Botox & Dysport in Nashville
Botox and Dysport are prescription injectable treatments used in cosmetic dermatology to temporarily soften the appearance of expression lines with a precise, anatomy-guided approach.
A Clinical Approach to Facial Movement
Botox and Dysport work by temporarily reducing activity in selected facial muscles. When placed carefully, this can soften the appearance of lines created by repeated facial movement.
At Cortina, treatment planning begins with facial anatomy, muscle movement, symmetry, prior treatment history, and your preferred level of softening. The goal is controlled, natural-looking improvement, not a frozen or overtreated appearance.
Common Areas We Evaluate
Frown Lines
Lines between the brows, often called glabellar lines, may create a tense, tired, or stern appearance.
Forehead Lines
Horizontal forehead lines require conservative planning to soften lines while preserving appropriate brow position.
Crow’s Feet
Lines around the eyes can be treated with attention to natural expression and facial balance.
Choosing the Right Product
Botox and Dysport are both botulinum toxin type A treatments, but they are not identical products and are not interchangeable unit-for-unit. Product choice depends on the treatment area, muscle activity, prior response, and provider judgment.
Botox Cosmetic is commonly used for frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. Dysport is commonly considered for frown lines between the eyebrows. Your provider will recommend the option that best fits your anatomy and goals.
Your Cosmetic Consultation
Your visit begins with a review of your goals, facial movement, prior injectable history, and areas of concern. Your provider will evaluate muscle activity and facial balance before recommending treatment areas, product selection, and dosing.
Most treatment visits are relatively brief, but the planning should be careful. Good injectable outcomes depend on precision, restraint, and an understanding of how the face moves.
When Results Develop
Results are not immediate. Patients often begin to notice softening within several days, with full effect developing over time depending on product, treatment area, and individual response.
The effect is temporary. Maintenance treatment is typically planned based on your response, goals, and the provider’s clinical recommendation.
Why Have Injectables at Cortina?
Cortina Dermatology & Aesthetics offers cosmetic injectables inside a medical dermatology clinic, not a discount-driven med spa environment. Treatment recommendations are guided by anatomy, safety, facial balance, and long-term skin health.
For some patients, Botox or Dysport may be the right standalone treatment. For others, the best plan may include skincare, laser treatments, fillers, Sculptra, or other cosmetic dermatology options.
Pricing & Insurance
Botox and Dysport are cosmetic treatments and are self-pay. Insurance does not cover elective cosmetic and aesthetic treatments.
During your consultation, the team can review your treatment goals, recommended areas, product selection, and pricing.
