Botox & Dysport

Botox and Dysport are both botulinum toxin type A injectables that are derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. While they both work by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, causing temporary muscle relaxation and wrinkle smoothing, there are subtle differences between the two. Dysport has a slightly different protein coating and is often described as spreading out more after injection, which can make it a better choice for treating larger areas like extensive forehead wrinkles. However, this increased diffusion could also potentially lead to more side effects if used in smaller, more precise areas. On the other hand, Botox does not spread as much after injection, offering more precision for targeting specific muscles or treating smaller areas. The choice between Botox and Dysport will depend on the specific treatment area, the patient's individual response, and the provider's expertise. During your consultation at Cambridge Skin and Wellness, our expert providers will discuss these options with you to determine the best treatment plan for your unique needs and goals.

The experience of pain or discomfort during Botox and Dysport treatments can vary among individuals, but most patients report minimal discomfort. The treatments involve a series of small injections using very fine needles. While these may cause a slight pinching or prickling sensation, they are generally well-tolerated by most people. However, everyone's pain threshold is different. At Cambridge Skin and Wellness, we prioritize your comfort during all procedures. If you are concerned about pain, we can apply a topical numbing cream to the treatment area before the procedure. This can help to numb the skin and further minimize any discomfort. Our medical providers have extensive experience and training in administering these treatments and use very precise techniques to ensure a comfortable experience for you.

Absolutely. One of the key benefits of Botox and Dysport treatments is their ability to provide a naturally rejuvenated and refreshed look when administered properly. At Cambridge Skin and Wellness, our goal is not to alter your appearance drastically or give you a "frozen" look. Instead, we aim to enhance your natural beauty by smoothing out wrinkles and fine lines in a way that still allows for normal facial expressions and movement. We carefully calibrate the dosage and placement of these treatments based on a thorough assessment of your facial anatomy, skin condition, and aesthetic goals. By doing so, we can ensure that the results look natural, balanced, and harmonious. Our expert providers have a deep understanding of facial aesthetics and use a careful, conservative approach to ensure the results enhance your features without looking overdone. The end result is a more youthful, refreshed look that still feels like you.
