Atlanta in BOTOX® & Dysport - Injectable Wrinkle Treatment
Neurotoxins are a prescription medication used to reduce facial lines and wrinkles, specifically the forehead, glabella (aka the 11s in between the brows), lateral eye area known as the crow’s feet, and upper lip. Neurotoxins can also be used in the armpits to reduce sweating. BOTOX®® and Dysport are FDA-approved for the most requested treatment areas of the face.

What Can Wrinkle-Smoothing Injectables Do?
We develop lines and wrinkles due to facial muscles that work daily to control our expressions. Neurotoxins act as communication disrupters between the nerve inputs and the muscles. This allows the muscle to relax and take a vacation from sensory input, and the decreased muscle contraction allows the skin to become smoother in appearance.
What Happens During Your Injectable Appointment?
Our Team will discuss your areas of concern and take photos to discuss your anatomy and options. We strive to work with your budget to determine the best value and treatment. If you decide to treat, we will provide you with informed consents. The injections themselves are relatively quick to administer.
- Very small amounts of your botulinum solution are injected with a tiny needle into the muscles of the concerned areas. Injections take only a few minutes to perform. Dose considerations are dependent on muscle strength, metabolism, daily medications, and activity level, and results are driven by appropriate dosing. Our Team will discuss your suggested dosing with you at your complimentary consultation.
Your Neurotoxin Treatment Options
- BOTOX®™ (Onabotulinum toxin), Dysport ™ (Abobotulinum toxin) and Xeomin®™ (Incobotulinum toxin) are the three most popular brands in the US. They are similar in their mechanism of action, but the manufacturers have proprietary formulations. Statistically, the onset and duration are similar. Talk to our team about the differences and what may best suit your needs.

Everyone loves a lifted brow. We recommend combining your neurotoxin treatment with Ultherapy™ for a super smooth brow. Ultherapy tightens the deep tissue of the skin, uses safe ultrasound technology, and helps to tighten the forehead. When Ultherapy is combined with a neurotoxin, the brows are lifted in a very natural, non-surgical way. The combination gives you the ‘Brow Wow!
