Dysport: Smooth Out Wrinkles, Keep Your Expression

Dysport is the next most common botulinum toxin type A for wrinkles after cosmetic Botox. Like Botox, this wrinkle fighter also inhibits facial muscle contractions that eventually lead to forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Results of Dysport are often noticeable within a day or so, quicker than Botox, making it a great option for someone looking to enhance their appearance more quickly for an upcoming social event, wedding or important meeting. The cost is about the same as Botox, with results that may last longer than Botox. Results are dependent on each patient’s response and may not be as strong as with Botox. In some cases, Dr. Barad likes to use a combination of products to give you the best outcome – Artist’s Choice.

What Is Dysport?

Dysport is a type of botulinum toxin injection that works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. Dysport spreads more quickly than other neuromodulators, making it an excellent option for larger treatment areas, such as the forehead or around the eyes. The treatment is FDA-approved and provides long-lasting results, with effects typically lasting three to four months. Dysport is minimally invasive, with no downtime required, allowing you to resume your normal activities immediately following the procedure. The fast onset of Dysport makes it a popular choice for those seeking quick results without the need for surgery.
Dysport may last a little longer than Botox. Dysport also has fewer proteins surrounding the toxin, so it should stimulate a weaker immune response to break it down. This may make Dysport a good choice for Botox patients who find that Botox no longer works as long for them as it had in the past because their bodies may have developed antibodies.

How Does Dysport Work?

Dysport works by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. When injected into targeted muscles, Dysport prevents these muscles from contracting, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines caused by repeated facial movements. The treatment involves a series of small injections into specific areas of concern, such as the forehead, between the brows, or around the eyes. Because Dysport spreads more quickly than other neuromodulators, it is ideal for treating larger areas evenly and effectively. The procedure is quick, typically taking only 15-30 minutes, and results begin to appear within two to three days, with full effects visible within one to two weeks.

Prevent Lines From Forming. Erase or Visibly Soften Existing Lines.

Concentrating, squinting into the sun, laughing or frowning, your face muscles contract and your skin develops creases as a result to these facial movements. The elasticity in your skin is lost as you get older and causes those creases to deepen into lines that are etched permanently on your face. Between your brows, frown lines (glabellar lines) can become more noticeable, even at a relatively young age, making you look angry or worried. Dysport® smoothes these lines by relaxing the muscles you use to frown, restoring that youthful, less stressful-looking facial expression.
