Botox and Dysport

Unlocking Smooth, Radiant Skin: The Science of Botox and Dysport at Boston Beautox


At Boston Beautox, our expert team is dedicated to providing cutting-edge aesthetic treatments that transform your complexion. Botox and Dysport are two popular wrinkle-relaxing injectables that have revolutionized the fight against fine lines and wrinkles. Let's delve into the science behind these treatments.


How Botox and Dysport Work


Facial muscles can be categorized into two types:

  1. Dynamic muscles: Control facial expressions (smiling, frowning, etc.)
  2. Static muscles: Maintain facial structure (eyebrow lift, facial contours)


Botox and Dysport target dynamic muscles, temporarily relaxing them to:

  • Reduce muscle contractions that cause wrinkles
  • Block nerve signals to minimize facial expressions


Here's the process:

  1. Neurotransmitter release: Nerve cells release chemicals (acetylcholine) to signal muscle contraction.
  2. Botox/Dysport binding: The neurotoxin binds to nerve terminals, blocking acetylcholine release.
  3. Muscle relaxation: Dynamic muscles relax, reducing wrinkle formation.


By selectively relaxing dynamic muscles, Botox and Dysport:

  • Soften facial expressions
  • Reduce wrinkle depth
  • Prevent new wrinkles from forming


The Difference Between Botox and Dysport


While both treatments share similarities, key differences set them apart:

  • Spread: Dysport has a wider spread, ideal for larger areas (forehead)
  • Localization: Botox has a more localized effect, perfect for targeted wrinkles (Crow's Feet)

Our expert injectors will determine the best treatment for your unique needs.
