Dr. Darm, Botox and DySport

Looking on the before and afters you can see the wrinkles just disappear and here to talk about it is Dr. Darm of Aesthetic Medicine in Portland, OR.

Botox is a toxin, it paralyzes the muscles. It only stays on the skin for about 4 hours and then it bonds with the nerves and lasts up to about 3 months. The toxic portion is for only about a short time. It is one of the safest injections out there and allergic reaction is so rare.

Dysport is similar to Botox. The molecular weight is a little different from Botox. The DySport spreads out a little bit more evenly and further than the Botox. We actually have some patients that will use Dysport in some area and Botox on the other.

Some people like that Dysport lasts longer and other people like the Botox lasts longer.

The common areas to do Botox on the face are the 'Elevens' or so called the 'mommy lines' - sometimes when Botox is injected on this area it will help with migraines. Some people look mean or angry and don;t really feel that way, Botox really helps. The forehead lines or the 'surprise look' can be improve. The last area is the 'crow's feet'. Also the 'bunny lines'

Dr. Darm performs the Botox injections on Jenny's right side of the eye where the wrinkles are.

After injecting the Botox, you don't to increase the circulation of the area so don't lie down, don't rub the area, don't go to a heated area for four hours. Remember that the Botox is gone from the skin area in 4 hours and stays in the nerve.
