15 May Dysport – The “Other” Botox
Botox is, hands down, the most popular cosmetic injectable treatment for erasing signs of aging; however, there is another neurotoxin that can provide similar results with the same ease. Dysport, available at Parson Skin Center, is a great alternative to Botox, and it is quickly gaining attention for its solutions to fine lines and facial wrinkles.
Same Ingredient, Similar Results – What is Dysport?
Dysport, like Botox, is a form of botulinum toxin type A used to smooth out wrinkles and creases on the upper portion of the face. It is a minimally invasive medispa treatment that temporarily blocks nerve impulses to the targeted muscles that are responsible for creating facial expressions, which eventually lead to deep-set lines, such as the ones between the eyebrows, at the corners of your eyes and along the forehead.
By stopping the repeated muscle contractions, your skin begins to relax and smooth out. The muscles surrounding the treatment area, however, are still able to function normally, making it so you can still display facial expressions.
What Sets Dysport Apart?
The main difference between Dysport and Botox is the formula and structural makeup. Dysport is much more diluted than Botox, which means one unit of Dysport is not equivalent to one unit of Botox. This dilution doesn’t make Dysport any less effective though. In fact, because Dysport injections are made a tad deeper than Botox injections, Dysport diffuses more causing it to spread over a greater area. This makes it an ideal treatment for those looking to address wider areas with wrinkles, such as the forehead, or areas with thinner muscles, such as crow’s feet. Greater diffusion may also lead to fewer injections to achieve your desired result.
Quick Results and No Downtime With Dysport
Results from Dysport typically take a few days to appear with full benefits visible in a couple of weeks. Dysport is a great option if you need a quick touch-up before an event, especially since there is no downtime associated with the injectable. Your face will remain smooth and relaxed for up to four months at which time you will need to repeat treatment to maintain results.
Dysport used as a standalone treatment can provide effective results at improving your appearance by softening lines and eliminating dynamic wrinkles, but when combined with other dermal fillers or medical day spa treatments, it can help you achieve optimal facial rejuvenation.
