Dysport is a popular injectable used to reduce facial wrinkles and fine lines. It relaxes the muscles that cause wrinkles, resulting in a more youthful-looking appearance. Dysport is similar to Botox and is commonly used on the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes.
What Is Dysport?
Dysport is a prescription injectable used to improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. It’s made from a protein called botulinum toxin type A, which is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When injected into the facial muscles, Dysport blocks the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles, causing them to relax. This results in a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance. Dysport is FDA-approved to treat moderate to severe glabellar lines between the eyebrows.
How Does Dysport Work?
Dynamic wrinkles appear on the face as a result of muscle movement. Examples of dynamic wrinkles include the forehead lines that appear when raising eyebrows, the horizontal lines around the eyes that appear when squinting, and the vertical wrinkles between the eyebrows while frowning. When you’re young, these wrinkles only appear when conveying certain expressions. But as you grow older, these wrinkles become permanent because of repetitive facial muscle contractions.
Dysport is FDA-approved for correcting dynamic wrinkles — not static wrinkles caused by sun damage and the loss of collagen. Dysport is made of botulinum toxin type A, which can temporarily block the passage of signals between nerve endings and targeted muscles. Dysport essentially blocks the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles. When these muscles relax, the wrinkles smooth out, and the skin appears smoother and more youthful.
What To Expect During Your Dysport Treatment
Your Dysport treatment starts with a consultation with our medical providers, who will assess your medical history and skin type and discuss your goals and expectations. Our medical providers cleanse your facial skin and apply a numbing gel to ensure comfort, following which they inject Dysport directly into the targeted facial muscles using fine needles. The treatment typically takes 15 to 20 minutes to complete.
You may experience mild redness, swelling, bruising, and tenderness at the injection site for a few days. These side effects are mild and tolerable. You may resume daily activities and work immediately, but avoid strenuous workouts for a day. You’ll see the results after 5 to 7 days, with continued improvements for 2 weeks. The final results last up to 4 months, following which you need maintenance treatments.
