Botox/Dysport
Botox in Chattanooga, Tennessee
Botox, also referred to as botulinum toxin, is an injectable treatment which effectively treats wrinkles and fine lines. The neuromodulator reduces the appearance of deep facial furrows, like frown lines between the eyebrows and crow's feet, by temporarily reducing the underlying muscle activity responsible for such lines.
While Botox is most known for treating "11" lines and crow's feet, there are also many off-label uses of this "wonder" substance such as: neck cord treatment, jaw line slimming, chin dimple smoothing, nostril refinement, and lip enhancement (lip flip).
How long does Botox last?
While patients may begin to notice visible improvements within 24-48 hours following their Botox injection, full results will take up to 2-3 weeks . While every patient is different, results from this neuromodulator typically last up to 4 months.
Dysport Injections-
Like Botox, Dysport is also an injectable neuromodulator effectively used for wrinkles and fine lines. Although many patients cannot tell the difference between the two toxins, anecdotal evidence suggests that while Dysport may take slightly longer to produce visible results immediately following injections, overall, it has been reported to last longer than Botox. Ultimately, one's preference of Botox vs. Dysport depends on the unique individual.
For anyone exhibiting lackluster results from Botox, we suggest giving Dysport a try. In fact, alternating between the two toxins may actually help prevent an occurrence known as Botox resistance. This is why we offer a wide variety of neuromodulator treatment options in our Chattanooga offices.

Botox and Neuromodulator FAQs
Is Botox the same as Dysport, Xeomin, or Daxxify?
Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, Jeuveau, and Daxxify are all neuromodulators that work by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles to soften wrinkles caused by repetitive movement. While they function similarly, each product has slight differences in formulation, diffusion characteristics, and longevity. Many patients achieve comparable cosmetic results across brands, but individual response can vary, which is why offering multiple neuromodulator options allows for more personalized treatment planning.
How do I know which neuromodulator is best for me?
The best neuromodulator depends on factors such as facial anatomy, muscle strength, previous neuromodulator use, and desired outcome. Some patients prefer a specific product based on how it feels or how long results last for them, while others benefit from switching or alternating products over time. Booking a complimentary consultation with one of our board certified injectors is the most reliable way to determine which neuromodulator will deliver the most natural-looking results for your face.
Can Botox stop working over time?
In some cases, patients may notice reduced effectiveness from a specific neuromodulator after repeated use, a phenomenon sometimes referred to as neuromodulator resistance. While this is uncommon, it can occur in certain individuals. When this happens, providers may recommend switching to or alternating with a different FDA-approved neuromodulator. This is one reason Flawless Aesthetics offers a wide range of neuromodulator options, allowing treatment plans to be adjusted as needed to help maintain consistent results over time.
Will neuromodulators make my face look frozen?
When properly dosed and strategically placed, neuromodulators should soften wrinkles without eliminating natural facial expression. Treatment planning focuses on balance and facial harmony rather than overcorrection. The goal is a refreshed appearance—not a stiff or frozen look. Neuromodulator treatments at Flawless Aesthetics are performed by licensed medical providers within a privately owned, medically directed practice.
