About the Treatment
What Is Botox?
Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved neuromodulators made from botulinum toxin type A. They work by temporarily relaxing the facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles — the lines that form when you squint, frown, or raise your eyebrows.
When injected in precise, small doses by a skilled provider, these treatments smooth existing wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming. The result is a naturally refreshed appearance — you look like you, just well-rested.

What to Expect
Consultation
We assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and design a customized treatment map. We'll determine the ideal number of units and injection sites.
Preparation
The treatment area is cleansed. Ice or topical numbing may be applied for comfort, though most patients find the procedure very tolerable.
Treatment
Using an ultra-fine needle, your provider precisely injects small amounts of Botox or Dysport into targeted muscles. The entire process takes 10–15 minutes.
Aftercare
You can return to normal activities immediately. Avoid lying down for 4 hours and skip strenuous exercise for 24 hours. Results appear within 3–5 days.
Timeline
Results & Recovery
Tiny bumps at injection sites resolve within 30 minutes. Mild redness may occur. You can resume all normal activities and apply makeup.
You'll start to notice the muscles relaxing. Lines appear softer. This is when most patients first see results.
Full effect is achieved. This is when we schedule your follow-up assessment to ensure optimal results and make any adjustments.
The effect gradually wears off as nerve signals regenerate. Time to schedule your next appointment to maintain your results.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
Most patients describe it as a tiny pinch. The needles used are extremely fine — thinner than a human hair. Many patients don't require any numbing, though we always offer it for comfort.
Not at Lumière. Dr. Laurent's 'less is more' philosophy means we use precise dosing to smooth lines while preserving natural facial movement. You'll look refreshed, not rigid.
Both are botulinum toxin type A neuromodulators and work the same way. Dysport has slightly smaller molecules and may spread more, making it ideal for larger areas like the forehead. Some patients respond better to one than the other — we'll help you decide.
Typically every 3–4 months. With consistent treatment, many patients find they can gradually extend the interval as the muscles adapt. Some long-term patients only need treatment twice a year.
Absolutely — in fact, we often recommend it. Botox addresses dynamic wrinkles (caused by muscle movement), while fillers address volume loss and static lines. Together, they provide comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
