Botox® and Dysport® are neuromodulators—purified proteins derived from botulinum toxin type A. When injected in small, targeted doses, they temporarily relax specific facial muscles, softening existing expression lines and helping prevent new ones from forming.

Both products work in a very similar way and deliver beautiful results. Dysport® may spread slightly more, making it well-suited for larger treatment areas like the forehead, while Botox® is often chosen for more precise or localized treatments. Your injector will recommend the best option for your goals.

Most clients begin to notice smoothing within 3–5 days, with full results appearing by 14 days after treatment.

On average, results last 3–4 months, depending on the area treated, the dose used, and individual factors such as metabolism and muscle strength. With consistent treatments, the effects may last longer as muscles become “trained” to contract less intensely over time.

No. When injected by an experienced medical professional, neuromodulators create a soft, natural, and refreshed look. Our approach at The Beauty Development focuses on precision and balance, maintaining your natural facial expressions.

Discomfort is minimal. The injections are performed with very fine needles, and most people describe the sensation as a quick pinch. The procedure typically takes 10–20 minutes, and no numbing is usually required.

There’s virtually no downtime. You may notice small bumps, slight redness, or minimal bruising at the injection sites, which typically resolve within minutes to a few hours. Most clients return to regular activities within hours of having their appointment.

Yes. These treatments have been extensively studied and used for both cosmetic and medical purposes for decades. When administered by a qualified medical injector, they have a high safety profile. Side effects are typically mild and temporary.

Yes! Many clients in their 20s and 30s start with small doses as a preventative measure. By relaxing the muscles responsible for expression lines early on, neuromodulators can help delay the formation of deeper wrinkles over time.

Most clients schedule treatments every 3–4 months to maintain smooth, consistent results. Regular maintenance can also help reduce the amount of product needed over time.

Adults who want to soften lines, refresh their appearance, or prevent future wrinkles may be great candidates. A consultation with our medical team will help determine the most appropriate treatment plan for your goals.

Absolutely. Botox® and Dysport® pair beautifully with dermal fillers, laser rejuvenation, and medical-grade skincare for comprehensive facial enhancement and natural, balanced results.

Expression lines, such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet will form over time due to repeated muscle contractions. Neuromodulators block the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that triggers muscle movement. By temporarily relaxing these muscles, the overlying skin smooths out, softening existing wrinkles and preventing the formation of deeper creases.

Neuromodulators can be used for both cosmetic enhancement and therapeutic indications. Common areas include:

• Forehead lines
• Frown lines (glabellar lines)
• Crow’s feet
• Bunny lines (nose wrinkles)
• Lip flip or gummy smile
• Downturned corners of the mouth
• Chin dimpling 
• Jawline slimming or TMJ relief (masseter reduction)
• Platysmal bands (neck rejuvenation)
• Brow lift for subtle shaping

• Softens existing wrinkles and lines
• Prevents the formation of new lines with regular treatments
• Creates a refreshed, rested, and natural appearance
• No downtime 
• Can be customized for subtle refinement or more dramatic changes
• Therapeutic benefits for migraines, TMJ, and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)

Your appointment begins with a personalized consultation to assess facial anatomy, expression patterns, and aesthetic goals. The treatment itself typically takes 10–20 minutes, involving a series of small, precise injections. Most clients describe the sensation as a quick pinch, and discomfort is minimal. Mild redness or tiny bumps at the injection site may occur and typically resolve within 15–30 minutes.

Yes — when performed by a trained medical professional. Neuromodulators have been extensively studied, with a strong safety profile and decades of clinical use. Side effects are generally mild and temporary, such as slight redness, bruising, or a mild headache. Rare complications can occur, which is why treatment should always be administered in a medical setting.

Neuromodulators are suitable for both women and men who wish to soften or prevent dynamic wrinkles, or subtly reshape certain features (e.g., brow lift, jawline slimming). Most clients start treatments in their late 20s to early 30s as a preventative measure, but there’s no “right” age, it’s more about your unique goals.
