What are Anti-Wrinkle Injections?
Anti-wrinkle injections known as Botox, Nuceiva, Dysport and Xeomin are muscle relaxing purified proteins. They all work to reduce the action of the muscles. When injected by one of our specialists, the relaxation of specific muscles causes a reduction in wrinkles and can give a gentle lift resulting in a smooth, refreshed, brighter version of you.
Botox and other anti-wrinkle injectables can be used as a preventive measure in your 20's and early 30's or a line reduction treatment for those 40 and up. Using the correct dosage for your face and muscle strength allows you to maintain your natural facial expressions. At Nurse Cathy Douglas, we aim for a natural and refreshed look, so you can feel confident without looking “overdone”.

Dysport
Dysport is a cosmetic injectable treatment utilizing botulinum toxin type A to diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. FDA-approved, Dysport works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles, smoothing out dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive movements like frowning or squinting. This non-invasive procedure results in a more youthful, refreshed appearance, with effects lasting for several months. Dysport's formulation features a smaller molecule size, which may allow for a broader spread, making it well-suited for larger treatment areas.
