Botox®/Dysport® in Malvern, PA
Neuromodulators soften the muscle activity responsible for expression lines and wrinkles while preserving natural movement. They can also refine the lower face by softening chin dimpling, downturned corners of the mouth, or an overactive jawline. The goal is a smoother, more balanced result that still looks and feels like you.

What It Treats
Forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, and select areas of the brow, lower face, and neck. Treatment may also soften chin dimpling, reduce downward pull at the corners of the mouth, refine the jawline, slim the masseter muscles, ease jaw tension or clenching, and reduce excessive sweating.
How We Approach It
Dosing and placement are based on your facial anatomy, muscle movement, and individual goals. Rather than applying a standard unit count, we assess how your face moves to determine where treatment should be placed and how much is appropriate.
What to Expect
There is little to no downtime, and initial softening is often noticeable within a few days. Results continue to develop over the following two weeks and typically last three to four months, depending on the treatment area, muscle strength, and individual metabolism.

It is well suited for both first-time and returning patients seeking refreshed, balanced results that still look entirely like them.
Treatment Areas
Your Treatment Plan
- Schedule your appointment at least two weeks before an important event. This gives your results time to develop and allows any temporary redness, swelling, or bruising to settle.
- To help minimize bruising, avoid alcohol and nonessential blood-thinning medications or supplements for a few days beforehand when possible. Do not stop any prescribed medication without speaking with your prescribing provider.
- Eat a light meal and drink plenty of water before your appointment.

- Small bumps, redness, or mild swelling at the injection sites are normal and typically settle within an hour.
