Botox & Dysport
Looking for a wrinkle relaxer that actually looks natural, not "frozen"? Botox and Dysport are both FDA-approved neuromodulators that soften forehead lines, crow's feet, and the "11s" between your brows, without changing how your face moves when you smile or talk.
Grace Aesthetics is a leading medical spa for neurotoxin treatment in Franklin, TN, with nationally recognized Galderma trainers on our team. Our providers are trained and experienced with both Botox and Dysport, and will help you choose the right fit based on your anatomy, treatment area, and goals.
Subtle by design. Tailored to your features, never one-size-fits-all.

Neuromodulator Timeline
What To Expect After Your Appointment
Immediately After Treatment
You might experience slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, which typically subsides within a few hours to a couple of days.
Full results are typically visible. The treated areas should appear smoother and more youthful, with maximum wrinkle reduction achieved.
3+ Months After
The effects of Botox gradually start to wear off as muscle activity slowly returns, and how quickly it wears off varies by individual. Maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain the results. We recommend a follow-up appointment every 3-6 months.
Refreshed, never altered.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are neurotoxins, and how do they work?
Neurotoxins like Botox and Dysport are purified forms of botulinum toxin type A. They temporarily relax the small muscles that create expression lines, so the skin above them smooths out. The effect is gradual and natural-looking.
What areas can be treated?
The most common areas are the horizontal forehead lines, the frown lines between the brows, and the crow's feet around the eyes. Neurotoxins can also be used for a subtle brow lift, a lip flip, or softening a gummy smile. Your provider will map a plan with you at your visit.
Should I choose Botox or Dysport?
Both are excellent and closely related. Dysport tends to diffuse a little more, which can suit larger areas like the forehead, and often sets in slightly faster. Botox stays more localized, which helps with precise, smaller areas. Neither is better overall, and your provider will recommend the right fit for your anatomy and goals.
Will I look frozen or unnatural?
No. Our philosophy is to soften, not erase. We dose thoughtfully and conservatively so your expressions still feel like yours, just more rested and refreshed. The goal is to enhance your features, never to alter them.
Does it hurt?
Most people feel only a quick pinch. The injections use a very fine needle and the entire appointment takes just a few minutes. Numbing is usually not needed.
When will I see results, and how long do they last?
Results begin to appear within a few days and reach their full effect around ten to fourteen days. Most clients enjoy their results for about three to four months, after which a simple maintenance visit keeps everything smooth.
Is there any downtime?
There is essentially no downtime. You can return to your day right away, with just a few easy aftercare steps to follow for the first several hours.
Am I a good candidate?
Most healthy adults bothered by expression lines are good candidates. Neurotoxins are not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for people with certain neuromuscular conditions. We review your health history at your consultation to make sure it is the right choice for you.
Who performs the injections at Grace Aesthetics?
Your treatment is performed by our licensed, experienced injectors, including nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and registered nurses. Two of our providers, including owner Shannon Grace, are Galderma trainers who train and mentor our entire injection team. Every visit begins with a one-on-one consultation focused on subtle, natural-looking results.
