Dysport Clostridium Botulinum for Injection Botox 500IU Treating Glabellar Lines

What Is Dysport Used For?
 

Dysport is an F-approved injectable treatment for smoothing and fading mild, moderate, and severe wrinkles and lines between the eyebrows. These lines, often called frown lines, can deepen with age and often become more noticeable when you make different expressions. This product is injected into the target muscles in a quick, virtually painless appointment. The result is the temporary pause in muscle movement, which can highlight lines and wrinkles in the skin.

Like Botox, this product is created using the neurotoxin produced by a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum. However, this injectable treatment takes effect faster than Botox when it is injected into the muscle, temporarily freezing movement and minimizing wrinkles. Treatment can be combined with additional anti-aging or skin-rejuvenating treatments. Final results, which can last for several months, appear completely natural and effectively erase lines and wrinkles in the target areas.

How does Dysport work?

Dysport works by limiting the amount of mobility certain muscles have around the injection site. This means your skin cannot be pulled in certain directions, and therefore eliminates wrinkles that form when those specific muscles move.

The active substance in Dysport® (abobotulinumtoxinA) is a botulinum neurotoxin type A complex, which acts at the level of the neuromuscular junction in the targeted muscle. Dysport® is a neuromuscular blocking toxin which acts to block acetylcholine release at motor nerve ends and reduces muscular spasm.

Dysport treats one main area of the space in particular. The glabellar lines, or frown lines, are vertical lines typically between your eyebrows caused by your muscles pulling your eyebrows together.

With a Dysport injection, these muscles are rendered mostly inactive, resulting in a reduction of lines forming in this area.

What’s the difference between Botox and Dysport?

Both Botox and Dysport are types of botulinum toxin injections designed to reduce muscle use in injected areas. They differ in the potency of trace proteins within each. This makes one more effective than the other for different areas of the face.

Botox is best suited for forehead lines, crows feet, and bunny lines while Dysport is used specifically for glabellar lines between the eyebrows.

How long does it take for Dysport results?

Dysport is a relatively fast-acting wrinkle treatment. You can expect to start seeing results in as little as two days.

Keep in mind, however, that this differs from person to person, as every person’s body can react and adjust differently.

How long does Dysport last?

For the average patient, a single Dysport treatment can last up to four months. We recommend regular treatments to maintain a youthful appearance.
