Frequently Asked Questions:
What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?
Botox and Dysport are both neuromodulators that temporarily relax facial muscles to smooth fine lines and wrinkles. Dysport typically spreads more quickly, making it ideal for larger areas, while Botox offers more precision for smaller areas.
How long do results typically last?
Results usually last 3 to 4 months for both Botox and Dysport, depending on the treatment area and individual metabolism.
Is there any downtime after the treatment?
There is no downtime. You may return to normal activities immediately, though we advise avoiding strenuous exercise or lying down for 4 hours post-treatment.
How many units will I need?
This depends on the area being treated and your muscle strength. A consultation will determine the exact number of units required.
Are Botox and Dysport safe?
Yes, when administered by trained professionals, they are safe and FDA-approved for cosmetic use.
Can Botox or Dysport help with excessive underarm sweating?
Yes. Both Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved to treat hyperhidrosis, or excessive underarm sweating. The injections temporarily block the nerves that trigger sweat glands, significantly reducing sweat production in the treated area.
How long do results last for underarm Botox?
Results typically last 4 to 6 months, with some patients experiencing dryness for even longer. Many patients return seasonally to stay dry and confident year-round.
Is this treatment safe and effective?
Yes. Botox for hyperhidrosis is a safe, well-established treatment that has helped thousands of patients feel more comfortable in both social and professional settings.
What does Botox or Dysport do for the neck?
These neurotoxins can be used to relax the platysma muscles that cause vertical neck bands, softening their appearance. They can also help reduce fine lines and creases in the neck by limiting repetitive movements.
How soon will I see results from neck Botox?
Results typically begin to appear within 3 to 5 days, with full effects visible in about 2 weeks. You’ll notice a smoother, more youthful-looking neck.
Is neck Botox painful or risky?
Discomfort is minimal and treatment is quick, usually under 15 minutes. Risks are very low when performed by a qualified medical professional, like our team here at Body Sculpture of Little Rock.
How does Botox or Dysport help with TMJ?
These injections relax the masseter muscles in the jaw, which are often overactive in people with TMJ disorders or teeth grinding (bruxism). This relieves tension, reduces jaw pain, and can even improve headaches related to TMJ.
Can this treatment slim the jawline too?
Yes. In addition to pain relief, relaxing the masseter muscle can create a more tapered, V-shaped jawline, especially for those with a square or bulky jaw from muscle overuse.
How often do I need TMJ Botox treatments?
Most patients benefit from treatment every 3 to 4 months, though some may go longer between visits depending on their individual response.
