About Botox/Dysport
Botox and Dysport are popular anti-aging treatments that reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Both options are FDA-approved and used safely worldwide to address signs of aging and improve skin smoothness. You can get Botox & Dysport in Roseville in Placer County with the results you need at Placer Dermatology.
What Is Botox and How Does It Work?
Botox is the brand name of a toxin made by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum that has been used for years to treat wrinkles, facial creases, and overall signs of aging in patients. It has the effect of smoothening and softening the appearance of the skin by blocking certain chemical signals from nerves to muscles, temporarily relaxing targeted muscles.
What Is Dysport?
Dysport is another botulinum toxin injectable neuromodulator that removes your fine lines and wrinkles to help you achieve smoother skin. It is approved for the glabellar lines, which are the lines between your eyebrows. It is meant for patients who have moderate or severe glabella lines. Like the other neuromodulators, you will need touchups after about three to six months.
Benefits of Botox & Dysport
Both Botox & Dysport are FDA-approved neuromodulators designed to temporarily reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. These treatments work by relaxing the facial muscles, preventing deep creases from forming. Whether you choose Dysport or Botox in our Roseville, CA practice, you can expect noticeable improvements in areas like the forehead, crow’s feet, and between the eyebrows.

Am I A Good Botox & Dysport Candidate?
Healthy patients 18 years old and above without a history of neuromuscular diseases are ideal candidates for Botox and Dysport treatment. Women who are not pregnant or nursing are good candidates. Patients experiencing early skin aging signs and still have moderate skin elasticity are excellent candidates for Dysport and Botox treatment.
Patients who are unsatisfied with the results of their regular skincare routine and are looking for an effective solution are ideal candidates.
A Botox and Dysport treatment is perfect for patients who do not want to undergo invasive surgical procedures to treat their signs of skin aging. The best candidates are patients who received ideal results from past treatments using neuromodulators.
This procedure is not appropriate to treat moderate to severe wrinkles; these are best treated with fillers. The best candidates are committed to a healthy skincare routine to prolong the effects of Botox treatment. Candidates must have realistic goals.

What to Expect With Botox and Dysport
Botox sessions are simple and quick, generally lasting 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the treated areas. Using an ultra-fine needle, our skilled, experienced, and board-certified providers, led by Dr. Artur Henke, will inject predetermined amounts of Botox into underlying wrinkle-causing facial muscles, relaxing these targeted muscles.
You may experience a slight pinch from Botox injections, and a topical anesthetic may be applied to help increase your comfort. Botox Cosmetic requires minimal downtime, and you can return to your daily activities right after treatment. However, some patients may experience slight bruising or soreness in the injection area.
You can expect the same things from a Dysport treatment session. You might notice mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, but these effects usually fade within a few hours. Results typically start to appear within two to three days and last up to four months, offering effective wrinkle reduction treatment.
What Is Aftercare Like?

Although no recovery time is required, the patient must avoid putting pressure or heat on the treated area for the first few hours. Massaging the treated area is also prohibited to prevent the Botox or Dysport solution from spreading to unwanted areas.
