Botox and Dysport in Newton, MA
Botox® and Dysport®
What Are Botox® and Dysport®?
At Longevity Lab & Aesthetics, we think about muscle relaxers the same way we think about every treatment we offer: as a way to support how you feel in your body, not just how you look. Botox® and Dysport® are not about erasing who you are. They are about giving your face a little breathing room so it can settle into a more rested, relaxed version of itself.
Both are injectable treatments that work by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for repetitive movements, like squinting, furrowing, or tensing. Over time, those movements leave marks. These treatments help slow that process in a way that looks natural and feels like you.

Treatment Areas
Both Botox® and Dysport® are well-suited for areas where repeated muscle movement has started to leave a lasting impression.
Forehead Lines
Horizontal lines that appear when you raise your brows can soften significantly with treatment, without freezing your expression.
Frown Lines
The lines between the brows, sometimes called the elevens, are one of the most common areas treated. Relaxing this area can make the whole face look less tense.
Crow's Feet
The fine lines that fan out from the corners of the eyes when you smile or squint respond well to both Botox® and Dysport®.
Brow Area
A small amount of product placed strategically around the brow can create a subtle lift without surgery.
Lip Lines
Fine vertical lines around the mouth that deepen over time can be softened with careful, minimal treatment.
Neck Bands
Visible vertical bands along the neck, sometimes called platysmal bands, can be relaxed to create a smoother, more elongated appearance.
Why It Works
Botox® and Dysport® are two of the most studied injectables available. When placed well and in the right amounts, the results are subtle enough that people notice something looks different without knowing exactly what changed.
Relaxes without freezing
The goal is a natural range of expression, not a blank face.
Quick and low commitment
Most appointments take under 30 minutes with no downtime required.
Gradual onset
Results settle in over several days, so the change never looks sudden.
Preventive as well as corrective
Regular treatment can slow the deepening of lines over time.
Fits a wellness routine
Many people treat this the same way they would a regular wellness appointment, something they do for themselves on a consistent basis.
Is This Right for You?
Botox® and Dysport® work well for a wide range of people. You may be a good fit if:
You have lines or creases that appear even when your face is at rest
You want to look more refreshed without looking different
You are interested in a preventive approach before lines become deeper
You prefer minimal downtime and a straightforward appointment
You are in good general health and not pregnant or nursing
What To Expect
Results from Botox® and Dysport® are not immediate, and that is actually part of what makes them look natural.
Most people start to notice softening within three to five days. Full results are usually visible by the two-week mark. The treated muscles gradually relax, and the skin above them smooths out as a result.
Results typically last three to four months, though this varies from person to person. With consistent treatment over time, some people find that results last a little longer as the muscles become less active.

Before Your Appointment
Please abstain from alcohol and any blood-thinning medications, including aspirin or ibuprofen, for 24 to 48 hours leading up to your visit. Show up with a bare, freshly washed face and no makeup on.
After Your Appointment
Stay upright for at least four hours after treatment. Please refrain from touching or pressing on the treated areas for the remainder of the day. Skip intense exercise for 24 hours. Some mild redness or small bumps at the injection sites are normal and typically fade within a few hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Botox® and Dysport®?
Both work the same way and treat the same areas. Dysport® tends to spread a little more, which can be an advantage in larger areas like the forehead. Your provider will recommend the one that suits your anatomy and goals best.
Will I still be able to make expressions?
Yes. The goal is never to eliminate movement, only to soften it. A good Dysport® and Botox® treatment leaves your face looking like you, just more rested.
How long before I see results?
Most people notice changes within three to five days. Full results are visible around the two-week mark.
How often will I need treatment?
Most people come in every three to four months to maintain their results. Over time, some find they can go a little longer between appointments.
Is it safe to do this regularly?
Yes. Both Botox® and Dysport® have long safety records and are among the most researched injectables available. Regular treatment is common and considered safe for most healthy adults.
Do you offer virtual consultations?
Yes. We are licensed in both Massachusetts and Florida and offer telehealth consultations for anyone who prefers to connect remotely before coming in.
