Dysport

What is Dysport?

It is an injectable used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles. It is approved by the FDA to treat wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. It contains the active ingredient Botulinum toxin type A, the same active ingredient in Botox. This is a highly potent neurotoxin that blocks the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. This is the part of the nerve that controls facial muscles. The solution also contains a preservative and a buffer, which are needed to stabilize the solution.

2. How does It work?

Dysport works by blocking acetylcholine from reaching the muscle at the neuromuscular junction. This prevents muscles from contracting and relaxing, reducing wrinkles around the eyes and mouth. Baclofen, a muscle relaxant, is also present in the solution. This chemical is used to reduce the muscle spasms caused by the blockage of acetylcholine. The doctor will inject a small amount into each wrinkle. It is important to note that injectibles should only be used on healthy skin, not when open wounds, cuts, or abrasions are present. 

3. Procedure

There is really no prep before this procedure.  It is relatively painless as the needles are tiny.  The treatment takes between 20 minutes and an hour, depending on how many injections are needed. No need for numbing cream, but if you have anxiety, you can request to be numbed 15 to 30 minutes before treatment. Your injector will discuss your areas of concern and determine how many units you need to give you the desired results.  The patient will feel a quick pinch with each injection that subsides immediately. Again, the treatment is painless, and the patient will not feel discomfort.

4. Advantages of Using Dysport For Wrinkles

Dysport is safe for treating wrinkles and is approved by the FDA. It has been tested extensively and has been on the market for years. The results last approximately 3-4 months, but everyone is different and will metabolize it differently. Therefore, after your 1st treatment, you will have a baseline to plan your future follow-up.  It is non-invasive and will help to prevent wrinkles as well. It is suitable for people who want to smooth wrinkles without surgery. It is also painless, and there is no downtime. This makes it very easy to use. 

5. Who Can Use It?

Anyone who wants to reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other signs of aging can use this product safely under medical supervision as long as they are not allergic to any ingredients in it or have any other medical conditions like heart problems, high blood pressure, muscle pain, facial paralysis, etc., that this medication could aggravate. People with allergies should consult their doctor before using this medication. It may not be safe to use if they have specific allergies like anaphylaxis or a severe allergic reaction. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should also consult your doctor before using this medication, as it may not be safe for you to use.

6. What To Expect

After the injections, you will notice that the wrinkles and lines are fading away. The results can be seen in as little as six to eight days.  Many different factors affect the way it works. These include the number of injections, the area of the face that is injected, the type of injection, and the person’s age. Aftercare is also critical. It’s important not to lay down within 6 hours, massage or sleep on your face or do rigorous exercise.
