BOTOX® and Dysport® Cosmetics Atlanta
When you smile, laugh, frown, or look puzzled, you contract the muscles of your face. Over time, these contractions produce permanent furrows and deep wrinkles in the skin, especially around the eyes and mouth, between the eyebrows, and on the forehead. These lines can make you look older, sad, angry or tired. BOTOX® Cosmetic treatments can not only prevent you from deepening these lines during natural facial movements, they can also erase these marks of aging. Dysport® is a recently FDA approved injection alternative that works similar to BOTOX®. Both injections provide a simple, effective alternative to surgery, leaving you looking younger and refreshed.
What can BOTOX® and Dysport® treatments do for me?
BOTOX® and Dysport® Cosmetics are among the most popular cosmetic procedures in the country and our most requested services. Quick, safe, and effective, BOTOX® and Dysport® reduce or eliminate facial lines and wrinkles for up to six months with no downtime or surgery and little to no discomfort. Through a series of tiny injections, BOTOX® and Dysport® give you a rejuvenated look by smoothing crow's feet beneath the eyes, frown lines between the eyebrows, horizontal lines across the forehead, worry lines around the mouth, and lines on the neck.
The Importance of Choosing a Qualified Physician
Even though BOTOX® and Dysport® are not surgical procedures, it is very important to choose a highly experienced and qualified physician when deciding to undergo these treatments. Doctors who are less familiar with the technique could leave you looking "frozen" or perpetually surprised. Dr. McCluskey is intimately familiar with BOTOX® and Dysport® Cosmetics, having successfully treated hundreds of patients at our office. Not only that, we also take the time to talk with each candidate before beginning the injections to find out what he or she wants to achieve and to determine how best to correct the problem area(s) so patients can be happy again with their smoother, younger-looking faces.
How do BOTOX® and Dysport® work?
BOTOX® and Dysport® are made from a highly purified protein that is very safe when administered by a trained physician. The medication relaxes the muscles in the face that cause wrinkles. In this way, BOTOX® and Dysport® smooth the lines in the skin that make you look tired or angry.
Can BOTOX® and Dysport® be used for conditions besides wrinkles?
Yes. BOTOX® may also be useful for migraine headaches, excessive sweating, and eye or neck muscle spasms. It is likely that these uses for Dysport® will also be approved in the future.

Fraxel® Laser
Dr. McCluskey is thrilled and honored to be one of the few plastic surgeons in the area to have the original Fraxel® laser technology. Laser treatments are an effective and simple way to give you younger, smoother, more radiant looking skin. With Fraxel® technology you can greatly reduce the look of fine lines, wrinkles, skin blemishes, and more – without having to undergo surgery!
The Fraxel® treatment is “fractional” because it treats only the old skin cells without affecting the healthy cells and surrounding tissue; this ultimately repairs and revitalizes your natural skin processes with minimal healing time and fantastic results! The procedure generally causes only minimal irritation, similar to mild sunburn or a “prickling” sensation, and most patients can walk right out of the office to carry on with their daily lives. Whether you are looking to repair sun damage, give your skin a younger look, or just improve the texture of your face and skin – there’s a Fraxel® laser treatment available for you! Fraxel® procedures include treatment and repair for:
- Wrinkles
- Fine lines
- Furrows
- Acne Scars
- Surgical scars
- Bumpy or uneven skin texture
- Discoloration and uneven skin pigmentation
- Pigmented lesions (sun or age spots)
- Sun-induced redness
- Laser Blepharoplasty (eye-lid surgery)
- Skin resurfacing
- Fine lines around the eyes and mouth
- Melasma (mask of pregnancy)
The Fraxel® laser is the best of both worlds – giving patients effective and beautiful results with minimal downtime. Fraxel® procedures can be used in conjunction with other non-surgical skin-care treatments. Our in-house, licensed Aesthetician can work with you to develop an individualized skin-care program to help maximize your results. Please visit our skin care center for additional information.
