BOTOX and Dysport are among the most effective nonsurgical treatments for softening expression lines such as crow’s feet and worry lines. When performed with precision, these treatments relax targeted muscles without freezing your expression, helping you look refreshed.
Dr. Moriyike Akinosun takes a thoughtful, tailored approach to every treatment, using neuromodulators such as BOTOX and Dysport to enhance your natural features while preserving movement and expression.
What Are BOTOX and Dysport?
BOTOX and Dysport are purified forms of botulinum toxin type A that temporarily relax specific facial muscles. By reducing repetitive muscle movement, they soften dynamic wrinkles—lines caused by expressions like frowning, squinting, or raising your brows.
Common treatment areas include the forehead, frown lines (between the brows), and crow’s feet. Results are subtle and natural when dosing and placement are carefully customized.
Other Cosmetic Uses for BOTOX
Dr. Akinosun uses BOTOX for other cosmetic purposes beyond softening expression lines.
Lip Flip
A BOTOX lip flip relaxes the muscles around the upper lip, allowing the upper lip to gently roll upward. This creates the appearance of a fuller lip without adding volume. In some cases, a lip flip combined with lip filler produces the desired results.
Jawline Slimming
Targeting the masseter muscles (used for chewing) can create a slimmer, more contoured lower face. Using BOTOX in this manner is often referred to as jawline slimming or facial contouring.
Chin Dimpling and Downturned Mouth
Neuromodulators can smooth skin texture on the chin and relax the muscles that pull the corners of the mouth downward, creating a more neutral or slightly lifted appearance.
Neck Bands
Careful BOTOX placement along the platysma muscles can minimize visible neck bands and improve the overall appearance of the neck.
Each application requires precise technique and a deep understanding of facial anatomy to ensure balanced, natural-looking results.
Non-Cosmetic Uses for BOTOX
In addition to aesthetic benefits, BOTOX is FDA-approved to treat certain medical conditions. These procedures are not covered by insurance.
Chronic Migraines
BOTOX is used to help reduce the frequency and severity of chronic migraines by targeting specific muscle groups and nerve pathways involved in headache patterns.
Hyperhidrosis
(Excessive Sweating)
BOTOX is also an effective treatment for hyperhidrosis, which commonly affects the underarms, palms, and soles of the feet. Blocking signals to the sweat glands can significantly reduce excessive sweating.
Dr. Akinosun evaluates each patient individually to determine whether these treatments are appropriate based on symptoms and medical history.
BOTOX vs. Dysport: What’s the Difference?
BOTOX and Dysport work in very similar ways, but their subtle differences may influence which option is best for you.
BOTOX has been widely used for wrinkle reduction for more than 20 years and is known for precise, targeted treatment. Dysport tends to take effect slightly faster than BOTOX.
Ultimately, both products are highly effective, and the choice often comes down to your treatment goals and how your body responds.
Dr. Akinosun will recommend the most appropriate option based on your anatomy and desired outcome.
What To Expect During Treatment
BOTOX and Dysport treatments are quick, in-office procedures that typically take about 10 to 20 minutes. During treatment, several small injections are placed into targeted muscles with minimal discomfort.
There is little to no downtime, and most patients return to normal activities immediately after treatment. You’ll receive detailed aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.
