Botox & Dysport: Real-life “Fountain of Youth”

Posted on May 31, 2017

For more than fifteen years now, botulinum toxin has been FDA-approved for treating frown lines (a.k.a wrinkles), starting with Botox. Now in addition to Botox, Dysport has also been very successfully used and well-liked by practitioners and patients alike. They are widely used to improve and prevent frown lines in-between the eyebrows, the horizontal lines on the forehead, and the “crow’s feet” (on the sides of the corner of the eyes) as some of the most common areas of use.

For those of us who are 30 years old or above, botulinum toxin is used not only for corrective reasons, but also to prevent lines from forming on the areas from our routine facial expressions. These days, millennials are trying Botox & Dysport and discovering their benefits to be the closest to a real-life “fountain of youth”. When botulinum toxin is done for preventative purposes, less amount may be needed for each treatment, as opposed to corrective purposes. The amount injected is customized to individual needs, usually depending on how strong the muscles are in a specific area.

As our own Dr. Kathryn Russell told our local TV station WINK News recently in the segment “Botox booming among millennials,” starting Botox injections before wrinkles have a chance to form may prevent them from forming.
