Pensacola Physical Medicine offers two injectable products to treat wrinkles: Botox and Dysport.
Pensacola Botox:
Pensacola Botox, short for botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxin used for various medical and cosmetic purposes. It works by temporarily paralyzing or weakening muscles. In cosmetic applications, the temporary muscle relaxation caused by Botox reduces wrinkles and lines associated with repetitive facial expressions. For example, it can soften frown lines between the eyebrows, smooth forehead wrinkles, and lessen the appearance of crow's feet around the eyes.
-Botox lasts on average 3-4 Months
-You can see the maximum results of your treatment in 7 to 14 days after treatment
-Price $12 per unit
-Areas treated and average units used:
Pensacola Dysport:
Pensacola Dysport works in the same way as Botox to block chemical signals. Dysport is much more diluted and spreads quickly compared to Botox. This makes it great for larger surface areas like the forehead. Botox is much more potent, making it amazing for small areas and pesky wrinkles like Crow's feet.
-Dysport lasts 3-4 months
-You can see the results of your treatment in 48 hours with maximum results in 7 days
-Price $7 unit
Dysport requires a greater number of units per treatment (the general rule is 1 unit of Botox = 3 units of Dysport)

While Botox and dermal fillers have different purposes and distinct mechanisms of action, using them together can provide a more complete and harmonious facial makeover. Here's how the two treatments can work together:
