There ain’t no shame in the Botox® and Dysport game! Whether you’re a Botox® or Dysport virgin or a seasoned veteran, your face is in good hands with us. We don’t need to tell you the benefits of Botox ® or Dysport – just turn on the television or flip through a magazine and see! Responsible for generations of smooth foreheads and disappearing crow’s feet, Botox® and Dysport can help your outside match how you feel on the inside (So basically, they can hide your WTF face). It is also great for a variety of cosmetic and medical procedures. Dot Calm Wellness: Botox game strong, ready to elevate your smooth-skin swagger!
Botox® and Dysport are also called neuromodulators, and both work in similar ways. When injected into muscles, they block certain signals that make muscles move and contract. By relaxing the muscles, movement is reduced so that frown lines appear smoother and less noticeable when making facial expressions. Once injected, the neuromodulator diminishes or stops nerve signals to your muscles where it is injected, relaxing the muscle so you move and contract less. This results in smoother less and lined skin, and an overall younger looking appearance!

Let’s make your face look fresh and hide how you really feel about people. Dysport and Botox® are placed carefully in the right problem areas to soften or remove wrinkles completely. You will still be able to move your face and show the expressions you want visible, while containing others a little bit better. No bitch slaps happening here! This treatment is great for crow’s feet, forehead, frown lines between brows and much more. And yes, women AND men get toxed.
For those whose lips tend to disappear when expressing or smiling, neuromodulators are utilized to give the upper lip a little flip for a fuller look. This is great for those who just want that added plump without committing to filler. Can also be used in conjunction with cosmetic injectable filler. The primary effect of the lip flip is to relax the muscles that link to the upper lip, allowing the lip to relax and curl outward, thus appearing larger and more defined in shape. A Mini Consult is included to discuss if you are a candidate.
Raise the natural arch of the eyebrows using neuromodulators to achieve a lifted look. Don’t worry, there’s no Spock brows happening here! It will just give you a more awake look and less of a heavy eye. By relaxing specific facial muscles that normally pull the eyebrows down, Botox® and Dysport can help to allow the lifting muscles to take over, thereby offering a Mini brow lift and a more ‘awake’ look. A Mini Consult is included prior to injection to determine if you are a candidate.
Gummy bears are lovely. Gummy smiles not so much! Neuromodulators are used to bring the gummy down a notch. Injected into the elevator muscle of the upper lip, neuromodulator can effectively treat a gummy smile by relaxing the muscles of the upper lip and thereby limiting the rise of the upper lip when smiling, which will reduce the appearance of gums when smiling. A Mini Consult is included prior to injection to determine if you’re a candidate.
You might not know this, but Botox® can be used for more than just smoothing skin and lessening wrinkles. Intense underarm sweating (t-shirt horrors), teeth clenching, and migraine/chronic headaches can all be treated with Botox®. While maybe not as glamorous as the anti-aging results you’re used to seeing, the benefits of medical Botox® can change lives, not just foreheads!
Don’t let your Chronic Headaches become such a Headache! We will say this quietly so as not to agitate your headache further….Botox® injections help alleviate those migraines that seem like they were sent from the devil. Chronic migraines, defined as headaches on at least 15 days per month, can be debilitating and affect overall quality of life. Botox® can be used as an effective preventative treatment for migraine sufferers, by blocking the release of neuro-transmitters that are linked to causing pain. While we can’t promise to prevent all the headaches life may throw at you, we CAN promise to help prevent migraine headaches.
Being pissed off, stressed and clenching your jaw, or grinding your teeth at night can leave your jaw so tight and the masseters bulging. Located on the side of your face, the masseter is one of the muscles that helps you chew and connects your cheek bone to your lower jawbone. When Botox® is injected into the masseter muscle, it temporarily blocks nerve signals in the muscles, gradually weakening it so it can’t move. Your dentist will thank you…and us… hopefully! PLUS…Botox injections leave your face looking slimmer. Say what??!! If anything, do it for vanity!
Are you suffering from Hyperhidrosis? Don’t Sweat it! Hyperhidrosis, or intense underarm sweating (T-Shirt horror), doesn’t need to be your only claim to fame. If you suffer from the embarrassment of those yellow under-arm stains, or excessive sweat marks (sometimes when you’re not even feeling particularly hot!), Botox® injections can help. Studies show that Botox® injections can reduce underarm sweating by up to 86%. By blocking a chemical in the body that activates the sweat glands, you can start drying and stop the crying. Let Dot Calm help you confidently wave your hands in the air like you just don’t care (and this time, you really won’t care)!
Botox® and Dysport are both types of neuromodulator injections, primarily known for treating and preventing wrinkles. The differences lie in the potency of trace proteins, which can make one more effective than the other. Both block muscle contractions, thereby relaxing the skin and lessening lines and wrinkles. Your Dot Calm skincare specialist can discuss with you which one will work best to achieve the results you want. Let us help you embrace all the wrinkle-free possibilities, and maybe even enjoy that mirror time just a little bit more.
We would love to say forever, but sadly that is not the case. Every person is different. We all metabolize at different paces. Some are quicker than others. Typically, booking an appointment every 3 months is sufficient. For the people who metabolize quicker or don’t like the thawing phase, we suggest micro top-ups every 2 months. It costs less and you always look brand new.
So are we!!! No one wants to have a mannequin face or shiny looking plate for a forehead. We always err on the side of caution with new clients, so we get to know your face and how it rests. Clients will return for a 2-week follow-up where we can top you up to the desired level.
You will start noticing results within days of treatment, but full results can take up to 2 weeks. So, for the excited client who wants the results ASAP…please pour a glass of wine, relax and enjoy the show!
There is minimal downtime when receiving Botox® or Dysport injections. You may be pink around the injection site for a short amount of time. This can easily be covered up with makeup if you have to run back to work after saying you had a “doctor’s appointment” to go to.
