Botox & Dysport
Smooth dynamic wrinkles with a precise, conservative approach.
Botox and Dysport are FDA-approved neuromodulators that temporarily relax the muscles responsible for expression lines such as forehead creases, frown lines, and crow's feet. At Captivate Medical Wellness, every treatment is planned and performed by Dr. Marcelo Taborga, MD, a board-certified physician. The goal is a refreshed, natural look that preserves your expressions rather than freezing them.
What it is
Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) and Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) are purified botulinum toxin type A products. When injected in small, targeted amounts, they temporarily reduce the muscle contractions that cause certain lines to form. Both are well-established treatments used in aesthetic medicine for decades. During your consultation, Dr. Taborga will explain how each product works and which may suit your goals.
What it treats
Neuromodulators are most commonly used for dynamic wrinkles — lines that appear with movement. These include horizontal forehead lines, vertical frown lines between the brows (sometimes called the "11s"), and crow's feet at the corners of the eyes. During your consultation, Dr. Taborga will assess your facial movement and skin to determine whether a neuromodulator, another treatment, or a combination is appropriate for you.
What to expect
Treatment typically takes a short visit. Fine needles are used to deliver the product to specific muscles. Most people return to normal activities the same day, though Dr. Taborga will review aftercare guidance with you. Results are not immediate — they generally develop over several days and are temporary, so periodic maintenance is needed to sustain the effect. Individual timelines and longevity vary from person to person.
Why choose a physician injector
Neuromodulator results depend heavily on understanding facial anatomy, muscle balance, and dosing. As a board-certified internist with advanced facial-harmonization training in São Paulo, Brazil, Dr. Taborga personally evaluates and treats each patient. Consultations are available in both English and Spanish, so you can discuss your goals comfortably in your preferred language.
