PERSONALIZED CARE
Botox & Dysport for Refreshed, Natural-Looking Results
Repeated facial movements can contribute to visible expression lines over time. Botox and Dysport are prescription injectable treatments that temporarily reduce activity in selected facial muscles, helping soften the appearance of certain lines and wrinkles.
Treatment is not intended to change your identity or remove every sign of expression. Shannon uses careful placement and individualized dosing to create results that complement your facial structure and aesthetic preferences.
During your consultation, Shannon will assess how your facial muscles move, discuss your concerns, and explain whether Botox, Dysport, or another treatment may be appropriate.
Frown Lines
Vertical lines between the eyebrows can develop from repeated squinting, concentrating, or frowning. A personalized neuromodulator treatment may help soften these lines and create a more relaxed appearance.
Crow’s Feet
Lines around the outer corners of the eyes may become more noticeable when you smile or squint. Strategic injections can soften their appearance without taking away the warmth of your expression.
What Can Botox & Dysport Treat?
Botox and Dysport can improve the appearance of expression lines caused by repeated muscle movement. The areas treated and the product selected depend on your anatomy, concerns, medical eligibility, and desired result.
Forehead Lines
Horizontal forehead lines become more visible when raising the eyebrows. Careful treatment can soften these lines while helping preserve natural facial movement and eyebrow balance.
Additional Treatment Areas
Depending on your anatomy and concerns, Shannon may discuss treatment for other facial or neck areas. Shannon will explain the treatment, potential benefits, risks, alternatives, and expected outcome before you decide whether to proceed.
Botox Cosmetic is an established neuromodulator used to temporarily improve the appearance of certain facial lines and neck bands in eligible adults.
Depending on the treatment area, patients may begin noticing changes within the first several days. Full results can take longer to develop.
Shannon considers your facial anatomy, muscle strength, treatment history, previous response, medical history, priorities, and desired degree of movement before recommending a product.
Neither option is right for everyone. Shannon will explain why she recommends Botox or Dysport and what you may reasonably expect from your treatment.
Botox vs. Dysport
Dysport is another neuromodulator option that temporarily improves moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows in eligible adults.
Some patients may begin seeing improvement within several days. Results may last several months, although timing and duration vary by individual.
Personalized Cosmetic Injectables, Never a Standard Formula
Shannon evaluates your facial structure, muscle movement, symmetry, skin quality, and treatment areas before recommending a plan.
The objective is thoughtful improvement rather than unnecessary treatment. Shannon recommends only what she believes will provide an appropriate and meaningful benefit.
Treatment is planned to soften selected lines while maintaining expression and the features that make you recognizable.
Shannon approaches every injectable treatment with precision, restraint, and respect for the individual. She does not use a predetermined number of units or apply the same injection pattern to every patient.
Your treatment plan is based on how your face moves, the balance between different muscle groups, your previous experience with injectables, and what a natural result means to you.

Personalized Cosmetic Injectables, Never a Standard Formula
Botox and Dysport are prescription treatments and are not appropriate for every person. Your eligibility depends on your health history, medications, allergies, treatment areas, previous response to neuromodulators, and other clinical factors.
Tell Shannon about all medical conditions, medications, supplements, prior injectable treatments, and any history of reactions to botulinum toxin products. You should also tell her if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
Temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, bruising, headache, or other side effects may occur. More serious complications are possible. Shannon will review the relevant risks and explain when to seek medical care.
