Dysport BOTOX Dallas

What Exactly Is Dysport?

Dysport is a prescription injection that temporarily improves the look of moderate to severe lines between the eyebrows in adult patients less than 65 years of age. With Dysport, it’s just the lines that are minimized, not your expressions. Dysport has been shown to deliver temporary improvement in moderate to severe cases, even with repeat treatments.

Since the effects of Dysport are only temporary, as they tend to last for around three or four months, repeated treatments are required for patients to have continued results from the procedure.

What’s Causing My Frown Lines?

Over time, repeated movement of the facial skin by the forehead muscles forms lines between the eyebrows. The main cause of frown lines is aging due to the fact that over time our skin loses elasticity and so will start to sag or stretch and this is the cause of wrinkles and lines on our face.

Contrary to popular belief, these lines are not always caused by age. While age is certainly a factor, repeated facial movements, such as frowning or squinting, can also create lines, which means they may even develop in younger adults. Additional factors that can cause frown lines include sun exposure as the UV from the sun causes the skin’s collagen to break down, stress can increase certain facial movements and accelerate the likelihood of frown lines, and smoking results in less oxygen being transferred to the skin and so it loses its elasticity.

How Does Dysport Smooth The Look Of Frown Lines?

With just one injection into each of the five points between and over the eyebrows, Dysport blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, which reduces muscle activity and temporarily prevents contraction of the muscles that cause lines between the eyebrows. Dysport injections tend to be inserted without any pain for the patient and they generally only take a few minutes to administer. The results tend to be apparent a few days after they have been inserted.

According to Healthline, Dysport is a safe and effective treatment but some small side effects can occur such as slight pain where the injection was administered, a rash or irritated skin can develop as well as swelling of the eyes or a headache.
