ABOUT Dysport

Dysport, like Botox, is a form Botulinum Toxin Type A that is injected into the skin to temporarily reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. Once the toxin is injected the muscles that cause the wrinkles are paralyzed so that wrinkles are unable to form from facial expressions. Although there are some major similarities between Dysport and Botox, there are some stark differences between the two toxins. Both toxins paralyze the muscles so that wrinkles are not able to form, but Dysport is reported to respond quicker to the paralysis and muscle weakening than Botox.

Dysport injections seems to avert wrinkles as long as six months, sometimes longer, while Botox, on average will last about 3 to 4 months before another injection is needed. Dysport can be less expensive than Botox, but Botox patients find that the injections are more effective and more potent than Dysport.

DYSPORT CONDITIONS AND BENEFITS

  • Anti-Aging

A non-invasive medical technique that is designed to slow or reverse the signs of aging. As the body begins to age wrinkles, sagging skin, fine lines and crow’s feet can develop.

  • Angry Look

When parallel vertical furrows form between the eyebrows, the face can have a look of anger or worry. With age the skin surrounding the eyes can begin to wrinkle and create dual lines in
the skin.

  • Forehead Wrinkles

Forehead wrinkles are lines that form in the forehead from age, stress or constant frowning. By making expressions on the face, temporary lines can form and become permanent as time progresses.

  • Deep Furrows

When the skin loses moisture, fine lines and wrinkles can form, which are also referred to as deep furrows. Aging and sun
exposure can cause this problem, because of the loss of collagen in the skin.

  • Crow’s Feet

Crow’s feet are also called laugh lines and form as
clusters of wrinkles around the eyes. Because of the loss of collagen and elastin that develops with age, crow’s feet can become more prominent.

  • Brow Lift

A brow lift is a treatment that tightens and smoothes the
skin by lifting the eyebrows, along with the forehead. The procedure
reduces wrinkles and fine lines in the forehead and gives the face a
more youthful appearance.

  • Frown Lines

Vertical lines that appear between the eyebrows are also referred to as worry lines. These lines are formed from facial expressions and become more pronounced you age.

  • Downturning Mouth Corners

As you age the muscles at the corners of the mouth can pull downwards, giving you a sad appearance. Because of the natural effects of gravity, the corners of the mouth may
droop, but can be reversed with dysport or botox injections.

  • Bruxism

Refers to the excessive grinding or clenching of the teeth. It’s a habitual activity and can occur whether a person is awake or asleep.

  • Teeth-Grinding

A condition that prompts someone to excessively grind or clench their teeth. Most individuals experience teeth grinding in their sleep, but may do so when they’re awake.

  • Under Eye Wrinkles

Wrinkles that develop at the corners of the eyes or under the eyes. As one ages these wrinkles can become prominent with smiling, frowning and laughing.

  • Platysmal Bands

Platysmal bands are characterized by pronounced vertical ridges in the neck muscles up to the chin. As one ages, the neck muscles become more lax and these ridges become thicker.

  • Axillary Hyperhidrosis

Refers to excessive underarm sweating, due to overactive sweat glands. Dysport/Botox injections can help to control the sweating.

  • Botox Lip Flip

A botox lip flip is achieved by injecting botox into the muscles around the mouth. The muscles relax enough to flip the lip outward, while full use of the muscle is maintained.

  • Smokers Lines

Smoker’s lines are lines that develop around the mouth from extensive smoking. The lines are usually in vertical format and normally appear above and below the lips.

  • Wrinkles Around The Mouth

With the progression of age, the skin around the mouth and chin begins to loosen and sag. Collagen production decreases, so there isn’t enough muscle in the face to stop wrinkles from forming.

Dysport treatments in dallas at advanced skin fitness

Dysport®, the newer, better Botox®

Laughing, squinting, frowning and smiling are natural facial expressions that seem harmless until they become imbedded lines and wrinkles in the face.  As the face ages, the muscles on the face begin to tighten, so the skin appear rested and relaxed look it once had.  Unfortunately, over time from these facial contractions the lines remain as permanent fixtures around the eyes, the mouth and the forehead.  To resolve this problem injectable solutions are available to relax the lines in the face and neck temporarily, so the skin is smooth and wrinkle free.

There are a variety of treatments that help smooth wrinkles and improve elasticity, but some lines are so pronounced that they have become resistant to certain procedures.  At Advanced Skin Fitness, we recommend Dysport for stubborn lines and wrinkles.  Dysport is a safe, convenient cosmetic form of botulinum Toxin A (as found in Botox) that reduces or erases forehead creases, crow’s feet, thick bands in the neck and frown lines when injected into the skin.  It’s a widely tested, FDA-approved treatment for smooth, young looking skin.  It is often compared to Botox because of it’s congruent benefits, but there are some slight contrasts.

Besides combating deep-seated wrinkles, Dysport has other uses that have been beneficial for our patients.  Migraine headaches have dissipated for some patients after receiving the treatment.  Muscle spasms in the neck and eyes, as well as excessive sweating have been alleviated when injected into the affected area.

We address some of the concerns that patients have for Dysport before having the treatment and other purposes for the medicine, by answering some common questions.

What is Dysport?

Dysport is a convenient injection treatment that temporarily relaxes wrinkles and lines to smooth out existing ones and prevent new ones from forming.

Dysport is a safe, non-invasive injectable botulin toxin Type A that blocks the nerve impulses to temporarily relax the muscles that cause wrinkles.  It’s very similar to Botox in its properties and treatment of frown lines and other folds in the skin.  The practitioner will inject small amounts of the toxin into the muscles, so the muscles cannot contract and cause the skin to crease over them.  Patients should see the muscles steadily relax, making the skin appear smoother.  For frown lines, smile lines, crow’s feet, it’s a great alternative to plastic surgery.  Patients should see a dramatic reduction of creases in the skin soon after the treatment.

How long is the Dysport procedure and is it painful?

The Dysport injection treatments last about 10 minutes with little to no discomfort. Dysport is non-invasive so patients should not expect to experience pain.  Very fine needles are used to inject the medication, so there’s no sudden spike of pain when the skin is pricked.  There is no need for icing or numbing the area prior to treatment and no pain medications or anti-inflammatories are needed.

Are there any side effects or risks related to Dysport?

Rarely some patients experience some minor side effects after the injection, but some of these reactions can be alleviated before the procedure.

Dysport injections are typically pain free, but some patients may experience a slight stinging sensation during and after the procedure. For concerned patients the physician can apply ice to the injection area after treatment if discomfort persists.

Some patients experience uncomfortable responses to the treatment such as swelling, bruising, redness or numbness.  To minimize the risks, patients may want to avoid aspirin, anti-inflammatory medication, fish oil and vitamin E.  There are some rare occurrences of headaches and flu-like symptoms, along with an extremely rare incidence of temporary drooping of the eyelid.

Although there has not been a link between birth defects and Dysport, women who pregnant or nursing are discouraged from getting the injection.

Is there downtime after the Dysport injection?

After the Dysport injection there is no downtime. Patients should be able to resume their normal routine.

Patients are cleared to return to their jobs or other planned tasks after they receive the injection, but some patients may want to wait a day or so, if by chance they experience some minor scabbing from the injection.

What is the difference between Dysport and Botox?

Dysport has been FDA approved to produce results faster and last longer than Botox. 

Although there are some major similarities between Dysport and Botox, there are some stark differences between the two toxins.  Both toxins relax the muscles so that wrinkles are not able to form, but Dysport is FDA approved and patient reported to respond quicker to the paralysis and muscle weakening than Botox.

Dysport injections seems to avert wrinkles as long as six months, sometimes longer, while Botox, on average will last about 3 to 4 months before another injection is needed.

Dysport can be less expensive than Botox, but Botox patients find that the injections are more effective and more potent than Dysport.

How soon should a patient see results from the Dysport injection?
Patients should see the results in 2 -4 days.

A successful injection will often begin to weaken the muscle in about 24 to 48 hours.  Patients should see a noticeable difference around the third or fourth day.  It varies between patients.  The peak of muscle weakening will occur at the seventh day of the injection.  At that point patients will have received the maximum effects of the treatment.

What is the difference between Dysport and Facial Fillers?

Dysport temporarily paralyzes the muscle to smooth out deep wrinkles and facial fillers fill in areas where the skin has lost volume.

Dysport and facial fillers are both injectables that target wrinkles and last for months at a time, but the product and mode of action are different. Dysport uses a toxin to block the muscles from forming wrinkles.  The temporary paralysis eventually smooths the wrinkles and stops them from developing when the patient smiles or frowns.  Facial fillers plump the skin where it has sunken and has loss collagen from aging and weight loss.
