Dysport®

Dysport® helps to smooth the appearance of moderate to severe found lines without causing the “frozen look “that can occur with some injectable wrinkle treatments. Patients often choose Dysport® because it leaves them with a refreshed, but very natural appearance. Similar in composition and effects of Botox®, Dysport® helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles by relaxing the underlying muscles beneath the skin. By exact targeting of the injection sites, Dysport® impacts two adjacent areas can be limited and because Dysport® is a muscle relaxant, rather than a filler, the “frozen look” can be further avoided.

This perk works best at improving the look of wrinkles between the eyebrows also known as the glabellar lines. Five different injections into five points between an above the eyebrows, temporarily prevent the muscle contractions that attribute the front lines, while leaving the surrounding area free to continue to move naturally. Dysport® is only effective with moderate to severe lines, and it’s not recommended for treatment of mild glabellar lines.

Dysport® was approved by the FDA in 2009 and it contains botulism neurotoxins similar to that found in Botox® though with different trace proteins that may improve Dysport® effect which comes on sooner then Botox® in 2 to 3 days. Dysport® lasts about four months.
