Enhance your appearance and your self-confidence.

Fine lines and wrinkles are early signs of aging that occur, leading to a tired, tense, older appearance. Due to the repetitive motion of certain facial and neck muscle groups, dynamic wrinkles can be addressed with neurotoxins, such as Dysport and BOTOX, which Dr. Moses offers. In the hands of an experienced injector, these products help men and women soften wrinkles and even prevent the development of permanent lines. Additionally, if placed correctly, the brows can be lifted to help open the eyes, giving a well-rested appearance to the face.

Your personal consultation with Dr. Moses

If you are interested in Dysport and BOTOX in Columbia, SC, your first step is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Moses. Dr. Moses will ask questions about your aesthetic goals, inform you of your treatment options, and answer any questions.

Preparing for your treatment

Dr. Moses will recommend the best treatment for your unique needs and goals. As a board-certified and fellowship-trained plastic surgeon, she has all the training and experience to help you achieve beautiful, natural-looking, never-overdone results.

Be sure to inform Dr. Moses of any medication you are currently taking. You should pause certain medications before your BOTOX or Dysport appointment. As alcohol makes you more prone to bruising and redness, you shouldn’t drink for at least 24 hours before your appointment.

Your BOTOX or Dysport procedure

BOTOX and Dysport are simple, quick procedures that can be performed during your lunch break. You will be able to go home right after your treatment. Treatment lasts about 15 minutes, and no anesthetics are needed.

How do BOTOX and Dysport work?

Dynamic wrinkles are caused by repetitive motion of certain muscle groups in the face, for instance:

Frowning
Smiling
Raising your eyebrows

BOTOX and Dysport are neurotoxins that smooth out dynamic wrinkles by causing the underlying muscles to relax.

How long will it take?

A typical BOTOX or Dysport appointment takes about 20 minutes.

Does it hurt?

BOTOX and Dysport are injected using a very fine needle. You may feel a stinging sensation, but any discomfort should be mild. A topical numbing cream may be applied before your injections.

How many injections will I need?

This will depend on the area being treated and your goals. Dr. Moses will create a personalized treatment plan for you and will be able to give you an idea of what to expect.

When will I see the results?

You may start noticing results within 24 hours, but most patients see results after about three days that fully settle in over a two-week period.

How long will my results last?

The results of BOTOX usually last for about four to six months, while Dysport results typically last for three to six months.

BOTOX or Dysport? What’s right for you?

BOTOX and Dysport are both derived from botulinum toxin and work in very similar ways. Dysport is particularly effective in treating glabellar lines, the vertical lines that appear between your eyebrows.

BOTOX treatment areas include the forehead (to smooth horizontal lines), the glabella or frown lines between the eyebrows, and the crow's feet around the eyes, etc.

Dr. Moses will recommend the best treatment for your individual needs.
