Botox in North Myrtle Beach

How It Works

Also known as “neuromodulators,” Botox and Dysport are quick treatments that work beneath the surface to temporarily reduce the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines.

When your facial muscles can’t contract, your skin can’t fold and form wrinkles. After you receive Botox in North Myrtle Beach SC, you will see softer and smoother skin in just 24 to 48 hours!

During your initial consultation with Touch MedSpa for wrinkle relaxers, we will give you a comprehensive, educational overview on which injectables will best meet your needs and why.

Types of Wrinkle Relaxers

BOTOX

Botox is one of the most popular, longest-lasting wrinkle relaxers in the world.

We use it to treat expression lines on the face, especially small or sensitive areas such as around the eyes (i.e., crow’s feet).

DYSPORT

Dysport is a natural-looking, fast-acting, long-lasting prescription injection proven to help smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows — without changing the look or movement of the rest of your face.

COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT BOTOX

What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?

Botox and Dysport are very similar in results; the difference is in their application. Based on the size of your treatment area, we may recommend one over the other in order to help you achieve the results you’re looking for. To give you an idea, Dysport is best suited for larger areas, as it takes about 25 units of Dysport to equal 10 units of Botox.

What is the difference between Botox and filler?

One of the most common misconceptions about the treatments we offer at Touch MedSpa is the difference between Botox and filler. Both are highly popular and effective, and can even be combined! However, Botox and filler are fundamentally different treatments. Botox relaxes wrinkles caused by the muscles that make expressions (think laugh lines, frown lines, etc.) whereas dermal fillers actually “fill” wrinkles that might exist even when your face is relaxed!

Do I have to take off work after a Botox or Dysport injection?

There is no downtime after receiving either wrinkle relaxer, though you may experience some minor swelling or redness at the injection site for a few hours. If you’ve been searching for a Botox treatment near you, rest assured that our skilled professionals provide safe and effective care with minimal recovery time.

What are neuromodulators?

Neuromodulators describe something that inhibits a function of a neuron, preventing it from sending messages to other neurons. In the case of wrinkle-relaxing injectables, a neuromodulator blocks messages between neurons that would cause your facial muscles to contract.

Who is not a candidate for Botox?

If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, you have a skin infection, or you have a neuromuscular disorder, you are not a candidate for Botox or Dysport.

What should I avoid after Botox or Dysport?

After receiving Botox or Dysport:

• Do not rub or massage the area

• Do not lie down for at least 4 hours

• Avoid sleeping on your face the first night

• Avoid exercise for 12 hours

• Do not consume alcohol for 24 hours
