How the products are selected
Botox® Cosmetic and Dysport® are prescription neurotoxin products used by trained clinicians. Both are evaluated in the context of the muscles being treated.
An injector considers movement patterns, treatment history and timing when discussing options.
What the appointment includes
A consultation covers the intended areas, dosing approach and possible side effects. Product selection is individualized rather than automatic.
Follow-up timing is discussed before treatment. No cosmetic outcome can be guaranteed.
