Botox® Cosmetic is an injectable treatment made from a purified protein, botulinum toxin type A. When injected into muscles that cause facial wrinkles, Botox works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a chemical that signals muscles to contract. It has been used medically for spastic disorders for many years prior to cosmetic use. As of 2007, over 2 ½ million people have received Botox treatments. It can also be used for Hyperhydrosis to stop excessive sweating.
Sculptra Aesthetic is a biocompatible (does not harm the body) and biodegradable (able to be broken down by the body) material of small particles called poly-L-lactic acid. Poly-L-lactic acid has been widely used for many years in dissolvable sutures, so it is compatible with the body and no skin testing is needed.
Dysport (DIS-port), like Botox Cosmetic, is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum. Dysport is also a botulinum Type A. This product relaxes key muscles in the face, greatly reducing the appearance of winkles and fine lines.
