Botox and Dysport are both injectable treatments that are used to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. Both treatments work by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.

There are some differences between the two treatments, however. Botox is made from a purified form of the botulinum toxin type A, while Dysport is made from a purified form of botulinum toxin type A complex. Both substances work in similar ways to relax the muscles, but some people may find that one works better for them than the other. We find in our practice that Dysport results tend to appear sooner than Botox (in the 2-3 day range) and last longer overall (3-4 month range). 

Dysport may also spread to a wider area than Botox, which could make it more effective for treating wrinkles that are spread out over a larger area. However, this may also make Dysport more likely to cause side effects, such as drooping eyelids or eyebrows although we have not seen that regularly in our practice. 

I have been nothing short of satisfied from all my beauty services at the Plastics Doc Office. Dr. Salcedo is not only professional, but very personable during any procedure you choose to decide on! His energy and medical advice gives you no other choice to trust his expertise with such confidence! I am highly satisfied with all my services at this med spa. The ladies in the front, as well as Kristine handle each client with such decorum and high quality professionalism exhibited in their high level customer service! Nurse Claire is also very professional and amazing in her work! Overall, this is the best med spa EVER!

The staff and doctor are simply awesome. Claire did my peel and she explained step by step what she was doing, which helped understand the entire process. She is very knowledgeable and super nice. Made me feel very welcomed!

I had a perfect dermapeel which is a chemical peel done and within 2 days I saw immediate results! I had a really bad scar on my chin and instantly it peeled off! Nurse Claire was so amazing at explaining the whole process from before to the post care! I highly recommend this treatment but most importantly this office! The whole staff was welcoming and kind and very thorough! It was a great experience!

Just got micro needling done by the amazing Nurse Claire! She was very informative and answered all my questions. She was kind enough to make a treatment plan for my face and acne scars! Truly recommend!!

I’ve had an amazing experience with Dr. Salsedo! I was recommended to him by a friend — and everything she said about him is true. He is friendly yet professional, his staff is incredibly warm and welcoming, and I am SO happy with the results. I felt like we communicated well from day one so the expectations and results lined up perfectly. I had liposuction (chin, jawline) procedure done in-clinic. No pain, no anxiety, and we did the CO2 treatment immediately after the procedure… so there was almost ZERO bruising. No issues with the recovery. Good communication after the procedure. Overall, I am SO happy with the results and can’t speak more highly of Dr. Salsedo and The Plastics Doc family.
