Wholesome Healthcare in South Ogden, Utah offers Botox® and Dysport® — two of the most trusted FDA-approved neuromodulator treatments available today. Whether you want to smooth fine lines, address a medical concern like migraines, or simply feel more confident in your appearance, our provider Carli Thompson, FNP-C, will create a personalized treatment plan just for you.
What Can Botox Treat?
Botox® (botulinum toxin A) works by temporarily relaxing the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles — the lines that form from repeated facial expressions. At Wholesome Healthcare, we use Botox and Dysport to address a wide range of cosmetic and medical concerns, including:
Forehead lines — smooth horizontal lines across the brow
Frown lines (glabellar lines) — the "11s" between the eyebrows
Crow's feet — fine lines at the corners of the eyes
Bunny lines — creases along the sides of the nose
Lip lines and lip flip — subtle definition without filler
Chin dimpling and neck bands (platysmal bands)
Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
Chronic migraines — a well-established medical use for Botox
TMJ and jaw clenching (bruxism)
Botox is not just a cosmetic treatment. Many patients from Ogden, Roy, Riverdale, North Ogden, and Layton visit us specifically for its medical applications — particularly migraine relief and TMJ management. If you have been living with chronic headaches or jaw tension, ask us whether Botox may be right for you.
Botox & Dysport — What's the Difference?
Both Botox® and Dysport® are FDA-approved injectable neuromodulators made from purified botulinum toxin A. They work the same way — relaxing targeted muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles — but there are a few practical differences worth knowing:
Onset: Dysport may show results slightly faster (as early as 2–3 days), while Botox typically takes 5–7 days for full effect.
Spread: Dysport has a slightly wider diffusion pattern, which can be an advantage for larger treatment areas like the forehead.
Dosing: The two products are measured differently — more Dysport units are used compared to Botox units, but this does not mean a higher cost. Pricing is adjusted accordingly.
Duration: Both typically last 3–4 months, though individual results vary.
During your consultation, Carli Thompson will help you decide which product is the better fit based on your anatomy, treatment goals, and budget.
What to Expect at Your First Botox Appointment
First-time patients often tell us they were pleasantly surprised by how quick and straightforward the process is. Here is what a typical visit at Wholesome Healthcare looks like:
Consultation: Carli will review your medical history, discuss your aesthetic goals, and evaluate your facial anatomy. She will mark the treatment zones and explain exactly what to expect.
Treatment: Injections are administered using a very fine needle. Most patients describe the sensation as a small pinch. A full treatment typically takes 15–30 minutes depending on the areas being treated.
Recovery: There is little to no downtime. You may notice minor redness, swelling, or small bumps at the injection sites — these generally resolve within a few hours.
Results: You will begin to see softening of lines within 3–7 days, with full results visible at the two-week mark.
We use only authentic, clinic-purchased Botox® and Dysport® sourced directly from licensed medical distributors. Product authenticity and your safety are non-negotiable at Wholesome Healthcare.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does Botox last?
Most patients see results lasting 3–4 months. With regular treatments, some patients find that results begin to last longer over time as the treated muscles become less active.
Is Botox painful?
Most patients tolerate Botox injections very well. The needles used are extremely fine, and the injections are brief. Any discomfort is typically described as a quick pinch or mild pressure. A topical numbing cream can be applied beforehand if you are particularly sensitive.
What is baby Botox?
Baby Botox uses smaller, more conservative doses to create a subtle, natural-looking result — or to begin preventive treatment in younger patients (typically mid-20s to early 30s). It is a great option for first-time patients or anyone who wants a refreshed look without a "frozen" appearance.
Can Botox treat migraines?
Yes. Botox is FDA-approved for the prevention of chronic migraines in adults who experience 15 or more headache days per month. Many patients in the Ogden and Weber County area have experienced meaningful improvement with Botox migraine treatment. We recommend a consultation to discuss whether you qualify.
Am I a good candidate for Botox?
Most healthy adults with dynamic facial wrinkles are good candidates. Botox is not recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or for individuals with certain neuromuscular conditions. Men are also excellent candidates — we see a growing number of male patients from across Weber County. A consultation with Carli Thompson will confirm whether Botox or Dysport is right for you.
What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?
Both are safe, effective, and FDA-approved. Dysport tends to spread slightly more, making it well-suited for larger areas. Botox offers very precise control for smaller or more delicate areas. Carli will make a recommendation tailored to your goals.
