Dysport®

Dysport® Description

Dysport® cosmetic injectable offers a natural-looking solution to facial wrinkles and lines. Similar to BOTOX®, Dysport® utilizes Botulinum Toxin A, temporarily blocking muscle activity that contributes to the formation of wrinkles and folds.

As you age, your skin loses elasticity and collagen, leading to one of the most prominent signs of aging: wrinkles. Repetitive facial movements such as smiling, laughing, squinting, and frowning, all contribute to facial creases and lines as your muscles continually contract. Without once-youthful collagen to help skin recoil following muscle movements, you can be left with the formation of stubborn creases and lines that begin to deepen into permanent and static wrinkles if left untreated. By temporarily blocking muscle activity, Dysport® allows facial creases and wrinkles caused by muscle contractions to smooth out. Dysport® injectable is FDA approved and a non-invasive solution to looking younger without facial surgery.
Additionally, Dysport® can be used to treat wrinkles in BOTOX® resistant patients. While it is rare for patients to develop a resistance to BOTOX®, it is possible. Dysport® offers BOTOX® resistant patients the same benefits, effectively providing an anti-aging solution. 

A common concern among patients is the misconception that fillers using Botulinum Toxin A can cause a frozen appearance. Dysport® however temporarily treats the facial muscles in specific facial areas, allowing untreated areas to move normally so you can continue to show your natural expressions.

While Dysport® is great for treating wrinkles, fine lines, and creases, it may also be used to prevent permanent frown lines from forming in younger patients. Similar to preventative BOTOX®, Dysport® can be used at the first signs of facial wrinkles to help combat the earliest signs of aging. Dr. Bassin and our doctors can go over the benefits of early Dysport® treatment with you and help you determine if you are a candidate. 

Dysport® Procedure

Dysport® utilizes a series of quick injections directly into the treated facial muscles. Usually 3 to 5 injections are needed. It takes a highly skilled plastic surgeon to administer Dysport® in order to achieve the most natural-looking results. Dysport® is very effective at treating the upper third of the face, but can also be used to soften lines around the mouth and may be employed for smoothing vertical and horizontal neck lines. Dysport® is ideal for correcting:  

• Moderate to Severe Frown Lines
• Crow’s Feet
• Forehead Furrows
• Neck Lines

Dysport® typically lasts up to 4 months, with results beginning to take effect within 24-48 hours. There is no downtime associated with the Dysport® treatment and patients are free to return to their activities immediately following treatment. While both Dysport® and BOTOX® Cosmetic can achieve similar results, Dr. Bassin and our plastic surgeons will meet with you and help you decide which cosmetic injectable would be most suitable for your individual goals and desires.
