Dysport is the first and only FDA-approved botulinum toxin that allows you to maintain an open expression with no risk of facial asymmetry. Built on more than 30 years of consistent, safe clinical use, Dysport is an alternative to cosmetic surgery and botox for the treatment of moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines) between the eyebrows.
Dysport is a neuromodulator, and it uses a form of botulinum toxin to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The injector will inject a small amount of Dysport into the target muscles to relax them and limit their movement. As a result, the skin becomes smooth and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles is reduced. By decreasing muscle movement, it will prevent the formation and worsening of wrinkles, which are usually a result of aging, genes, and stress.
Dysport is a wrinkle-fighting treatment that works on the muscles that cause frown, squint, and other lines. It does this by temporarily blocking the action of acetylcholine—a neurotransmitter that causes muscle contraction via botulinum toxin A, a neuromuscular blocker, relaxes these muscles to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Essentially, Dysport temporarily reduces frown lines and crows feet by preventing movement that causes wrinkles to form.
Prior to treatment, a thorough medical history check will be done with our amazing and experienced injection and Beverly Hills aesthetics staff and team during your your consultation to determine if you are a perfect candidate for Dysport injection.
Dysport is not recommended for pregnant or lactating women. It is also not recommended for people with milk allergies or allergic reactions to botulinum toxin products. You will be asked to stop taking some medications, including supplements, a few days before your scheduled Dysport treatment. It includes:
Getting Dysport injected is a simple, non-invasive procedure performed in a doctor’s office or a medical spa. The injection is given by an aesthetic surgeon, a dermatologist, or a licensed nurse injector. The procedure starts with the application of topical anesthetic to numb the target area, keeping you comfortable throughout the procedure. After a few minutes, the target area is fully numb and our experienced staff will start to inject Dysport in different target areas around the forehead and eyebrows. The injection itself is not painful because of the numbing agent, but you will feel a slight pressure from the injection. The entire procedure may only take a few minutes to complete, including the preparation and follow-up instructions.
After the procedure, you will experience slight bruising and swelling on the injection part, but no recovery time is needed, and you can go home right after the procedure. The desired results are obvious, but it would take three to five days for the results to be more noticeable. Take care of your face after your injection by staying away from alcohol and letting the area dry before touching it.
Avoid doing the following after the procedure:
Botox and Dysport are botulinum toxins that temporarily reduce muscle activity. Dysport works faster and its effects last longer, making it the more expensive choice. If you’re looking for a bargain, Botox is a better choice.
Botox and Dysport are both on the market as non-surgical cosmetic solutions to various facial muscle and wrinkle conditions. So which is more expensive? Botox injections cost between $6 and $12 per unit, while Dysport is more expensive at $9 to $20 per unit and injectable collagen costs even more at around $1000 – $5000 per treatment.
Treatment options can be confusing. You may be asking yourself, “What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?” Both are injectables designed to temporarily improve the look of your frown lines and crows feet. Both products are manufactured and distributed by Allergan, who also manufactures Juvéderm, Latisse, Restylane and Perlane.
These injectable products work by temporarily relaxing muscles that cause wrinkles or furrows to appear on the face. Although these brands are similar, there are some key differences in how they work and which physicians may offer them. Botox and Dysport are both neuromodulators. They work by targeting facial muscles to relax them and reduce the appearance of wrinkles. However, the way they block these nerve impulses differs. Botox works by blocking two types of receptors in your muscles: acetylcholine and NMDA. Dysport is considered more powerful than Botox because it blocks three types of receptors: acetylcholine, NMDA and an enzyme called GABA-B which occurs naturally in the body.
Dysport is a type of neurotoxin injection that helps in the treatment of wrinkles and fine lines in the face. It functions the same way as Botox, but Dysport and Botox have different toxins and potencies. It works by paralyzing facial muscles to prevent the formation of wrinkles. However, the effects are not permanent, and so re-administering the neurotoxin is a must to keep the skin wrinkle-free. Dysport injection is non-invasive and effective in targeting vertical wrinkles on the forehead, in between the eyebrows, and reduces the appearance of glabellar lines.
Dysport is the first and only FDA-approved botulinum toxin to temporarily relieve moderate to severe glabellar lines. Its innovative formulation allows you to achieve more balanced, natural-looking results that are longer lasting than other neuromodulators which makes it an effective yet very safe cosmetic treatment that can smooth wrinkles between the eyes and smile lines, on the forehead and around the mouth. Dysport is just one of the many injectables used for cosmetic improvement. One of its main advantages is that it remains effective for 3 to 4 months after the procedure, so it’s frequently a good option for people who are hesitant to commit to make a lifetime decision such as a surgical procedure or Botox. When it comes to wrinkles, there’s no ‘one size fits all’ solution. Many people need a different treatment for each part of their face. This is why we offer Dysport.
Dysport is very good at targeting glabellar lines; vertical wrinkles on the forehead, specifically in between the eyebrows. However, it is only suitable for people with moderate to severe glabellar lines. It targets a type of wrinkle called a dynamic wrinkle, which is slightly obvious when your face is at rest. The moment you make an expression, the wrinkles become more noticeable, making you look older than your actual age. You will then start to become conscious of your facial expressions. Injectable dermal fillers and neuromodulators such as Botox and Dysport, are commonly used for the correction of wrinkles and facial lines. The most common areas for injection include forehead crows feet, marionette lines and frown lines. The forehead is the area where we see a lot of wrinkles – mainly crows’ feet, forehead furrows and frown lines. Correcting these can give your face an overall smoother appearance and help you feel more confident.
