Dysport, to reduce wrinkles on the upper face
Often compared to Botox™, DysportTM is a product from the family of muscle relaxants based on botulinum toxins offered at Victoria Park Medispa.
The traditional use of this neuromodulator was initially reserved for the treatment of muscle spasms, bruxism, and pain. However, at a precise dose, it has been observed that this substance produces remarkable effects on the skin. When injected under the skin, it smooths very quickly. DysportTM is now frequently used to provide a younger, refreshed, and relaxed appearance to the skin of the upper face, where expression wrinkles can settle permanently.
How does wrinkle treatment with DysportTM work?
DysportTM is a product containing a derivative of botulinum toxin, the same one that made BotoxTM famous. Delivered in small amounts into the muscle, this neurotoxin reduces muscle contractions. This product is mainly offered in medical aesthetic clinics to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repetitive movements of the facial muscles.
At Victoria Park Medispa, the injection is entrusted to a qualified healthcare professional to ensure the highest safety standards. The effect of the injection is to smooth wrinkles and fine lines and to firm the skin. Its mode of action makes it a treatment of choice for moderate or deep wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes. DysportTM is thus commonly used to treat forehead wrinkles, which some anxious individuals are familiar with, providing a relaxed appearance. But it is also used to smooth the glabellar lines (the space between the eyebrows), also called worry lines, and crow’s feet around the eyes. However, it takes between three days and a week to see the final results. A repeat injection is necessary within five to six months after the first treatment to prolong the effects of DysportTM.
Modern aesthetic surgery
Aesthetic surgery offers solutions to individuals wishing to improve their physical appearance, to boost their self-confidence, or to correct a potentially dangerous condition. The various procedures in this field address needs ranging from the correction of birth defects to aesthetic improvements of changes affecting the body, such as weight loss or the effects of natural aging.
- Aesthetic excision: for the removal of imperfections
- Lobuloplasty: to reshape earlobes
- Blepharoplasty: to rejuvenate the gaze
- Lipectomy: to sculpt and firm the body
- Labiaplasty: for comfort and intimate aesthetics
- Liposuction: to slim and tone the silhouette
In what contexts can Dysport be a good option?
Unlike BotoxTM, the molecules contained in DysportTM are finer and spread more widely. The professionals at Victoria Park Medispa may use this product to treat larger areas, such as the forehead. In this area, wrinkle formation begins relatively early in life and worsens with the loss of skin elasticity. The furrows are therefore more pronounced and difficult to treat with a filler alone. But with an injection of a muscle relaxant, the skin appears tighter and firmer.
Moreover, DysportTM is one of the flagship products for treating expression wrinkles, especially deep ones. This is why it is also often recommended for glabellar lines, the ones between the eyebrows. This deep wrinkle is disliked because it can give a frowning or worried appearance. An injection of DysportTM can smooth the skin and provide a refreshed appearance for patients who desire it. It is also an effective solution for those who want to reduce crow’s feet around the eyes. These can shadow the gaze or give a tired look; with DysportTM, the skin around the eyes is plumped up for a more vibrant look.
Finally, it is worth noting that DysportTM treatment is appreciated by patients who want quick results. In just a few days, the substance visibly improves the appearance of the skin and restores its youthfulness, and this lasts for several months. It can also be combined with a filler, which plumps and hydrates the skin for a more impressive result. However, it is important to choose the right professional for this procedure and to take the time to ask all necessary questions.
How does the Dysport treatment work?
To benefit from a facial rejuvenation treatment with DysportTM, you must first make an appointment with one of the healthcare professionals at Victoria Park Medispa. During the first meeting, the patient explains their goals and asks any questions they may have. They are also invited to share their medical history. This includes treatments they are currently taking or have recently taken, as well as any surgical procedures they may have undergone. It is also important to mention any allergies and their current health status. This information will allow the professional at Victoria Park Medispa to determine if the patient is a good candidate for DysportTM treatment. It should be noted that the rejuvenation procedure is accessible from the age of eighteen, under certain conditions that can be discussed with the professional. Next, the face and skin are analyzed to determine what can be modified. The injection session can then take place.
The procedure is quick, the injection lasts only a few minutes and causes only slight discomfort, but no pain. However, pain may occur after the session. Post-treatment symptoms include redness, swelling of the treated area, bruising, and pain. But these symptoms naturally subside within the week following the procedure. If this is not the case, it is recommended to quickly contact the professional who performed the injection at Victoria Park Medispa. As for the longevity of the muscle relaxant’s effects, they vary from patient to patient. As the substance dissolves, the muscles eventually regain their mobility, and wrinkles may gradually reappear. However, they remain less pronounced, and the patient can repeat the injection within three to five months after the first one.
In summary
Dysport is a muscle relaxant based on botulinum toxin used to smooth dynamic facial wrinkles. It works by reducing muscle contractions responsible for wrinkles, thus providing smoother skin and a rejuvenated appearance. Results are visible within a few days and typically last between three and six months.
Dysport is particularly effective for treating forehead wrinkles, glabellar lines (between the eyebrows), and crow’s feet around the eyes. These dynamic wrinkles, caused by repetitive expressions, can be reduced to give a more relaxed and refreshed appearance to the face.
Dysport is distinguished by its wider diffusion and finer molecules, making it ideal for larger areas like the forehead. Additionally, its effects appear more quickly, often in less than a week, while Botox is known for its more targeted action.
The session begins with a consultation to assess the patient’s needs and medical history. The injection itself is quick, lasting only a few minutes, and causes slight discomfort. After the treatment, redness or temporary swelling may occur, but they usually subside within a week.
Botox or Dysport: how to choose?
Victoria Park Medispa offers its clients several injectable products based on botulinum toxin, with slightly varying effects. To choose between BotoxTM or DysportTM, for example, it is important to know that BotoxTM is known for the precision of its action, while DysportTM remains unmatched for the speed of its effects.
In the first case, the molecules that make up BotoxTM are slightly larger, lodging precisely where they are injected by the professional and smoothing the skin in a targeted manner. But while the effects of BotoxTM can take between a week and a month to become apparent, those of DysportTM are visible within the week following treatment. However, in both cases, the injection of DysportTM or BotoxTM does not require time off work; on the same day, most patients are able to go about their daily activities.
