Skip to content Botox and Dysport are treatments used to treat and prevent fine lines, wrinkles, and deeper facial furrows. Botox & Dysport treatments deliver subtle yet impactful results with no downtime, and have a wide variety of uses for the face, neck, & body. Wrinkle relaxer treatments visibly reduce wrinkles for up to 3-4 months post-treatment. These injections target dynamic wrinkles formed by facial movement. Botox & Dysport injections reduce these wrinkles strategically, allowing for a more pleasant and youthful appearance.
When you receive Botox injections at Gig Harbor Aesthetics, our expert Registered Nurses or Nurse Practitioner will deliver your treatment. Dosage is carefully customized based on your unique muscle strength and movement patterns.
Botox or Dysport can help prevent or treat the wrinkles and lines of your forehead, giving a refreshed appearance. To achieve balanced and natural results, we treat the furrow lines or “11s” in combination with the forehead.
This is a nickname for the fine lines and wrinkles formed around the eyes. We can treat this area with Botox or Dysport to help smooth these lines and give the eyes an open and refreshed appearance.
The platysma muscle creates the vertical bands that run down the neck. Botox or Dysport can soften these bands. This treatment is also known as the “Nefertiti Neck Lift” because of its ability to smooth the neck and provide subtle lifting to the face.
Treating the masseter muscle can alleviate jaw tension that leads to clenching and grinding of the teeth. By relaxing this muscle, Botox and Dysport can slim the jaw. In some patients, this can also alleviate pain associated with clenching and grinding the teeth. For facial slimming results, consistent treatment every 3-6 months is recommended.
Botox is an FDA-approved treatment for excessive underarm perspiration. On average, results last 6 months.
Botox or Dysport can treat a dimpled or “orange peel” chin appearance. This will smooth the skin on the chin for a youthful and relaxed look.
A lip flip is performed by injecting Botox or Dysport into the upper lip to make the upper lip appear fuller when smiling. Patients who have a “disappearing upper lip” or gummy smile will benefit most from this treatment. The “gummy smile” treatment is another option to reduce the show of the gums when smiling. These treatments differ from using a dermal filler for the lips.

Botox and Dysport are both medications called neuromodulators. They work by reducing muscle activity that lead to wrinkling or furrowing. Dysport and Botox are two different brands but work very similarly. Dysport kicks in quicker. Based on patient goals and facial assessment, your injector will make a recommendation of which to utilize.
Both Botox and Dysport take up to 14 days to be fully kicked in. You will likely notice results within the first week, but the treatment will not take full effect for two weeks. If it is your first time receiving neuromodulator injections at our office, you will come back for a follow up visit two weeks after your initial treatment. The purpose of this is for the patient and injector to assess results. Occasionally, minor adjustments may be necessary at the follow up appointment, but this is not always the case.
Results from botox and Dysport are not permanent. Results last about 3-4 months. In order to maintain results, re-injection is suggested routinely every 3-4 months for as long as the patient desires. Without maintenance appointments, the Botox and Dysport wear off and the muscles regain their normal activity.
Your first appointment will take about 30 minutes. If it is your first time, please arrive five minutes early to fill out consents and medical history forms.
There is no downtime with Botox/Dysport injections. It is possible to get a small bruise but unlikely. You can return to your normal activities immediately.
The number of units of Botox or Dysport needed will depend on the patient’s goals, and the strength of the muscles being treated. Your injector will calculate dosage dependent on assessment at your consultation.
