Dysport

Dysport is a type of botulinum toxin, called abobotulinumtoxinA (ABO) that is FDA approved to treat moderate to severe wrinkles between the eyebrows known as Glabellar lines. ⁣⁣

Wrinkles are caused by repeated movements and muscle contractions. Whenever you laugh, frown, squint, the muscles of the face will contract, causing the skin to crease. As skin ages, it naturally loses its elasticity. This combined with continuous muscle contractions and skin creasing will cause the lines and wrinkles to deepen. Because frown lines between your eyes can become particularly prominent at a relatively young age, it is important to treat this area before it worsens over time. By temporarily freezing the facial muscles that cause you to frown, Dysport can prevent the lines from worsening, and lighten the appearance of these already existent wrinkles to create a more youthful, and smooth complexion. ⁣⁣

Dysport temporarily treats moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows by reducing specific muscle activity. Wrinkles are caused by repeated movements and muscle contractions.7 One injection into each of the 5 points between and above the eyebrows temporarily prevents muscle contractions that cause frown lines.⁣⁣

No local anesthetic is usually necessary but can be to numb the skin before injecting if you are concerned. The treatment can be completed in 10-20 minutes. Over the next few days you will begin to notice that you are unable to contract your frown muscles as they gradually begin to relax.

Adults between the ages of 18-65 who suffer from frown lines and are looking to restore a more youthful and smoother complexion can benefit from Dysport. Dysport can help you look younger, more relaxed and in control, in a cost-effective and minimally invasive way. Men and women who are older than 18 and younger than 65 who suffer from moderate to severe frown lines between their eyebrows can benefit from increased self-confidence, smoother skin, and reduced wrinkles that Dysport can provide.

Along with helping you achieve your skin goals, treatment may cause side effects. Although not common, in some cases the most common side effects are mild bruising, and temporary soreness at the injection site. Post-treatment headaches have also been reported. In this case it is safe to take a mild pain killer to help relieve pain. ⁣⁣

In rare cases an allergic reaction or eyelid swelling and drooping, may occur. If this is the case, contact your doctor should you experience any symptoms.

If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should not receive Dysport treatment. Additionally, if you have a neuromuscular disease, Dysport treatment should never be done. ⁣⁣
