BOTOX® & Dysport® – Beachwood, OH

What Are BOTOX® & Dysport®?

BOTOX® and Dysport® are both diluted forms of a bacteria known as botulinum toxin. The dilute can be injected into overworked muscles that have scrunched up, created lines and wrinkles, to help them relax. These can both be used as a treatment for chronic migraines and TMD (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) as well. When injected into spasming or damaged muscles, BOTOX prevents unconscious movements that can cause severe pain and slow the healing process. Results usually take somewhere between 5 to 10 days to become apparent and last between three and six months.
