BOTOX® Cosmetic & Dysport®
Perhaps for some, those furrows and lines on the face are a welcome symbol of experience and wisdom. But for most, they’re just wrinkles and signs of aging. Dr. Josh Olson and Dr. Jacob Marks of Advanced Plastic Surgery Institute use Dysport and BOTOX Cosmetic to help women and men maintain the look of youth. You’ll still have the experience and wisdom — just without the wrinkles.

Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
What does BOTOX treat?
The repeated muscle movements of the face produce lines and deep wrinkles around the eyes and between the eyebrows. You can smooth away those lines with non-surgical BOTOX Cosmetic or Dysport. These popular med spa treatments can offer our Gilbert patients the following advantages:
- Smooth out vertical frown lines between the eyebrows
- Reduce or eliminate crow’s feet around the outer corners of the eyes
- Achieve long-term wrinkle reduction with multiple treatments
- Prolong the results of a brow lift or eyelid surgery
- Restore youthfulness and boost confidence
In many cases, these treatments can effectively delay or eliminate the need for more invasive procedures, or they can serve as a complement to a procedure such as a facelift.
“… I felt comfortable after meeting Dr. Olson and was so appreciative to hear that he errs on the conservative side and can always add more botox if I needed it. He was very precise and I would recommend him to any of my friends!”

How do BOTOX and Dysport work?
BOTOX and Dysport are in a class of products called neuromodulators. They do not treat wrinkles by filling them in from within the skin like dermal fillers. Rather, neuromodulators temporarily disrupt contractions of facial muscles so that the overlying skin is no longer squeezed into lines and wrinkles. When the muscle contractions stop, the skin is able to gradually smooth out.
Which should you choose: BOTOX vs. Dysport?
Although similar, BOTOX and Dysport may produce slightly different results for each individual. Dr. Olson or Dr. Marks will evaluate your aesthetic needs and history to determine how to best use each product to your benefit.
What’s a liquid facelift?
Because neuromodulators and dermal fillers treat different kinds of wrinkles, they can be used together to provide a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation (see above illustration). This popular combination is called a liquid facelift.
“Been to this office 4 times after disappointment with another office. Not a single complaint! It’s spotless, professional & everyone is super friendly! Dr. Olson takes time to explain all facets of the procedure & answers all my questions. He’s patient & has a great eye! I’ve had fillers & botox… He’s a true artist… I look better & feel better.”

What’s a BOTOX lip flip and is it right for you?
BOTOX can be used to make the upper lip appear fuller. This treatment, often called a BOTOX lip flip, involves injecting a small amount of BOTOX into the muscles of the upper lip. Once the muscles have relaxed over the next few days, the upper lip rolls (flips) outward, exposing more of the red vermillion.
The lip flip can be an alternative to lip fillers or done together with fillers for enhanced results. It may be ideal for you if you’re seeking increased upper lip height rather than dramatic volume.
What’s a nonsurgical brow lift?
A nonsurgical brow lift uses BOTOX to temporarily elevate the eyebrows by relaxing the muscles that pull them downward. This treatment creates a more lifted and refreshed appearance without the need for brow lift surgery. It’s an excellent alternative for those with mild sagging or who want to enhance their brow shape and improve the appearance of hooded eyes. When artfully applied to the brow, BOTOX smoothes forehead wrinkles and raises the brows for a subtle, youthful look.
What are BOTOX & Dysport treatments like?
At our Gilbert practice, BOTOX and Dysport treatments are performed in the office during a short procedure. You’ll start by discussing your goals in-depth to determine the best product and treatment plan for you. Ice packs or a topical anesthetic may be applied to the treatment area to reduce discomfort. Ice may also diminish post-treatment bruising.
Dr. Olson, Dr. Marks, or a member of their masterful injection team inserts a tiny needle into specific areas and injects precise amounts of the product. Many patients say this feels like a pinch or an insect bite. Over the course of the next few days, the active ingredients temporarily relax the muscles responsible for the wrinkles.

Meet Dr. Olson Meet Dr. MarksWhen will I see results?
Experiences vary after treatment. After a few days, you will likely begin to notice improvement. Dysport may take effect a day or so earlier than BOTOX. Full results are usually attained after 2 weeks. Your injector may recommend you return for a follow-up assessment and touch-up treatments to ensure you achieve the best possible results.
Should I be worried about looking frozen?
When BOTOX and Dysport are administered by a well-trained, experienced professional, you can expect to look refreshed and relaxed, not frozen. While the muscles responsible for your wrinkles will be relaxed, the rest of your facial muscles will remain functional and be able to naturally convey your personality and emotions.
How long do results last?
Improvements from BOTOX and Dysport treatments last about 3 to 4 months, although patient experiences vary. Those who have had multiple treatments sometimes enjoy longer results because treated muscles become weaker and smaller (atrophy) in the same way other muscles do when they are not used. To retain your improvements, we recommend returning for touch-up treatments at the first sign of your wrinkles returning.
Combining BOTOX with other treatments
BOTOX can be combined with other nonsurgical treatments to achieve more comprehensive rejuvenation. Pairing BOTOX with dermal fillers addresses volume loss in areas like the cheeks and lips, while HALO® laser treatments improve skin texture and tone. If you’re looking to target dynamic wrinkles and skin laxity, combining BOTOX with Renuvion® skin tightening offers a complete facial refresh. Regular BOTOX treatments also help you preserve the results of a facial plastic surgery procedure such as a brow lift or blepharoplasty.
BOTOX FAQs
Is BOTOX painful?
BOTOX injections are typically well-tolerated, with minimal discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch.
Is there anything I should avoid following my appointment?
After BOTOX, avoid lying down, vigorous exercise, and touching or rubbing the injection area for 4 to 6 hours to prevent product migration.
Does BOTOX really prevent the formation of new wrinkles?
Yes, BOTOX helps prevent dynamic wrinkles by limiting muscle movement, which slows the formation of new lines and wrinkles.
Can I use BOTOX after my facial surgery to help prolong the results?
Yes, many patients use BOTOX after facial plastic surgery to maintain smoother skin and enhance and prolong their surgical outcomes.
I want facelift surgery but I’m not quite ready. Is a liquid facelift worth it?
A liquid facelift with BOTOX and fillers can provide a temporary, nonsurgical lift and rejuvenation, ideal for those not quite ready for invasive surgery or lengthy downtime. We’ll help you determine if you can benefit from a liquid facelift or if your aging symptoms warrant a surgical facelift.
What is BOTOX masseter reduction?
BOTOX masseter reduction is a jawline contouring method that involves injecting BOTOX into the jaw muscles to slim the lower face and reduce jaw tension.
