Botulinum toxin affects muscle activity. An aesthetic assessment considers the face at rest and in motion, eyebrow position and your usual expressions. Botox and Dysport are brands of different products; selecting a product is an individual medical decision.
Who is the consultation for?
For adults exploring options for expression lines. Lines do not all have the same cause, and an injection is not appropriate in every situation.
How is this option assessed?
The consultation begins with your medical history and expectations. After examining facial movement and anatomy, the discussion covers possible treatment areas, alternatives and follow-up instructions. Treatment requires an explanation of the plan and informed consent.
What should you discuss?
- Share previous injection dates and product names whenever available.
- Mention nerve or muscle conditions, swallowing difficulties, medicines, pregnancy or breastfeeding.
- Units from different brands are not interchangeable; planning depends on the product and examination.
Limitations & risks
Possible effects include pain, bruising, headache, asymmetry and a drooping eyelid or eyebrow. Botulinum products also carry a warning about effects spreading beyond the injection site. Difficulty breathing, swallowing or speaking after treatment needs urgent medical attention.
Are Botox and Dysport the same product?
Both are brands of botulinum toxin products, but they are not identical. Product and dose selection takes place during consultation. A brand mentioned here does not establish what will be used for an individual patient.
Does every area of facial movement need treatment?
No. Each area is considered in relation to your face and preferences. The discussion may lead to a focused plan, an alternative or a decision not to treat.
