Injectables

Dysport is a brand name for a type of injectable botulinum toxin type A, similar to Botox. It’s primarily used for cosmetic purposes to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily paralyzing the underlying muscles. Dysport injections are commonly used to smooth out frown lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. The effects typically last for several months before needing retreatment.

Dysport works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles where it’s injected. It contains botulinum toxin type A, which inhibits the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction. When the muscles are unable to contract, they relax, leading to a smoother appearance of the skin above them. This reduction in muscle activity helps diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, particularly in areas prone to repetitive muscle movements, such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes. The effects typically begin to appear within a few days after injection and reach their full effect within 1-2 weeks. The results of Dysport injections typically last for several months, after which the muscle activity gradually returns, and retreatment may be necessary to maintain the desired effects.

Your specialist at Elite MedSpa will discuss your treatment goals and perform a facial analysis to determine the appropriate treatment areas for you. If the HCP deems you to be an appropriate candidate, the injection may take place on that same day. Some patients report that being injected with Dysport feels like a pinch. Your specialist may use ice to numb the treatment area. Or, if you are concerned about discomfort, your specialist may apply a topical numbing cream before administering your treatment.

Treatment requires minimal downtime. So you can return to your daily routine immediately after you leave your our office.

Botox, a neurotoxic protein derived from botulinum toxin, is utilized in cosmetic procedures to diminish the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, contributing to a more youthful look. This is achieved by injecting Botox into targeted muscles, where it inhibits nerve signals, temporarily paralyzing these muscles and preventing them from contracting. By reducing muscle contractions, Botox effectively smoothens out dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions, such as smiling or frowning. Common areas treated include crow’s feet around the eyes, frown lines between the eyebrows, and forehead lines. Results typically last for several months, necessitating periodic treatments for sustained effects. Overall, Botox offers a minimally invasive and efficient solution for individuals seeking to rejuvenate their appearance without undergoing surgical procedures.
