BOTOX & DYSPORT
Botox, Dysport & Jeuveau in Wilmington & Hampstead
Botox, Dysport, and Jeuveau are the most requested treatments at HD Medical & Aesthetics. All three are neuromodulators — injectables that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles to soften wrinkles and prevent new lines from forming. Our providers administer them at both our Wilmington and Hampstead clinics, with one goal: a refreshed look that still moves and expresses like you.
What are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are injectable treatments that temporarily relax targeted facial muscles by blocking nerve signals. Products like Botox and Dysport prevent muscle contractions that cause dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, crow's feet, and forehead creases.
What Can I Expect During a Treatment?
During your neuromodulator treatment, a brief consultation precedes the 10-15 minute procedure where your provider injects small amounts of product into targeted muscles using a fine needle. Patients typically feel only mild pinching, with optional topical numbing available.
What Kinds of Results Can I Achieve?
Results can be seen over 3-7 days with full effects visible by two weeks. You'll notice smoother skin as wrinkles in the treated areas soften and diminish, particularly when making expressions. Results typically last 3-4 months before muscle activity gradually returns.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are Botox, Dysport and Jeuveau?
All three are neuromodulators. They temporarily relax the muscles that cause expression lines, which softens existing wrinkles and helps prevent new ones from forming. We offer all three at our Wilmington and Hampstead clinics.
​
What areas can be treated?
Neuromodulators are best known for forehead lines, frown lines (the “11s”) and crow’s feet, but they can treat much more, from the full face and neck to medical concerns throughout the body. Your provider will recommend the right areas for your goals during your consultation.
​
What’s the difference between Botox and Dysport?
Neither is better. They’re different brands of the same kind of treatment, and both soften expression lines for natural-looking results that last about 3–4 months. The main difference is timing: many patients notice Dysport working a few days sooner.
​
What is Jeuveau?
Jeuveau is an FDA-approved neuromodulator (often called “Newtox”) developed specifically for cosmetic use. It works the same way as Botox and Dysport, with similar results and a similar duration.
​
It’s my first time. Will I look frozen?
Not with us (unless "frozen" is your goal). Natural results are our specialty. Our experienced injectors assess how your face moves, then place each neuromodulator precisely to soften lines while keeping your expressions. Regular treatments also help prevent lines from deepening over time.
​
​
How should I prepare for my appointment?For 24–48 hours before your visit, try to avoid alcohol, aspirin and anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen. They can thin the blood and make bruising more likely. If you are prescribed any of these, keep taking it and check with your provider before you stop.
How many units will I need?
It depends on the area, your muscle strength and the look you want. Your provider will recommend a unit count during your consultation.
​
Does it hurt?
Most patients feel only a mild pinch. The treatment takes 10–15 minutes, and topical numbing is available.
​
Is there any downtime?
Most patients go right back to their day. You may have small bumps or redness at the injection sites that fade within an hour, and some minor bruising is possible.
​
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
You’ll start seeing results in 3–7 days, with full effects by two weeks. Results typically last 3–4 months.
