What is Dysport?
Dysport is a prescription injectable neuromodulator. Chemically and functionally similar to Botox, Dysport is used to temporarily improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines without drastically altering your look or removing the ability to “express yourself”.
Dysport, like Botox, is made from the Botulinum toxin. This toxin is the cause of botulism, a condition of temporary muscle paralysis. This may sound strange, but using the same principle as Botox, Dysport is able to stifle the effect of muscle tightening or contraction on the skin. When we express ourselves and contract our facial muscles, our skin tends to take on those wrinkles after some time. The way an individual who frowns a lot may develop overly evident frown lines around the mouth, or forehead wrinkles on the forehead. When injected into the facial muscles, it is unlikely to harm the patient, and actually alleviates patients of wrinkles & fine lines. The untreated facial muscles still function normally, allowing you to freely show facial expressions, such as smiling or frowning.
How Does Dysport Work?
Over time, the muscles above and between the eyebrows repeatedly contract and tighten, causing wrinkles. But, with just 1 injection into each of 5 points between and over the eyebrows, Dysport blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines to develop in the skin. Leaving patients with a smooth, wrinkle-free look.
Dysport is most affective for moderate to severe, forehead wrinkles and wrinkles that appear between the eyes.
What Does Dysport improve?
Like Botox, Dysport works on a lot of different areas of the face and even some parts of the body (in somewhat rare circumstances). The most common uses for Dysport are for:
- Frown Lines, and other expression lines.
- Forehead Wrinkles
- Crow’s feet and under-eye hallows or depressions
- “Lipstick” lines or smile marks around the mouth
- Banded Lines along the neck
How long does Dysport last?
OneDysport will be using Dysportwill typically last anywhere from 6-12 months, depending on severity of wrinkles, the amount of Dysport used, and daily skin care habits. Dysport works to block the signal from the nerve to the muscles, resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines. Patients are asked to avoid more than one Dysport treatment within 90 days, as they may have adverse effects on facial muscles.Once your Dysporttreatment begins to wear off however, the treatment may be repeated but patients are advised to wait atleast6-months.
