Dysport and Botox are two of the most popular and effective options for treating wrinkles and fine lines on the face. Dysport and Botox are able to reduce the appearance of common aesthetic concerns like smile lines and crow’s feet. At Ethemba Health and Image Centres, we offer Botox and Dysport treatments in Edmonton and Regina.
WHAT IS DYSPORT/BOTOX?
Dysport Aesthetic temporarily reduces the movement of certain upper facial muscles to help improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines (“glabellar lines”) and crow’s feet lines (“lateral canthal lines”) in adults under 65 years of age. Your untreated facial muscles will still work normally, allowing you to freely show natural facial expressions, like smiling.
ABOUT FROWN LINES & CROW’S FEET
Glabellar lines or “frown lines” are vertical wrinkles that appear between the eyebrows.
Crow’s feet are lines that appear around the outer corners of the eyes.
Frown lines and crow’s feet are created by repeated facial expressions and movements, like frowning and squinting, so they can start to appear at a younger age. But there are other factors that can cause or worsen the appearance of frown lines, including:
- Sun Exposure –UV light in the sun can damage collagen
- Aging can create a loosening of collagen fibres and decreased skin elasticity
- Smoking can reduce the amount of new collagen produced
- Repeated facial expressions
The good news is that treatments like Dysport Aesthetic can treat them both and help create a smoother, younger-looking appearance.
What to Expect from Your Dysport Treatment
Dysport Aesthetic is injected into the muscle around your frown lines and/or crow’s feet. Your doctor will determine how many injections are needed, the right dose, and where to inject for the desired effect. Treatment generally takes 5-15 minutes, but may vary from patient to patient.

The Benefits of Dysport and Botox

Botox and Dysport are most commonly used for the glabellar frown lines (the deep creases between the eyebrows that can make us look angry or tired); forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet (wrinkles around the eyes).
