dysport

Neuromodulators or Neurotoxins (neuromuscular blocking agents) Dysport® and BOTOX® are used to temporarily reduce muscle activity, thus reducing wrinkles caused by muscle activity. Effective in treating the wrinkles of the forehead, between brows, around the eye, bunny lines, chin, upper lip, and neck.

Our elite medical aesthetic team at The Art of Plastic Surgery approaches every patient’s goals individually, choosing the appropriate neurotoxin and adjusting dosing during every visit, providing each patient with a smooth, more youthful appearance and lasting results.

Treatment is administered in our medical office by our elite nurse injectors. During the treatment, BOTOX® or Dysport® is injected directly into the muscle, causing wrinkles. Neurotoxins temporarily block nerve signal receptors only in the area injected, causing the muscle to relax.

Depending on the neurotoxin injected, patients start seeing results within two days and have full results within two weeks. Effects of Dysport® and BOTOX® usually last three to five months, depending on the patient’s metabolism and the desired result. Dysport® demonstrates faster results while retaining natural movement where desired, an excellent option for larger areas such as the forehead and neck. BOTOX® takes longer to set, allows for more reduction of muscle activity, and is appropriate for smaller areas where precise dosage is required.

Our skilled injectors tailor the result of Dysport® and BOTOX® to your personal aesthetic needs. Some patients look for complete inactivity, while others look for wrinkle reduction while retaining a natural movement. Having a complete understanding of the medical applications of Dysport® and BOTOX®, our elite injectors are skilled in applying a combination of both neurotoxins to achieve the best possible results.

Who is a Good Candidate for BOTOX® and Dysport® Injections?

BOTOX® and Dysport® work by relaxing the muscles that form wrinkles on the skin’s surface when we make various expressions. These are known as “dynamic” wrinkles, and they only occur on the upper third of the face, the expressive area. Go ahead, make a frown. You can feel the muscles engage around your eyes, your brows, and your forehead. Over time, hundreds of thousands of these movements, thinning skin, and declining collagen cause wrinkles to form above these muscles. When injected, BOTOX® or Dysport® keeps the muscle from contracting, so the wrinkles disappear or dramatically decrease.

BOTOX® is one of the world’s most famous brand names of neurotoxins, having been approved by the FDA for aesthetic use in 2002. You’d be hard-pressed to find a person in most places worldwide who has not heard of it. Dysport® has been around since 2009 and provides medical professionals with quicker onset of results and more natural-looking results. Both Dysport® and BOTOX® are remarkably effective for removing wrinkles and lines caused by muscle activity.

What’s the Difference Between Botox and Dermal Fillers?

Botox is clinically known as a neuromodulator and is not classified with dermal fillers. It works by relaxing muscles that create wrinkles on the skin’s surface when we make various expressions. These wrinkles occur on the upper third of the face: crow’s feet outside the eyes, the 11s between the eyebrows, and forehead lines. As mentioned above, these are known as dynamic wrinkles.

Dermal fillers are true to their name; they are injected beneath a depressed area or area of volume loss and “fill” the space, pushing the skin back upward. Wrinkles and creases that form in this fashion are called “static” wrinkles. They show themselves at all times and are caused by sun damage, declining collagen production, thinning skin, and other factors. Juvéderm, Restylane, and other dermal fillers are used to treat static wrinkles. These are smile lines, marionette lines, parentheses lines, barcode lines, and others. These wrinkles and areas of volume loss occur on the mid to lower face.
