What are Botox and Dysport?
Botox and Dysport represent injectable neuromodulators that target the contracted muscles beneath the skin, responsible for the development of wrinkles, creases, and expression lines. At BP Royal Medspa, the team of skilled professionals employs Botox and Dysport to assist in rejuvenating and revitalizing your facial expressions, imbuing them with a more youthful and appealing appearance.
How do Botox and Dysport work?
Repetitive facial expressions, such as smiling, frowning, and squinting, can lead to the permanent contraction of muscles, resulting in the development of wrinkles and creases. Botox and Dysport injections function by inhibiting nerve signals to the muscles, inducing relaxation without making your face look "frozen." The experienced, licensed injectors at BP Royal Medspa employ Botox and Dysport injections to enhance your skin's smoothness and overall appearance.
Botox for Underarm Sweating (Hyperhidrosis)
Excessive underarm sweating, medically known as axillary hyperhidrosis, can be embarrassing and affect your daily life. Botox is FDA-approved for treating severe underarm sweating when topical treatments aren't effective enough.

How Does Underarm Botox Work?
Botox for hyperhidrosis works by blocking the chemical signals from the nerves that stimulate your sweat glands. When these signals are blocked, the severe sweating stops. The treatment involves multiple small injections just below the skin's surface in the underarm area. Most patients experience a dramatic reduction in sweating within 2-4 days of treatment, with full results appearing within 2 weeks. Results typically last 6-12 months, which is longer than cosmetic Botox treatments. Many patients report that this treatment is life-changing, allowing them to wear the clothes they want without worry.
When will I observe results from Botox or Dysport injections?
Typically, results from Botox and Dysport injections become noticeable within 3-5 days, with full effects becoming evident within 10-14 days.
How long will the results of Botox or Dysport injections last?
On average, your Botox and Dysport treatment results can last 3-6 months. Subsequent touch-up treatments may necessitate fewer injections than the initial procedure, contributing to the maintenance of long-lasting improvements in wrinkle reduction.
Are Botox and Dysport injections safe?
Both Botox and Dysport have received FDA approval for cosmetic use, signifying their safety and effectiveness in addressing wrinkles and lines arising from repeated facial expressions. While mild redness or irritation around the injection site may occur, these effects usually subside within 1-3 hours. Serious side effects are exceptionally rare.
Am I a suitable candidate for Botox or Dysport?
Individuals with mild to moderate wrinkles or creases attributed to repetitive facial expressions may benefit from Botox or Dysport injections. For wrinkles resulting from skin laxity and other factors, dermal fillers like Juvéderm®, Sculptra® or Restylane® may be more appropriate.
