Dysport Injectable Wrinkle Treatment

What is Dysport™?

New York DysportSo what exactly is Dysport™ and how is it used?  Dysport™ is another minimally invasive injectable wrinkle treatment.  It is used much like Botox® and Xeomin® to temporarily hide dynamic wrinkles on your face.  It is also called Botulinum Toxin Type A and is injected to block the nerve impulses to the specific muscle being targeted.  When the area becomes unable to contract, the wrinkles and lines will begin to smooth out and become less visible.  The muscles around that area will still function as they normally should which means that your facial expressions will not be affected.

These dynamic wrinkles that are being treated are the result of muscle movements and facial expressions that are repeated over a long period of time.  Some of the areas of the face that these wrinkles and line can appear include:

  • Between the Eyebrows
  • Corners of the Eyes
  • Frown Lines
  • Smile Lines
  • Crow’s Feet
  • Forehead

Best New York Dysport

Over a period of time, squinting and smiling result in crows’ feet around your eyes, and frowning tends to create lines between your brows while raising your eyebrows will form forehead lines.

Since there is not much that can be done to reverse these wrinkles that are caused by aging, Dr. Jacono uses treatments such as Dysport™ to help minimize their appearance.   Dr. Jacono sometimes uses it alone, but sometimes he pairs up the Dysport™ with other complimentary dermal fillers like Juvederm® and Restylane® to achieve a full facial rejuvenation which leaves his patients looking younger and more refreshed.

Botox® or Dysport™?

Both of these injectable treatments are derived from the same forms of botulinum toxin type A and are classified as neurotoxins.  This toxin is extracted and perfectly safe for humans to use in order to relax the muscles that cause fine lines and wrinkles.  Side by side, they are nearly identical.  Botox® contains the same kilodalton active core that Dysport™ has.  While both Botox® and Dysport™ are used to treat the same types of wrinkles by immobilizing muscle movements that cause the wrinkles, they also have some differences.  One area where they differ is in the molecular weight of the protective proteins that are attached to the core.  Dysport™ tends to have a larger variability in the size of this protective protein and Botox® is known to have a consistent size and weight.

Another difference between the two products is their dosage levels.  Dysport™ is diluted more than Botox® and will increase dosage levels needed for treatment when comparing each injectable.  Most former Botox® users find that they need more units of Dysport™ for their treatment after switching.  The dilution does not make Dysport™ less effective, though.

Most of our Long Island Dysport™ patients will see the benefits after a few days.  In some cases, the full wrinkle-reducing results can take up to 10 days to be seen.  The treated areas will look smooth and remain relaxed for 3 to 4 months and patients are encouraged to repeat the wrinkle treatment to keep that new youthful appearance.

Who is a Good Dysport™ Candidate?

Men and women who are in overall good health and want to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles are generally good candidates for Dysport.  It is important for patients to understand both the benefits and limitations of this treatment.  It is also potentially a good substitute for those individuals who are allergic to Botox®.
