Dysport®

Dysport® is a new non-surgical alternative for treating forehead wrinkles - that acts quicker and lasts longer than BOTOX®. After nearly two decades and thousands of medical, therapeutic and facial wrinkle treatments – Dysport has emerged as one today's most sought after options for elimination of facial wrinkles.  Dysport is an injectable “twin” of Botox and is the new wrinkle relaxer that is approved in the United States, and 23 other countries, to eliminate and prevent forehead wrinkles.  It virtually smoothes away frown lines between the eyes – erases that angry, worried, stressed look – and restores a more youthful – fresh look.  Dysport is chosen by men and women who choose to defy aging by looking years younger.

ABOUT DYSPORT® INJECTABLE:
Dysport® is a protein extracted from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and was initially used for treatment of motor function disorders and various kinds of muscular spasms including Cerebral Palsy.  After further development it was proven effective for neuromuscular disorders and is licensed for that usage in over 60 countries. It was first developed in the United Kingdom in the early 1990’s to successfully treat a number of neurological and ophthalmic conditions. New Zealand eye specialists and neurologists have used it for many years to treat nervous tics and facial/neck muscle spasms with wonderful results.  Dysport has been in use in over 60 countries for nearly two decades for many medical and therapeutic uses – and for facial wrinkle treatments after additional development for that purpose.  It was approved in 2008 for use in the United States.

DYSPORT® PROCEDURE:
Dysport® is a simple injection – injected directly into the facial muscles underlying the frown lines.  It usually takes 3-5 small injections between the eyebrows for an effective treatment.  It is painless and requires no local anesthetic.  Treatment takes between 10-20 minutes.  Results are seen soon as muscles begin to relax without affecting your ability to blink, raise your eyebrows or look natural. 

DYSPORT FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

What Can Dysport® Do For You?
As we live – we laugh, frown, concentrate and squint - causing facial muscles to contract and skin creases to form.  Aging causes loss of skin elasticity – and creases/grooves become more deeply etched into the face.  These changes encourage an angry, worried, stressed appearance – whether we feel that way or not.  Dysport® works by temporarily immobilizing the “frown muscles” – and over time these muscles stop frowning and squinting.  This allows facial wrinkles, creases and grooves to smooth out and keeps you looking years younger.

What Is Dysport®?
Dysport is an extracted protein taken from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum.  It is safe and effective and has been in use for decades in over 60 countries for medical and therapeutic uses – and in over 23 countries specifically for wrinkle treatment.

How Does Dysport® Differ From Botox® Cosmetic?
Like Botox – Dysport is an injectable form of botulinum toxin Type A.  Small amounts, when injected, paralyze the muscles in motion – those muscles that enable us to show facial expressions. Dysport® and Botox® are commonly referred to as “twins or first cousins” because of their similarities. 

Who Can Benefit From Dysport®?
Men and women with deeply etched lines who want to erase years from their face – quickly – with longer lasting results – and who want to look younger, more relaxed, more refreshed – naturally.

What Are The Side Effects From Dysport® Injections?
All injectables carry small risks – Dysport is no different.  Some swelling, soreness and bruising at the injection sites is normal and to be expected. Some people experience a minor headache that may last for a few hours and is easily managed with oral pain medication such as Tylenol. In rare cases, Ptosis (drooping eyelid) has occurred but resolves in a few days up to four weeks.  A skin rash or flu-like reaction has rarely occurred.  Dysport is not recommended for use during pregnancy, lactation or by people with neuromuscular disease.
