Botox is the most popular cosmetic procedure in the United States, and for good reason. With little to no downtime and proven results, Botox can be a fast, effective way to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles on the face. Botox works by reducing muscle activity in the treated area, which makes it exceptionally important to have Botox injected by a board certified plastic surgeon. Dysport is an alternative to Botox that many patients find equally beneficial for their needs. No matter how common and how easy it might seem to inject Botox and Dysport, unqualified injectors can leave you with negative results.
