Dysport is the latest botulinum type A wrinkle treatment to receive FDA approval in the United States and is now available in Little Rock. Like Botox Cosmetic®, Dysport is a neuromuscular wrinkle blocker; it blocks the nerve impulses of tiny muscles that cause wrinkles in the face, allowing them to flatten out and become less visible.
Muscles of the face frequently contract and cause the skin to fold. After a certain age, with sun exposure and loss of skin elasticity, these folds start to form static wrinkles. Treatments like Dysport, which contain botulinum type A, are designed to disrupt this process of wrinkle formation and provide patients with smoother, younger looking skin.
Dysport has been in used in Europe and New Zealand since the 1990s, but it was just recently cleared for cosmetic use in the U.S.
Dysport in cosmetic treatments such as the following:
- Reduction of crow’s feet/eye wrinkles
- Reduction of frown lines between the eyebrows
- Reducing the appearance of forehead lines
Frequently asked questions about Dysport ®
What is the difference between Dysport and Botox?
The dosing levels are different in Dysport and right now, in many surgery practices, the cost is at a lower introductory rate.
Will my facial expressions continue to look natural?
A common misperception regarding injectables is that they somehow change the character of your facial expression. The results are effective, yet subtle. Nobody will be able to tell you received Dysport injections.
How does botulinum toxin type A reduce wrinkles?
In small doses, the neurotoxin blocks the transmission of nerve impulses to specific muscles that cause wrinkles.
