Botox / Dysport in Hoffman Estates, IL
Botox & Dysport at AW Med Spa
At AW Med Spa, we are committed to helping you achieve a refreshed, youthful appearance with our advanced, non-surgical aesthetic treatments. Two of our most popular options for combating the signs of aging are Botox and Dysport, highly effective solutions for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles while preserving your natural expressions.
What are Botox and Dysport?
Botox and Dysport are injectable neuromodulators that temporarily relax the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles—those that form from repetitive facial movements like smiling, frowning, or squinting. Both products work by blocking nerve signals to these muscles, reducing their activity and softening the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Benefits of Botox and Dysport
These treatments can help you look and feel your best by addressing common concerns, including:
Forehead Lines
Smooth horizontal lines across the forehead for a more relaxed, youthful look.Frown Lines (11s)

Soften the fine lines around the eyes that develop when you smile or squint.
Bunny Lines
Reduce wrinkles that form on the bridge of the nose when you scrunch it.Lip Lines and Gummy Smiles
Enhance the lip area by softening vertical lines or reducing excessive gum exposure when smiling.Neck Bands and Jawline Slimming
Relax prominent neck bands and create a more contoured, youthful jawline.
How Botox and Dysport Work
During the treatment, our skilled injectors use a fine needle to administer Botox or Dysport into specific muscles. The process is quick and minimally invasive, with most sessions lasting only 15 to 30 minutes. In up to two weeks, you’ll notice a smoother, more refreshed appearance as the muscles relax and wrinkles diminish.
Long-Lasting Results
The effects of Botox and Dysport typically last 3 to 4 months, though this can vary depending on the individual. With regular treatments, many clients find that their results improve over time, as the treated muscles gradually become less active.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?
Both Botox and Dysport work similarly to relax facial muscles, but they differ in formulation, diffusion, and potency. Dysport tends to spread more, making it ideal for larger areas like the forehead, while Botox is often preferred for more targeted areas. Additionally, the potency differs, as 1 unit of Botox is equivalent to 2.5 units of Dysport. During your consultation, we’ll assess your needs to determine which option is best for you.
2. How soon will I see results?
Results typically start to appear within 3 to 5 days, with full effects visible after about 10 to 14 days.
3. Are the treatments painful?
Most clients find Botox and Dysport treatments to be very tolerable. The needles used are extremely fine, and any discomfort is brief. A topical numbing cream can be applied if needed.
4. How long do the results last?
Results usually last 3 to 4 months, but this varies based on individual factors such as metabolism, muscle strength, and treatment area. Regular maintenance treatments can prolong and enhance results.
5. Will I look frozen or overdone?
Not at all! When performed by our experienced injectors, Botox and Dysport deliver natural-looking results, allowing you to maintain your facial expressions while reducing wrinkles. Our goal is to enhance your natural beauty, not change your look.
