What the Procedure Entails
A procedure involving Botox, Dysport, and injectable fillers involves very little pain with proper injection technique. Dr. Wise uses a customized topical anesthetic, which allows minimal discomfort. In addition, Dr. Wise utilizes DermaSculpt® Microcannula, a technology that has revolutionized the way fillers are administered.
This “no needles” approach minimizes pain and bruising for the patient. For Botox and Dysport, the results may be seen anywhere from 24 hours to two weeks after treatment. However, the effects of injectable fillers are seen immediately, so the process can be stopped when you are happy with the result.
Since the effects of Botox, Dysport, and injectable fillers are temporary, patients may eventually want to consider surgical procedures that can have a longer effect on wrinkle reduction and soft tissue enhancement. Surgical lifting of soft tissue (through face and neck lifting and brow lifting) is often the best way to restore a more youthful position of the face, as injectable fillers are not capable of lifting tissue.
