What Is Dysport®?
DYSPORT® is a neuromodulator approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat frown lines. It is a non-surgical, safe and effective treatment that can smooth any moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet or forehead lines, refreshing your profile for a youthful look.
The formula is mainly comprised of small amounts of purified botulinum toxin protein, Botulinum toxin Type A (Abobotulinumtoxin A), which blocks the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. This effect relaxes and smooths the look of lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive movements on the face—most commonly, between the brows, crows-feet around the eyes, and horizontal forehead creases. Botulinum toxin is also used cosmetically to balance facial asymmetry and relax tight neck bands.
How Does DYSPORT® Work?
DYSPORT is approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet lines in adults.
DYSPORT targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet—the repeated muscle contractions from frowning, moving the forehead muscles and squinting over the years. Your specialist will inject these muscles with DYSPORT to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of your crow’s feet lines and frown lines between your brows.
What do you expect from Dysport® Injections?
Results are normally seen within a few days but full results were seen at two weeks. Aesthetic results last in most cases 3-4 months and treatments for excessive sweating can last up to a year.
The results vary depending on a lot of factors, body metabolism, activity and body habits play big role.
