Neuromodulators (Botox, Newtox, Dysport)
About Neuromodulators (Botox, Newtox, Dysport)
What Are They?
Botox, Newtox, and Dysport are all neuromodulators, injectable treatments that relax targeted facial muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles, the lines that form from repeated movements like smiling, frowning, or squinting. While each is a slightly different formulation, all three work the same way: a fine needle delivers the product into the muscle underlying a bothersome wrinkle, blocking the nerve impulses that cause it to contract. The result is smoother skin and a softer, more refreshed appearance, without affecting surrounding muscles or your ability to show natural facial expressions. These treatments are ideal for the upper half of the face, including the areas around the eyes, the forehead, between the brows, and the upper nose.
What to Expect
A single injection session typically lasts under an hour and is virtually painless, with many patients describing only a brief tingling or pinching sensation. There is no downtime, so you can resume your normal routine immediately afterward. Mild, temporary side effects are common and may include tenderness at the injection site, slight bruising, redness, or swelling. Because Botox, Newtox, and Dysport each have subtle differences in onset and diffusion, your provider will help determine which option best matches your goals and treatment area.
After the Procedures
Most patients begin to notice results within three to seven days, with full effects visible within about two weeks. Results generally last three to four months, gradually fading as muscle movement returns. Touch-up treatments every three to four months are typically recommended to maintain your results over time.
