Wrinkle Treatment
For a more rested, less stressed, and youthful appearance
Epi Center MedSpa was voted the #1 MedSpa in San Francisco offering BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® in both 2021 and 2022. Both of these treatments are minimally invasive wrinkle treatments that decrease muscle activity, allowing for the prevention of new wrinkles and the smoothing out of existing ones. In addition, this treatment with little to no downtime softens your appearance with younger-looking skin.
WHAT DOES BOTOX® DO?
BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® are facial rejuvenation injections that block the nerve signals to facial muscles, resulting in a softer and more relaxed muscle. Once the muscle relaxes, targeted wrinkles are reduced or even eliminated for three to four months. BOTOX® Cosmetic works underneath the skin’s surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes lines and wrinkles.
WHY SHOULD YOU TRUST EPI CENTER MEDSPA?
Voted the #1 MedSpa in San Francisco, at Epi Center MedSpa, we have a conservative approach, and our goal is for you to have a natural, more youthful appearance. Experience makes a difference and we have been safely injecting BOTOX® since 2002!

IS BOTOX® RIGHT FOR ME?
After years of squinting, laughing, and worrying, the skin around our eyes, forehead, and lips often develops deep expression lines and wrinkles. These make you appear older, tired, or stressed. If you want to look younger and stave off the further development of wrinkles, BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® are excellent options.

Who performs the BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® injections?
Epi Center MedSpa has nurses, nurse practitioners, and PAs who are highly skilled and completely understand facial anatomy. Their knowledge and experience significantly lower the risk that you will experience an effect of droopiness or a “frozen” appearance. We have been providing BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® treatments for more than 15 years and are an Allergen Platinum member and the number one Dysport® provider in San Francisco.
What is the difference between BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport®?
BOTOX® Cosmetic and Dysport® come from different manufacturers but treat the same cosmetic conditions using the same active ingredient – botulinum toxin A. Over time, people may develop a resistance to BOTOX® Cosmetic, and subsequently, they may get better results with Dysport®. As a practice, we believe that Dysport® lasts a little longer. It is faster acting and has a more gradual and forgiving transitioning period between treatments.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
Often we can provide service within a couple of days of receiving your request. Call 415-362-4754 for assistance or click here.
