Botox® and Dysport®
RBS Wellness Spa provides Botox® and Dysport® in Redlands, California, to help patients reduce or eliminate facial expression lines and achieve a refreshed appearance. Our skilled injectors deliver these popular anti-aging treatments with precision and artistry, ensuring natural-looking outcomes that enhance your inherent beauty without compromising facial movement.
What Are Botox® and Dysport®?
Botox® and Dysport® are both derived from botulinum toxin type A, a neuromodulator that temporarily stops muscle contractions. When injected into specific facial muscles, these neuromodulators interrupt the nerve impulses that cause repetitive movements, allowing the overlying skin to appear smoother and less creased.
These treatments excel at addressing dynamic lines that develop from years of smiling, frowning, and squinting. Common areas treated include forehead lines, elevens (frown lines), and crow’s feet.
What’s the Difference Between Botox® and Dysport®?
Botox® and Dysport® have similar applications, but different molecular structures and spreading patterns. Dysport® tends to diffuse more widely after injection, making it particularly effective for treating larger areas like the forehead. Botox® offers more precise, concentrated targeting of specific muscle groups.
Both products typically last 3-4 months. However, some patients may notice Dysport® results appear slightly faster, usually within 2-5 days, compared to Botox®’s 3-7 days.
Good Candidates for Botox® and Dysport®
Ideal candidates for these neuromodulator treatments are adults who notice visible lines when making facial expressions and seek a minimally invasive approach to facial rejuvenation. Patients should also be in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and understand that results are temporary and require periodic maintenance sessions.
The Procedure
After the skin is cleansed with an antiseptic solution, ultra-fine needles are used to deliver precise amounts of Botox® or Dysport® into the targeted muscles. Each injection takes only seconds, and the entire procedure rarely exceeds 30 minutes.
Most patients describe the sensation as similar to a small pinprick with minimal discomfort. Following the injections, gentle pressure may be applied to the treatment sites.
The Neuromodulator Recovery Process
Post-treatment recovery is remarkably straightforward, allowing patients to resume most daily activities without delay. Minor injection site reactions — such as slight redness or tenderness — may occur but typically fade within a few hours.
During the initial recovery phase, avoid rubbing the treated areas and maintain an upright position when resting to ensure proper product placement. Physical exercise should be postponed for one day.

Botox® and Dysport® FAQs
Will my face appear frozen after these treatments?
When administered by our highly trained injectors, Botox® and Dysport® should not create a frozen appearance, but rather provide natural-looking results that preserve your ability to make facial expressions. The key is using appropriate dosages and proper injection techniques.
How long before a special event should I schedule my appointment?
Plan your treatment at least 2-3 weeks before important events to allow time for full results to develop and any minor side effects to resolve. Please let us know during scheduling if you have something coming up so we can plan your next appointment accordingly.
