BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport are injectables that uses botulinum toxin type A (OnabotulinumtoxinA) to temporarily reduce or eliminate facial fine lines and wrinkles. The FDA has approved the use of Botox® for frown lines and crow's feet, while Dysport® is approved for frown lines. It is the most widely researched and studied treatment.

At CosmeticsMD, we commonly use Botox and Dysport to treat:

• Frown lines (aka “11s” / glabellar lines)

• Forehead creases

• Crow's feet near the eyes

• Gummy smiles

• Facial asymmetries

• Lip flips (with or without dermal filler)

• Face slimming

• Dimpled chins

• Symptoms and swelling due to TMJ

Botox is FDA approved for women and men 18 years and older. We recommend starting treatments in your late 20s and early 30s.

We can often schedule clients within a few days of requesting an appointment, and can treat them on the same day. Book online or call us at 978-871-2181 to see if a Botox appointment is available with one of our top Botox providers at our Peabody office. We try our best to accommodate our client’s busy schedules.

The total cost of a Botox or Dysport is based on the number of units injected. Treatment varies by client and depends on your facial anatomy and desired result. Our experienced injectors will consult with you prior to your treatment to recommend the proper dose to help you achieve your goals. We specialize in providing our clients with a natural look (your face won't look frozen!)

The enjoy savings at every visit, we recommend signing up for one of our membership programs as well as reregistering for Alle (Botox) or Aspire (Dysport) to earn points on your treatments.

Botox and Dysport are made of a purified protein that works by preventing your facial muscles from contracting by temporarily blocking the nerve signals. Because the muscles are relaxed, wrinkles are reduced.

YES! To improve and extend your results, we recommend combining BOTOX with other cosmetic skin procedures including chemical peels, IPL, dermal fillers, SkinPen microneedling, HydraFacials, and DiamondGlows.

You can even have BOTOX added to an Aquagold facial to tighten pores and improve the appearance of reds in the skin [link to internal pages]. We also love to pair it with SkinMedica’s TNS Advanced+ serum, and/or a vitamin C and E serum, and a retinol and medical-grade SPF to use at home.

Be very careful of ads for “cheap” BOTOX, “faux-tox” – they are not as effective at best, and at worst can be very dangerous, causing paralysis, botulism poisoning, facial drooping, and infection.

Initial consultation take about 45 minutes with one of our certified cosmetics injectors and treatment can be administered on the same day. Clients usually are able to return to work immediately.

First results can appear in as little as 2 days, and typically last from 90-120 days. Because Botox treatments last between 2 to 4 months, we recommend patients be treated every 3 months to maintain their results and investment in their refreshed appearance.
