Dysport

Although they work in similar ways, there are a few notable differences between them. Due to the smaller molecules and different formulas, the dosages differ. The effects of Dysport can usually be seen more quickly. Dysport and Botox are both forms of botulinum toxin and used to relax muscles. Biologically and chemically they are similar, but Dysport has greater variability in size and molecular weight. Dysport is more diluted. As a result of these differences, it spreads out further than Botox after injection. This can be an advantage when treating larger areas such as the forehead or for areas with thinner muscles like crow's feet. Is it best to determine which neuromodulator works best for you, because each individual will metabolize Dysport and Botox differently. An experienced professional can help you determine which will best address your concerns.

Typically, the effects of Dysport last three to four months. For some individuals, the effects last as long as six months. Some people experience better results after repeated treatment sessions since it becomes easier for the treated facial muscles to relax once they have been through the procedure before. Dysport treatments can be repeated when the initial results begin to wear off.

Dysport works quickly, often in as little as two days. Depending on the injection site, you can expect to see softer frown lines, less noticeable brow furrows or a significantly reduced appearance of crow’s feet.

Similar to getting Botox, Dysport injections do not show the full effect immediately upon treatment. However, most of the Dysport results will be evident within the first two to three days, making it a quick limiting muscle activity around the injection sites.

The amount of Dysport needed varies depending on the treatment site and history of injection history. The formula’s molecule is smaller, so the unit measurement is different from when you receive Botox.

Although most patients use Dysport to correct the signs of aging in the face, it can also reduce wrinkles in the neck and sometimes be used for excessive sweating. The most common sites are between the eyebrows, the forehead, the eyes, and expression lines around the mouth.

Yes, Dysport is FDA-approved and safe to use as long as a qualified technician provides it. If you have any allergies or medical conditions, always speak with your physician before proceeding with any treatments.
