Botox and Dysport Treatments: What to Expect Before, During, and After

Botox and Dysport treatments have become increasingly popular in the quest for a more youthful appearance. They are both injectable neuromodulators that temporarily alter the nerve impulses of targeted muscles, reducing or even eliminating wrinkles. But what exactly should one expect when they opt for these treatments?


As your trusted beauty partner, PureBeautyNP Aesthetics is committed to guiding you through the process. Here’s a detailed look at what to expect before, during, and after your Botox and Dysport treatments.


Before Your Treatment


Consultation


The journey to a more youthful appearance begins with a consultation with our professional team at PureBeautyNP Aesthetics. Our on-site Nurse Practitioner and experienced staff will discuss your aesthetic goals, assess your facial structure, and advise on the best treatment plan tailored to your needs.


Preparation


Once you've decided on the procedure, there are a few things you can do to prepare:


1. Avoid blood-thinning medications and supplements: To minimize the risk of bruising, avoid taking aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, or dietary supplements like vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, or fish oil for about a week before your treatment.

2. Stay hydrated and get a good night's rest: Always important for any procedure, that proper hydration and rest can help your body respond better to the treatment.

3. Skin health: Ensure your skin is in good health before your treatment. This means avoiding sunburns, active breakouts or open wounds in the areas you plan to get injected. If your skin is not in a healthy state, it's best to reschedule your appointment to prevent complications.


During Your Treatment


Procedure


Once you're in the examination room, your Botox/Dysport treatment will typically take 20 minutes. The procedure involves injecting tiny amounts of Botox or Dysport into the facial muscles responsible for wrinkles. These injections block the nerve signals that make your muscles contract, relaxing them and smoothing out the wrinkles.


Discomfort


Most patients report feeling minimal discomfort during the procedure. The needles used are very thin, and the injections are quick. However, if you're sensitive to pain, a topical numbing cream or ice can be applied beforehand to numb the area.


After Your Treatment


Post-Treatment Care


After your treatment, you can usually return to work or your daily activities immediately. However, it's recommended to avoid strenuous activities, lying down, or touching your face for at least 4 to 6 hours after your treatment. This helps prevent the injected material from shifting to other areas of your face.


Results


You can expect to start seeing results from your Botox or Dysport treatment as quickly as 5 to 7 days. These results can last up to 4 to 6 months, depending largely on the individual patient and their activity level. Repeated injections are recommended to maintain consistent results.


Possible Side Effects


Side effects from these treatments are usually minor and temporary. They may include mild swelling or bruising at the injection site, headache, or flu-like symptoms. If you experience any adverse reactions, our nurse practitioner and licensed staff are available to assist you.

The pure beauty of science and nature can work wonders, as done by Botox and Dysport treatments at PureBeautyNP Aesthetics. It’s a safe, effective, and minimally invasive way to achieve a more youthful appearance.
