BOTOX® and Dysport® Facial Relaxants
Schlamp Family Medical provides Botox and Dysport facial relaxants to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Both relaxants work on glabella lines (between the eyebrows), forehead lines, and crow’s feet by blocking the signal from the nerve to the muscle.
Relaxants operate by temporarily relaxing the muscles of the face to reduce frown lines and wrinkles. By accurately targeting the muscles responsible for creating these wrinkles, it allows the skin to smooth out while still allowing natural expressions. Treatment takes a few days to work, allow 3-7 days for visual improvement and up to two weeks for full effect. Treatment generally last three to four months.
Our treatments take about 10 to 15 minutes to perform, with very little down time - patient should remain upright for 4 hours after treatment. We recommended a consultation with one of our experienced doctors before scheduling your treatment to determine the proper dosage and placement. You can learn more about Botox at BotoxCosmetic.com.

Treatment
The treatment is quick with slight discomfort. You will be asked to produce facial movements to determine the locations and the quantity of relaxant needed.
The relaxant is then injected into the facial muscles in multiple locations. You will feel a slight pinch or burning sensation for a few seconds, and possibly slight swelling around injection sites lasting 15-30 minutes.
