Botox and Dysport are two of the most popular and effective non-surgical cosmetic treatments available today. At the Aesthetic Center of Richmond Dermatology, our skilled injectors use Botox and Dysport to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles and address various medical conditions. Botox and Dysport are neurotoxins that temporarily relax the muscles that cause wrinkles, providing a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion. With their quick treatment times, minimal discomfort, and no downtime, Botox and Dysport are convenient and effective ways to attain a more refreshed and rejuvenated appearance.
We use Botox and Dysport to treat various concerns on the face and body. Our most popular treatment areas include:
Neurotoxins like Botox and Dysport temporarily block the signals between nerves and muscles. When injected into specific muscles, the neurotoxin blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that causes muscle contractions. This prevents the muscles from contracting excessively, which can cause wrinkles and lines to form on the skin. By relaxing these muscles, neurotoxins can smooth existing wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming, resulting in a more youthful and refreshed appearance.
