Wrinkle Relaxers:
Botox & Dysport

Fast Facts on
Botox & Dysport

  • Botox is a medical product named after its main ingredient: Botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin – the thing that makes Botox, Botox – works by preventing muscle contraction. If the muscle can’t move, the skin won’t wrinkle,

  • Botox was FDA approved for the treatment of wrinkles in 2002, with Dysport closely following in 2009. (Dysport is also botulinum toxin, it’s just a different brand. Because #capitalism).

    • Botox vs. Dysport: Which one should you get? Our providers will let you know, but there’s very little difference between the two!

  • We dose Botox/Dysport by “units”. We price treatments by units as well – not by flat rates per treatment area, bundles, etc.

  • Speaking of units: clinical dosage for the 3 most common areas (crows feet, glabellar/”11 lines”, and the forehead) is 64 units. Every face is different and you might not need all 64 depending on your goals… but don’t expect 16 units to treat your whole face.

  • Botox/Dysport takes 2 weeks to fully “kick in” and lasts 3-4 months based off of your body metabolism. Sometimes one side/section might wear off faster than the other.

  • The more consistent you are in getting Botox/Dysport, the less you have to get and the less you have to come. Over time, your muscles weaken enough that they don’t require as much.

  • If you get it once and never get it again, don’t worry, your wrinkles won’t come back worse or anything. You just go back to your natural, pre-Botox self.

  • If you have deep or static wrinkles (aka “wrinkles at rest”), it will take time and multiple treatments to lessen those lines. Be patient. Trust your provider.

  • While there’s no real downtime (although we suggest not working out/strenuous activities for 2 days post-injection), you do often leave your appointment with little bee-sting bumps. They go away quickly though, so your boss won’t know where you ran off to on your lunch break.

  • As with anything that involves a needle, there is a chance of bruising. Our injectors are highly trained and use suuuper tiny needles, but it can happen.

What can Botox and Dysport Treat?

  • FACE WRINKLES

    Target and smooth out wrinkles that overstay their welcome. Angry creases, expressive excitement lines, or even those deep wrinkles that appear while at rest.

    Most commonly used for softening (or straight up freezing) wrinkles around the eyes, forehead, in between brows (aka “11 lines”), chin, and even nose.

  • BOTOX FOR TMJ (MASSETER BOTOX)

    Got TMJ from clenching your teeth at work because Brad won’t shut up (or just, like, grinding your teeth when you sleep)? You’re in luck!

    Botox relieves TMJ symptoms by relaxing those overly strong muscles. It can help to get rid of jaw pain and tension headaches. You and your dentist can thank us later.

  • NEFERTITI NECK LIFT

    Named after the ancient Egyptian queen who was known around the world for her long, beautiful neck, the “Nefertiti Neck Lift” is a trendy name for gently relaxing strong neck muscles, in turn tightening the skin and stopping the pull down of the jowl area.

    This service will help make you feel less like Hulk Hogan when he reaches Hulkamania.

  • BOTOX FOR SWEATING

    *Insert Eminem lyrics about sweaty palms and somethingsomething mom’s spaghetti.*

    Extra sweaty palms or underarms can be uncomfortable and embarrassing. Luckily it’s more normal than you think, AND there are treatments to help. Enter: Botox for Sweating!

  • LIP FLIPS

    Gummy smile?
    A little Botox in the upper lip can relax a smile and make your lip appear fuller.


    Interested in lip filler but want to start with something less “scary”?
    Lip Flips are an easy alternative or stepping stone!

Botox & Dysport Appointments at Tinytox Collab

  • Treatment is very quick! Your provider will go over your medical history, goals, expected cost, and provide education. They will determine accurate dosing based on your info and can discuss future treatment plans. Then we stick some tiny needles in your face!

    Our goal is to focus on natural looking results. Your skin will never look “plastic”… you’ll just look refreshed and relaxed.

  • * PLEASE arrive 5 minutes prior to your appointment to check in. If you’re new to our office we will have you fill out consent and health forms prior to your service. If you’ve been with us a while, we may ask you to update forms.


    * Wear minimal to no makeup if possible.

    * Eat and drink prior to your appointment.

    * Sustain from smoking at least a couple hours prior to injection.

    * Do not consume alcohol or take ibuprofen 2 days prior to appointment, as this increases bruising.

    *Let us know about important upcoming events in your life so we can decide if it’s the right time to inject.


    * If you’re someone who workouts regularly, please do so before your appointment and plan ahead, as you can not workout for 2 days after injections.

    * Please wait 2 weeks after you’ve had any laser treatment to the face before getting injections. Allow yourself to fully heal!

    You must notify us prior to your appointment if any of the following apply to you:

    * You are on blood thinners or muscle relaxers.

    * You have had any type of eye surgery or facial surgery in the recent past (you must be cleared by your doctor prior to being injected).
    * You have a history of passing out around needles or getting injections. Yes seriously.
    * You are not eligible for botox if you have: Myasthenia Gravis, Hepatitis, Eaton Lambert Disorder, Muscle weakness, eye disease, ALS.

  • * After injections, you will have little bee-sting bumps. These are normal and will go down in 15ish minutes.

    * Keep moving your face and expressing as much as possible for a couple days. It sounds counterintuitive, we know. It helps product to settle and bumps to dissipate.

    * Do not rub or massage the area.

    * Do not lie down for 3 hours post injection. If you must lay down, prop yourself up on pillows.

    * No hot tubs, saunas, tanning, or sun bathing for 24-48 hours.

    * No exercise for 24-48 hours.

    * Avoid putting on makeup on the treated area for at least 24 hours.

    * Headaches may occur in 2-3 days post injection. It doesn’t happen to every client every time, but it’s completely normal.

    * Botox takes a full 2 weeks to take effect. If you are not seeing the results you desire at 2 weeks, more product may be required (at an additional charge).
