dynamic facial areas like forehead lines, crow’s feet around the eyes, and glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows), but can also effectively treat various other facial regions, including lip lines, marionette lines, and dimples.
By targeting wrinkles and fine lines caused by repetitive muscle movements like frowning, pursing lips, squinting, or smiling, these treatments help restore and maintain your youthful appearance.

Benefits of Botox and Dysport
Some of the benefits our clients at SKN BAR Rx enjoy include:
No downtime
Minimally invasive treatment with minimal discomfort
Visible changes after one treatment
Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in target treatment areas
Visible improvement over time with long-term treatment
We love offering both Botox and Dysport: these quick, simple injections meet high standards of aesthetic care while rejuvenating your appearance in under 30 minutes.
Our Botox and Dysport Treatments
We offer two popular injectables, both of which contain the same active ingredient: botulinum toxin type A. While both have significant benefits, you may find one better fits your treatment needs than another when creating your treatment plan with a SKN BAR Rx specialist.
Botox
Botox is one of the oldest aesthetic treatments still used today. It was first FDA-approved in 1989 for medical benefits like treating migraines. It was later approved in 2002 for cosmetic use and is widely loved for its versatility. It can treat crow’s feet, frown lines, glabellar lines, smile lines, forehead lines, lip lines, chin dimpling, and banding around the neck. The effects of Botox last for three to four months.

Dysport
Dysport is a newer formulation and is also a popular choice to treat fine lines and wrinkles. Research has also shown it may last longer than Botox, with the potential for results lasting up to five months. This can make it an appealing option for those targeting frown lines specifically.

Results
Botox and Dysport treatments will take up to 14 days to fully take effect, at which point you should see noticeable changes where the injections were placed. For best results, we recommend getting maintenance treatments every 3-4 months. You can also adhere to a SKN BAR Rx recommended skincare routine, stay out of the sun and use sunscreen regularly, and adhere to a healthy lifestyle to try and ensure the best results possible.



Preparing for Your Botox and Dysport Treatment
There are a few things you can do to prepare for treatment. We recommend scheduling your appointment 14 days before any significant events to give the full effects time to show. Additionally, here are a few things we ask of patients leading up to their appointments:
To reduce the risk of bruising, avoid blood-thinning medications, including aspirin and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), for several days before your appointment. However, always consult with your healthcare provider before stopping any prescribed medications.
Limit or avoid alcohol intake in the days leading up to your BOTOX treatment, as alcohol can also contribute to increased bruising.
Limit sun exposure and tanning bed use before your treatment. Sunburn or overly tanned skin can increase the risk of complications.
Some supplements, such as fish oil, vitamin E, and ginseng, can have blood-thinning effects. Avoid these supplements before your treatment, but again, consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice. On the other hand, taking arnica supplements before injections can help prevent bruising.
Refrain from intense physical activities or strenuous exercise on the day of your treatment. This can help minimize the risk of bruising and promote a smoother recovery.
If possible, arrive at your appointment with a clean face, free of makeup and skincare products.
Maintain good hydration before and after the appointment. Well-hydrated skin can make the injection process smoother.
Common FAQs
You may experience some side effects post-treatment. We recommend planning for at least a day of downtime. During this time, avoid strenuous exercise, active skincare products, massages & facials, and tight-fitting garments on the treatment area. We also ask that you avoid alcohol for 48 hours to reduce the possibility of bruising and only apply makeup once the swelling has gone down.
