What Is Botox or Dysport?
Botox® and Dysport® are minimally invasive neuromodulator injectable treatments that effectively diminish the signs of aging, creating a smoother, refreshed, and more youthful-looking face. These injectables interrupt nerve signals to relax the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles.
Dynamic facial wrinkles are one of the earliest signs of aging. They result from natural contractions during facial movements and expressions. Eventually, the wrinkles become more prominent and noticeable even without movement. As dynamic wrinkles are formed by repetitive facial expressions rather than aging, they can impact even younger adults. Botox® and Dysport® can help address dynamic wrinkles to relax those muscles before static wrinkles deepen.
With no downtime and minimal discomfort, Botox® and Dysport® deliver temporary facial rejuvenation, restoring a refreshed and youthful-looking appearance for patients experiencing moderate to severe wrinkles. Typically, Botox® and Dysport® treatments take 15 to 30 minutes and start relaxing the muscles for visible results in two to four days with full medical spa results within two weeks.
Both Dysport® and Botox® help create a smoother, more youthful-looking facial aesthetic by reducing the appearance of:
- Eye area—crow’s feet
- Glabellar lines—frown lines, or the 11s
- Forehead lines
- Neck bands
- Lip area wrinkles
- Cheek fullness
- Shoulder hump
What is Botox Lip Flip?
The Botox® Lip Flip uses injectable neuromodulators to create a popular, natural-looking lip enhancement. Botox® is injected into the upper lips and corners of the mouth to relax the muscles. This treatment allows the lips to curl outward for a plumper lip without additional volume, creating a more defined shape for 3 to 6 months.

Botox for Platysmal Bands
Patients often choose Botox to improve the appearance of the platysma muscles in the neck, which are the vertical cords that become more visible as you age. The platysma muscle, which functions include facial expressions, jaw depression, neck tensing, and vein protection, can be relaxed by carefully placed Botox injections. Platysma Botox injections lift the face, improve jawline definition, reduce the appearance of platysma neck bands, and make the patient appear younger. Just like other cosmetic uses for Botox, this procedure is FDA-approved, quick, and requires minimal downtime.

How to Prepare for your Botox Procedure
It’s important to be in good overall health whether you have chosen a surgical or non-surgical treatment. Dr. Brys tailors all neuromodulator procedures to achieve optimal Botox results. While all procedures will be unique, here are some common steps to expect.
Schedule Your Consultation
Not all injectors have equal experience. It’s important to select an experienced, board-certified, and well-regarded provider. Schedule consultations with a few providers to ensure you find the best fit for your unique needs. During your consultations, request to see before and after photos and read patient reviews.
Ask About Your Medications
During your consultation, Dr. Brys will instruct you on how to proceed with your current medications, including blood-thinning medications, anti-inflammatory drugs, or herbal supplements that may cause bleeding. You may need to avoid these medications for 3 to 6 days before your procedure.
Quit Smoking/Vaping
Smoking can negatively impact your body’s ability to heal following non-surgical treatments, including impacting your results. If you currently smoke, vape, or use nicotine products, you should quit. For at least 48 hours before your injectable treatments and until recovery is complete, avoid all nicotine products.
Stay Hydrated
Remain well-hydrated before and after your procedure, and avoid alcohol or caffeine as they can cause bleeding or bruising.
Clean Skin
Come to your appointment with clean, moisturized skin.
What to Expect During your Botox Treatment
Before your Botox® or Dysport® treatment, you will meet with Dr. Brys to review the details of your procedure and answer any questions you may have.
Injectable neuromodulator treatments are generally quick with minimal discomfort. With Dr. Brys’s experience and precision, each treatment is based on your anatomy and unique needs to ensure you will receive natural-looking non-surgical results with the least amount of neuromodulator.
Depending on the number of treatment areas, the procedure may take 15 to 45 minutes.
What is Recovery from Botox Like?
Injectable neuromodulator procedures require minimal downtime. Patients can typically resume most normal activities immediately after treatment. Expect side effects like redness, mild bruising, or swelling at the treatment site. These effects should subside within a few days.
To ensure you achieve optimal results from your Botox® or Dysport® treatment, Dr. Brys recommends:
One to two weeks treatment:
- Do not massage the treated area for six to twelve hours.
- Avoid sun and heat exposure for at least 24 hours.
- Wait at least 24 to 48 hours to resume exercise, alcohol consumption, or other strenuous activities that can cause flushing or sweating.
How Soon Will I See Results from Botox?
Each person will experience unique results from Botox® and Dysport®. Many factors can impact the longevity of your results, including your response, the area treated, health, and age.
Following Botox® or Dysport® injections, you should begin noticing visible improvements to the appearance of your lines in 2 to 4 days. Your results will continue to improve for about a month as the underlying muscles relax, revealing smoother, more refreshed skin. Typically, neuromodulator results last 3 to 6 months.

Masseter Botox for Jawline Slimming and Comfort
Masseter Botox is a specialized use of neuromodulators like Botox and Dysport to gently relax the large chewing muscles along the jawline, creating a slimmer, more refined lower face while easing symptoms related to jaw tension and teeth grinding. This treatment fits effortlessly within Dr. Brys’s approach to precise, anatomy-driven facial rejuvenation, supplying both cosmetic and restorative benefits with minimal downtime.
The masseter muscles sit at the angle of the jaw and help you clench and grind your teeth. Over time, they can become enlarged, making the lower face appear wider or more square. By placing small amounts of Botox or Dysport into these muscles, Dr. Brys can soften their activity, gently slim the jawline and reduce clenching without affecting your ability to chew soft foods or speak normally.
Cosmetic and Operational Benefits
Many patients choose masseter Botox to achieve a more tapered, V-shaped lower face, especially when fullness at the jaw overpowers their cheekbones or other features. At the same time, relaxing the masseter can lessen jaw tension, teeth grinding, and related headaches, offering welcome relief for patients who clench—particularly at night.
What to Expect from Treatment
A masseter Botox session is quick, usually taking just a few minutes during your overall neuromodulator visit. You may feel a brief pinch and mild pressure with each injection, but most patients find the treatment very tolerable and return to normal daily activities right away. Visible slimming along the jawline gradually appears over several weeks as the muscle softens and often continues to refine over 2 to 3 months, with results generally lasting several months before a touch-up is needed.
Is Masseter Botox Right for You?
Ideal candidates are bothered by a square or heavy jawline, jaw clenching, or teeth grinding and want a non-surgical option with subtle, natural-looking results. During your consultation, Dr. Brys will evaluate your bite, facial proportions, and overall goals to decide whether Botox or Dysport to the masseter muscle, alone or combined with other treatments, is the safest and most effective option for you.
Can Botox | Dysport Be Paired with Other Procedures?
It’s common to pair Botox® or Dysport® with other procedures to achieve optimal facial rejuvenation. Dermal fillers are often paired with Botox® treatments as a cost-effective partner. Dr. Brys will advise whether Botox® or Dysport® will enhance your results based on your procedure, overall health, and age.
Botox® or Dysport® can help enhance the results of many facial rejuvenation treatments, including:

Morristown and Parsippany, NJ Botox | Dysport FAQs
What Should I Do Right After Botox Injections?
Immediately after getting Botox injections, it’s best to stay upright for 2 to 4 hours. You should also refrain from rubbing or massaging the treated area, exercising, heavy lifting, or vigorous workouts for the first day. Driving and other low-impact activities are, in general, fine to do.
How Long Do Botox Injections Last?
In general, Botox injection results last 3 to 4 months. However, the effects of Botox can range from 2 to 6 months and largely depend on factors like metabolism, the area treated, dosage, muscle activity, and lifestyle.
Is Platysma Botox Safe?
Yes. Just like Botox in other areas, platysma band injections are safe, especially when administered by a highly experienced injector. Dr. Brys is a board-certified facial plastic surgeon with a wealth of knowledge and experience in facial anatomy and non-surgical procedures.
Is There Downtime After Botox?
One of the best aspects of Botox is that there is little to no downtime. You’ll be able to get back to most normal activities right away, although you will need to avoid strenuous exercise and pressure to your face, including lying on your face, for several hours. Other than this, you’ll be cleared to return to your normal life.
When Is the Best Age to Start Botox?
There isn’t one particular age at which patients begin to get Botox injections. Some use it preventatively in their late 20s or 30s, whereas others in their 40s and 50s use Botox to treat more dramatic lines. You should begin treatment based on your personal preferences and the formation of lines related to muscle activity.
Does Botox Prevent Wrinkles?
Yes. Because Botox prevents muscles from making repeated movements, it can prevent wrinkles from getting worse and improve the appearance of existing lines. Patients often use it as a preventative measure so that their wrinkles do not worsen over time.
How Much Botox Will I Need?
The specific amount of Botox that you will need depends on a variety of factors, such as your facial anatomy, treatment goals, muscle strength, and your provider’s recommendations. The typical dose range is 26-36 units. Dr. Brys will speak with you about what you want to accomplish, and the dosage she recommends will be based on your response and her expertise in achieving the best results with the least amount of Botox.
