At Pine and River Aesthetics, we specialize in providing top-tier aesthetic treatments, including Botox and Dysport, to help you achieve a youthful, refreshed appearance. Whether you’re looking to reduce the appearance of fine lines or prevent new wrinkles from forming, our expert injectors are here to help. Both Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved neuromodulators that work by relaxing the facial muscles that cause wrinkles, giving you smoother, more youthful-looking skin.
Botox and Dysport are both injectable treatments used to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. These neuromodulators work for dynamic wrinkles, which are the lines that appear when you make facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, or squinting.
Botox: The most well-known and widely used neuromodulator, Botox is derived from botulinum toxin and has been used for cosmetic purposes for over two decades.
Dysport: Like Botox, Dysport also relaxes facial muscles to smooth out wrinkles. It’s often preferred for some patients due to several factors such as spread, onset, etc.
While both Botox and Dysport work similarly, there are a few key differences that might make one a better choice for you:
1. Onset of Results: Dysport typically kicks in a little faster than Botox, with results visible in 2-3 days, whereas Botox usually takes 3-5 days to begin to work. Both reach their full effect in 2 weeks.
2. Dosage: Dysport units are measured differently than Botox. You’ll likely need more units of Dysport to achieve the same effect as Botox, but this doesn’t affect the cost or results. At Pine and River Aesthetics, we offer personalized consultations to help you determine which treatment is best suited to your needs.
Botox and Dysport treatments are quick, minimally invasive procedures that can typically be completed within 10-15 minutes. There’s no downtime, making these treatments perfect for anyone with a busy schedule.
1. Consultation: During your consultation, one of our experienced providers will assess your facial anatomy, listen to your concerns, and develop a customized treatment plan.
2. The Treatment: Using a fine needle, Botox or Dysport is injected into specific muscles responsible for your lines and wrinkles. Most patients describe the sensation as a small pinch.
3. Post-Treatment: After your treatment, you can resume your regular activities immediately, although we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise for 4-6 hours. No hats or headbands for 24 hours. You may notice slight redness or swelling at the injection site, but these effects are temporary and usually resolve within a few hours.
• Quick Results: Both treatments provide noticeable improvements within days.
• Natural-Looking: When performed by a skilled injector, Botox and Dysport give you a refreshed look without the “frozen” appearance.
• Preventative: Many people in their late 20s and early 30s use Botox or Dysport as a preventative measure to stop wrinkles before they form.
• Long-Lasting: Results from Botox and Dysport typically last 3-4 months, with some clients seeing results for up to 6 months.
• Minimally Invasive: No surgery or long recovery times required.
Botox and Dysport are ideal for adults who are looking to reduce or prevent the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions. They are suitable for most skin types and tones. Whether you’re in your late 20s and want to start preventive treatments or you’re in your 50s and want to smooth out deeper lines, Botox and Dysport
can help you achieve your aesthetic goals
Avoid blood thinners: For at least 48 hours before your appointment, try to avoid taking blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, and certain supplements like fish oil, as these can increase the risk of bruising.
• Clean skin: If possible, on the day of your treatment, arrive with a clean face, free of makeup or lotions.
• Stay hydrated: Drinking plenty of water before your appointment helps keep your skin in optimal condition for the treatment.

Common side effects include mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site. In rare cases, patients may experience headaches, temporary eyelid drooping, or muscle weakness.
