Botox© and Dysport® Injections with Miami Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Bared

Botox and Dysport Injections

Botox© and Dysport are FDA approved injectable forms of botulinum toxins, a neuromuscular blocker that temporarily inhibits the signal between the nerve fiber and the muscle fiber. By doing so it serves to relax the muscles where it is placed. Placing Botox or Dysport in the muscles of face it helps to decrease the wrinkles found in the overlying skin. Similar to Botox treatments, Dysport can be used to decrease the fine lines and wrinkles caused by the muscle contraction in the forehead (frown lines) and around the eyes (crow’s feet) and achieve natural looking results without plastic surgery or dermal fillers.

We can also use it in the neck to help decrease neck bands caused by the superficial muscles of the neck. When used appropriately in certain areas of the face, this wrinkle treatment also results in a more relaxed facial appearance. Its use on the muscles of the forehead helps to soften facial expressions often preventing the tense or angry look to the face. Botox is quite safe with very few side effects and board certified plastic surgeons had been therapeutically using it for over twenty years. Newer uses of the Botox and Dysport treatment have shown to be effective in helping with the grinding of teeth or bruxism. It is also effective with excessively sweaty palms and armpits in patients with hyperhidrosis when placed in the palms and the underarm, respectively.

What to Expect

Botox is placed using a very small needle. To minimize the chances of bruising and to provide maximum comfort, we place an icepack over the skin before the procedure. Patients can return to work immediately but should refrain from exercising for 24 after the procedure.
