Botox is one of the most popular neuromodulators around, and is considered one of the most effective anti-aging treatments available. Botox can be used as a preventative treatment to slow the aging process, reduce wrinkles, lift and smooth areas of the face, and even slim your face.
Botox has been used since the 1970’s for the treatment of muscle spasms, but by the early 1990’s, it became a popular treatment of choice for facial wrinkles caused by muscle activity. Today, Botox is the most frequent non-surgical anti-aging aesthetic procedure performed. Botox can be the key for prevention of facial prevention of facial lines and muscular contractions.
When Botox is injected into a muscle, that specific muscle relaxes and becomes unable to contract temporarily for 3-4 months.

Although made by different companies, Botox and Dysport have similar effects and longevity. Just as some patients prefer Advil over Tylenol, there are patients who prefer Botox over Dysport and vice versa for various reasons.
Dysport requires 3 times as much units as Botox to get the same effect. However, this does not mean it isn’t as good, it’s simply how the dosing works. For example, to treat a typical frown area, it takes 20 units of Botox or 60 units of Dysport. The cost is roughly $240 for both brands and the fluid volume that is needed for both is exactly the same.
The cost for Botox is $12/unit. Typical costs for crows feet is $240-$300, frown is $120-$300, and forehead is $120-$300. The actual cost of will vary depending on your needs.
