Botox and Dysport injections at Texas Surgical Arts in Houston provide non-surgical dynamic facial wrinkle treatment administered under the supervision of Dr. Ricardo M. Bonnor, a double board-certified cosmetic and general surgeon whose surgical depth in facial anatomy provides the foundation for precise and anatomically appropriate neurotoxin placement. Botulinum toxin type A (onabotulinumtoxinA / Botox Cosmetic and abobotulinumtoxinA / Dysport) works by blocking acetylcholine release at the neuromuscular junction, temporarily preventing the targeted facial muscle from contracting. When the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkle formation are selectively relaxed — the corrugator supercilii and procerus (the glabellar frown muscles producing the vertical '11' lines between the brows), the frontalis (horizontal forehead lines), and the orbicularis oculi (crow's feet at the lateral orbital area) — the overlying skin smooths. The neurotoxin effect is localised to injected muscle groups with negligible systemic spread at the doses used for cosmetic treatment. Onset of visible effect begins at 3–5 days with full effect at 2 weeks; duration is typically 3–5 months depending on individual muscle mass, metabolic rate, and dilution used. Dysport is an alternative botulinum toxin formulation with a slightly different molecular size and diffusion profile — it typically spreads marginally more widely from the injection site, which some physicians prefer for treatment of the frontalis where a more diffuse effect is beneficial, while Botox may be preferred for areas requiring very precise localisation. The availability of both products at Texas Surgical Arts allows the injector to match the product to the indication and patient preference. Off-label applications beyond the standard three cosmetic areas include brow lifting via selective lateral frontalis preservation, masseter injection for jaw slimming, platysmal band injection for neck rejuvenation, and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) treatment. Houston-area pricing is typically $300–$600 per standard session. No downtime required.
