Do you feel tired, angry or wrinkled? Want a quick fix? Then Botox® Cosmetic or Dysport® may be your answer. Dysport® is the newest alternative to Botox® Cosmetic and has many of the same benefits of Botox® Cosmetic injections. Botox® Cosmetic and Dysport® are both highly purified medications that temporarily stop facial muscles from contracting, which work to smooth wrinkles and creases, giving the face a more youthful refreshed aesthetic appearance. Injections of Botox® Cosmetic or Dysport® are performed with very fine needles inserted into the area of concern. At Nouveau Cosmetic Center, Botox® Cosmetic and Dysport® are one of the most commonly performed treatments at our Newark, Hockessin and Rehoboth Delaware offices.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. Botox® Cosmetic/Dysport®, which has been used safely to treat a variety of conditions is FDA-approved for the temporary treatment of frown lines in people aged 18 to 65.
Botox® Cosmetic or Dysport® injections are primarily used in the upper third of the face. Forehead lines, frown lines, between the eyebrows, and lines around the eyes (“crow’s feet”) respond favorably to Botox® Cosmetic or Dysport®. Frown lines around the mouth, chin creases and neck bands may also be improved with both Botox® Cosmetic and Dysport® injection, but response here varies among individuals.
This is a simple and safe procedure. Your clinician uses a tiny needle which causes a minimal sensation and discomfort. The small needle also allows for greater precision in delivery of Botox® Cosmetic/Dysport® to the specified facial area. Most patients remark that there is minimal pain, comparing the sensation to a bug bite. You can resume normal activities immediately. Botox® Cosmetic/Dysport® generally takes 3 – 7 days to take full effect.
About 3- 4 months, after which the lines gradually revert to their pre-treatment appearance if no further injections are given.
No. You should expect a dramatic improvement in the appearance of your frown lines. Overall, you’ll look more relaxed and refreshed but not like “you’ve had work done.”
No. The only expression you will lose is the unintentional frown caused by the overactive muscles between your brows.
Temporary bruising of the injection site is the most common side effect. In some cases, Botox® Cosmetic/Dysport® can migrate to the wrong muscle causing drooping of the eyelid or unevenness of the brows. With skilled technique and knowledge of the face and underlying muscles, the chances of this are reduced to about 1%. Because the effects of Botox® Cosmetic/Dypsort® are completely reversible, any side effects are temporary.
