Botox & Dysport in South Boston
WHAT ARE NEUROTOXIN WRINKLE TREATMENTS?
As you get older you will likely start seeing fine lines and wrinkles start being more prevalent on your face. These are usually the results of various factors: repeated muscle movements (frowning, smiling, raising eyebrows, etc...), sun damage, and collagen loss. A Neurotoxin injectable treatment from Boston Beautox in South Boston can help eliminate or improve those fine lines and wrinkles.
Neurotoxin treatments are performed by our clinical team, under the supervision of Medical Director Dr. Ronald Gomes, MD.
HOW DO BOTOX AND DYSPORT WORK?
Neurotoxins, such as Botox® by Allergan Aesthetics or Dysport® by Galderma, work by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. These FDA-approved treatments contain a purified form of the botulinum toxin, which is injected into specific muscles in the targeted area.
Once injected, the neurotoxin attaches to the nerve endings, preventing the release of a neurotransmitter called acetylcholine. As a result, the affected muscles are unable to contract, leading to a temporary relaxation. This relaxation helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines that are caused by repetitive muscle movements.

BOTOX AND DYSPORT FAQS
What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?
Botox and Dysport are both FDA-approved neurotoxin injectables made from purified botulinum toxin, but they have slightly different molecular formulations. Dysport tends to spread more broadly, which can be advantageous for larger areas like the forehead. Botox provides more targeted precision, making it ideal for smaller areas such as crow's feet. Your provider at Boston Beautox will recommend the right option for your goals.
How long do Botox and Dysport results last?
Results from both Botox and Dysport typically last between three and four months. As the neurotoxin gradually metabolizes, muscle movement and expression gradually return. Most patients schedule maintenance appointments every three to four months. With consistent treatment, some patients find that their results may extend slightly over time.
When will I see results after my Botox or Dysport treatment?
You can generally expect to notice the early effects of your neurotoxin treatment within three to seven days, with full results appearing around the two-week mark. Results are not immediate — the botulinum toxin needs time to bind to nerve receptors and relax the targeted muscles. A follow-up appointment is available if you'd like to assess your results at two weeks.
Are Botox and Dysport safe?
Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved neurotoxin injectables with extensive safety records when administered by a trained provider. As with any injectable treatment, minor temporary side effects such as bruising, swelling, or mild headache at the injection site can occur. These treatments are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Your provider will review your health history before recommending treatment.
Do Botox or Dysport injections hurt?
Most patients describe the sensation of neurotoxin injections as a brief pinch or mild sting at each injection point. The needles used are very fine, and most treatments are completed in under 15 minutes with no anesthesia required. Any discomfort resolves immediately after each injection. If you're concerned about sensitivity, let your provider know — we want your experience to be as comfortable as possible.
How much does Botox or Dysport cost in South Boston?
Pricing for Botox and Dysport is typically quoted per unit or per treatment area, and the number of units needed varies by individual anatomy, muscle strength, and treatment goals. We recommend a personalized consultation at Boston Beautox to receive an accurate estimate for your treatment.
