BOTOX® Cosmetic, And Dysport®

The appearance of wrinkles, whether static (wrinkles seen at rest) or dynamic (wrinkles seen when smiling or frowning) come naturally as we age. Using neuromodulating injectables like BOTOX® Cosmetic, or Dysport®‎, the injection team at Shadfar Facial Plastic Surgery can soften wrinkles, sculpt the brow, and refresh the upper third of the face.

The Technique

Injections with neuromodulators are performed in the office. Our team offers topical anesthesia creams for those patients who desire it, however most patients do not require any anesthesia. Based on the examination performed by your injector, each patient will have an individualized treatment plan. Our team performs all injections isolating the muscles in the area of concern, while using the fewest number of units to achieve an outstanding natural result, without an over-injected “frozen” look.

The Recovery

Following neuromodulator injections patients are free to go about their day with little to no restrictions. A cool compress is provided to patients and can be used for the first few hours after injection. Patients will notice minimal swelling around the site of each injection with some redness that fades by that evening. Infrequently, patients may experience bruising following injections. The effects of the injections are not immediate, and patients can expect to see some results by day 3-7.

The Results

BOTOX® Cosmetic, and Dysport®‎ can each provide months of rejuvenation. After injections, patients should notice a more refreshed and youthful aesthetic unencumbered by fine lines and dynamic wrinkles. The lifespan of the results differs slightly for each neuromodulator, with the average outcome being 10-12 weeks.

How Often Should I Undergo Injections?

Most individuals experience optimal results with approximately three to four treatments per year, but you should generally pursue injections as necessary based on how long the effects of your enhancement last. The longevity of BOTOX® Cosmetic, and Dysport®‎ is not the same for each product or patient, therefore the type of injectable you opt to undergo will influence how often you require treatment. The location of your neuromodulating injections may also affect the frequency with which you may need a touch-up treatment. Every person ages at a unique rate and results will vary from patient to patient. Upon examining the depth of your wrinkles, our team can formulate a long-term treatment plan based on the goals you hope to achieve. To further prolong the outcome of your injections, Dr. Shadfar recommends wearing sunscreen daily and avoiding activities that can prematurely age the skin, such as artificial tanning. Thanks to the convenience and effectiveness of cosmetic injectables, many patients are able to easily preserve their results with periodic touch-up treatments.

“Dr. Shadfar and his staff are the greatest! After trying him for the first time, I will never go anywhere else for my Botox, filler, or anti-aging skin treatments and laser! Dr. Shadfar truly cares about his patients and how they look and feel. He is a perfectionist and takes that extra time to make sure the end result is top-notch! My appointments are always enjoyable, and my skin looks and feels better than it ever has. All of my friends that I have sent to him all agree! Thank you so much, Dr. Shadfar!”
