Dysport is an injectable neurotoxin similar to Botox that effectively reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and fine lines. If you are looking for an FDA-approved way of combating the signs of aging, Dysport may be the answer you have been looking for.
Read on to learn about Dysport, how it works to combat lines and wrinkles, and what to expect from your Dysport treatment at Elegance Aesthetics.
What is Dysport?
Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin derived from Clostridium botulinum, the same bacterium as Botox. Like Botox, Dysport is an anti-wrinkle treatment that works by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to move when we make facial expressions.
When injected into the targeted areas of the face, Dysport relaxes these muscles, stopping them from being able to contract, which reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and stops new lines from being able to form.
How Dysport is Different from Botox
Dysport and Botox are both made from purified botulinum toxin that is derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. However, Dysport and Botox differ in a couple of notable ways.
The molecular structure of Dysport is smaller than that of Botox. That means Dysport can spread more evenly across larger treatment areas, making it more effective when treating wrinkles in these areas, such as the forehead.
In addition, the results from Dysport treatment tend to become noticeable a little faster than Botox, with Dysport results starting to show 2 to 3 days after treatment. Botox, on the other hand, can take up to a week for results to start to show.
Where is Dysport Injected?
Like Botox, Dysport is a versatile injectable that is able to tackle lines and wrinkles in many areas of the face. Some of the most commonly injected areas are:
Forehead Lines: Dysport works great in larger treatment areas and can effortlessly smooth out existing horizontal lines on the forehead.
11 Lines: 11 lines are the vertical frown lines that can appear between our eyebrows. Dysport works well here to erase these lines.
Crow’s Feet: Dysport softens the fine lines around the eye area that are caused by smiling or squinting.
Nose Wrinkles: Dysport works well to combat the lines that can form around the nose, also known as “bunny lines.”
Lip Lines: Dysport can be used to smooth out the area surrounding our lips that can attract fine lines.
Chin Dimpling: Dysport can help reduce the appearance of a dimpled chin, creating a more even texture.
Neck Bands: Dysport can tackle the lines that form around our necks.
Your Elegance Aesthetics practitioner can discuss the best areas for you to have treated with Dysport to achieve your aesthetic goals.
Why Choose Dysport?
When considering anti-wrinkle treatments and neurotoxin injections, you may wonder why you should choose Dysport over Botox or more invasive procedures.
Deciding upon a particular treatment is a personal decision and should be undertaken only with full understanding and after consulting with experts in the field, like those at Elegance Aesthetics.
Many people choose Dysport for the following reasons. Dysport is:
- Non-invasive, avoiding the need for surgery or long recovery times
- Quick, with the procedure often over in under 15 minutes
- Fast acting, with many people seeing improvements in as little as 2 days
- Customizable, with subtle enhancements or more extensive wrinkle reduction possible
- Versatile, with many areas of the face able to be treated at the same time
