Botox and Dysport
Ascend Aesthetics
As we journey through life, our skin undergoes natural changes that manifest as wrinkles and fine lines, even with conscientious efforts to shield against sun exposure and maintain meticulous skincare routines. These inevitable signs of aging, such as crow’s feet around the eyes and creases on the forehead and around the mouth, arise from the gradual reduction in collagen production within the skin. Collagen, a crucial protein responsible for skin elasticity and firmness, diminishes with age, leading to a loss of structural support and resilience.
The appearance of aging skin can profoundly impact one’s self-esteem and confidence. For many individuals, wrinkles and fine lines serve as tangible reminders of the passage of time and the inevitability of aging. This realization often prompts a search for effective skincare solutions and treatments aimed at minimizing these visible signs, from moisturizers and serums to more advanced medical interventions like dermal fillers and laser therapies.
While aging is a natural process, maintaining a healthy lifestyle and adopting a comprehensive skincare regimen can help mitigate its effects. Regular use of sunscreen, hydrating moisturizers, and products containing retinoids or peptides can support skin health and minimize the appearance of wrinkles over time. Embracing these practices not only enhances external appearance but also fosters a positive self-image and confidence in one’s overall well-being.
About BOTOX Cosmetic
BOTOX is highly effective in temporarily smoothing fine lines and creases that result from repetitive facial muscle movements such as frowning, squinting, and smiling. Over time, these expressions contribute to the formation of wrinkles, particularly around the eyes, forehead, and mouth. Our Los Angeles BOTOX treatments are specifically designed to address these dynamic wrinkles by relaxing the underlying muscle activity responsible for their appearance.
By injecting BOTOX into targeted facial muscles, we can achieve a noticeable reduction in the visibility of wrinkles, leaving your skin looking rejuvenated and more youthful. This treatment not only softens existing lines but also helps prevent them from deepening over time. Clients often experience a refreshed and well-rested appearance post-treatment, enhancing their overall facial aesthetics.
Choosing BOTOX offers a non-invasive solution to maintaining a natural look without the need for surgical procedures. It’s a popular choice for individuals seeking to subtly enhance their facial appearance and regain confidence in their skin’s smoothness and vitality.
What is BOTOX Made Of?
BOTOX remains the world’s most popular cosmetic injectable, celebrated for its exceptional ability to smooth facial wrinkles and lines. The key active ingredient in BOTOX is derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When administered in small, precise doses, it works by temporarily relaxing targeted muscles, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance. This treatment is FDA-approved, ensuring its safety and efficacy, and it has become a trusted choice for countless individuals seeking a non-surgical solution to combat the signs of aging.
The procedure is minimally invasive and relatively quick, often referred to as a “lunchtime treatment” due to the short duration of the session. Patients can typically resume their normal activities immediately afterward, making it a convenient option for those with busy lifestyles. BOTOX is not only effective for smoothing existing wrinkles but also for preventing the formation of new lines, offering both corrective and preventative benefits.
Its popularity continues to rise, with hundreds of thousands of people relying on its proven results to enhance their natural beauty and boost their confidence. Whether used for forehead lines, crow’s feet, or frown lines, BOTOX delivers a refreshed and rejuvenated look, making it a cornerstone in modern cosmetic treatments.

What Can BOTOX Do for My Look?
BOTOX is highly effective in treating deep lines and creases on the forehead, between the brows, crow’s feet, lipstick lines, and bunny lines on the nose. It also smooths vertical neck bands and can be injected into overactive jaw muscles to reduce a “square” facial appearance, creating a more contoured look. As the most trusted neuromodulator on the market, BOTOX has garnered the confidence of millions since its FDA approval in 2002. Its ability to deliver consistent, reliable results has made it a cornerstone in cosmetic treatments.
BOTOX offers a non-surgical solution for those seeking to enhance their appearance with minimal downtime. The procedure is quick and relatively painless, often completed in just a few minutes. With its proven effectiveness and safety, BOTOX continues to be a preferred choice for individuals aiming to achieve a smoother, more youthful look, making it an essential component of modern aesthetic practices.

Should I Get Treatment for My Fine Lines?
Although treatments for fine lines and wrinkles were once mostly chosen by women, men are taking advantage of the effects of BOTOX in ever-increasing numbers.
All BOTOX injections should be performed by a highly-skilled, specialist injector, who has a thorough knowledge of facial muscular structure, so the results look fresh and natural – not overdone.
BOTOX injections could be for you if:
- You’re an adult with fine lines developing around your eyes, mouth, and forehead
- You feel the fine lines and wrinkles are giving you an older, tired appearance

What is the Difference Between BOTOX, Dysport, and Xeomin?
BOTOX, Dysport, and Xeomin all share similarities, but also have differences that mean one or more of these products can be better for certain areas.
Knowing the differences between the three can give you a better understanding of how the skin professionals at NassifMD® MedSpa can help you achieve the look you envision.
Xeomin
Xeomin is like BOTOX and Dysport in that it is an injectable form of Botulinum Toxin A, and that it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. However, Xeomin doesn’t have preservative protein, which allows it to bind to the muscles immediately, producing a faster result.
Xeomin avoids giving the face a “frozen” appearance, and looks and feels more natural. Additionally, Xeomin does not contain any additives and is only the Botulinum Toxin A, reducing the rare situation in which the body develops antibodies to the product.
Dysport
Dysport and BOTOX are very similar. They are both forms of Botulinum Toxin Type A, FDA approved to reduce muscle movement. The main difference between the two is that Dysport has smaller protein molecules and is a more diluted formulation. Due to these differences, Dysport interacts differently in the body than BOTOX. Dysport, as a more diluted formula, spreads over a larger area. Often used to treat lines and creases in the forehead, the product is effective for facial areas with thinner muscles. One advantage is that fewer injections are needed. While Dysport is the perfect injectable for certain features, it may be less beneficial for smaller areas, such as the crease between the eyebrows or on those unattractive lines radiating from the mouth.
Is BOTOX dangerous?
BOTOX has been on the market since 2002 and is not dangerous. It is used not only in the field of aesthetics but in the medical field – even on children. Although BOTOX is known to be extremely safe, it must be injected correctly. Never fall for a “discount BOTOX” offer or attend a “BOTOX party” – counterfeit BOTOX has been found in the USA, and the substance injected could endanger your health. A medical license is required to perform BOTOX injections. Don’t take chances!
Will my face look frozen after BOTOX injections?
When injected correctly and in the right quantity, the result should appear natural, never frozen. The frozen-faced look is generally due to injecting too much BOTOX or injecting it into the wrong muscle strands. A specialist should perform your BOTOX injections, so the result is smooth, attractive, and natural-looking.
How does BOTOX work to reduce a square or large jaw?
When injected correctly and in the right quantity, the result should appear natural, never frozen. The frozen-faced look is generally due to injecting too much BOTOX or injecting it into the wrong muscle strands. A specialist should perform your BOTOX injections, so the result is smooth, attractive, and natural-looking.
How much do BOTOX injections cost?
BOTOX is sold in units. The number of units needed varies person to person. The critical issue is to ensure your injections are performed correctly – you don’t want to see uneven results or be left with an unnatural look. Avoid Groupon BOTOX offers or discounts. The average cost of BOTOX treatments is $500 to $600 but varies person to person.
