Neurotoxins

Wrinkles...nobody really wants them. Although everybody’s going to get them at some point. Injectables like Botox and Dysport, however, can help push that point way off into the distance. Ideal for treating horizontal forehead lines, “crow’s feet” around the eyes, and the dreaded “11s” between your brows, Botox works by temporarily freezing the underlying overactive muscles that are causing your lines. The result is a smooth, fresh, younger looking you.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Bruce Van Natta routinely incorporates Botox and Dysport into his facial rejuvenation procedures. He finds them to be that invaluable of a tool. While they can be great alone in younger patients who are looking to prevent these dynamic wrinkles from forming, he will often combine Botox with another non-surgical procedure such as fillers, Halo laser treatments, and InMode FaceTite™ to completely rejuvenate your entire face.

What is Botox?
Botox has become like Kleenex — a catch all term for an entire category of products. In this case, neurotoxins. Dr. Van Natta uses two:

Botox
Dysport
While Botox was the first, and probably is still the most popular, neurotoxin to be FDA approved for cosmetic use in the United States, both Botox and Dysport work in the same way. They block the nerve signals that cause the muscles in the treatment area to contract. They specifically address dynamic wrinkles or wrinkles which result from a hyperactive muscle. By temporarily weakening these muscles, Botox and Dysport can diminish the appearance of your fine lines and wrinkles. Extremely effective when properly injected, the results are visible within just a few days, and typically last for about 3 months.
