What Is Dysport

  • Used to treat millions of patients around the world, the active substance in Dysport® is a neuromuscular blocking toxin which acts to block acetylcholine release at motor nerve ends and reduce muscular spasms.
  • Dysport® was initially developed outside of the United States for the treatment of movement disorders such as blepharospasm (involuntary eye closure), cervical dystonia (spasmodic torticollis), hemifacial spasm, and many forms of muscle spasticity.
  • Unlike dermal fillers that correct wrinkles by restoring lost volume, Dysport® temporarily relaxes the facial muscles that actually cause your wrinkles.
  • Dysport® can also temporarily keep the wrinkles from progressing and in some cases, actually prevent them from returning in the future.
  • Many people find that after several Dysport® treatments, they "unlearn" the habit of using the repetitious expressions that originally led to the development of lines and wrinkles.

    Dysport® vs. BOTOX®

    BOTOX® (Abobotulinum Toxin A) and Dysport® (Onabotulinum Toxin A) are both brand names of botulinum toxin A protein. These are some key differences:

    Dysport vs Botox comparison

    Speed of Onset

    Speed of Onset: Dysport takes effect earlier than BOTOX® - 1-2 days after treatment vs. 3-5 days for BOTOX®

    Effectiveness

    BOTOX® may be more effective for the glabella (the furrows between your eyebrows) while Dysport® is more effective on "crow's feet" wrinkles. For the forehead, the two appear equally effective.

    Treatment Range

    Improvements from Dysport® spread farther from the injection site so it is more beneficial when targeting larger areas.

    Duration

    For some patients, Dysport® results last longer.

    Your Dysport® Procedure

    Although Dysport® treatments are virtually painless, depending on your threshold of pain some patients prefer to take advantage of a topical anesthetic and possibly a sedative to ensure their comfort. During your procedures, using a fine needle Dr. V will inject very small amounts of Dysport® into your targeted wrinkles and treatment typically requires one injection into each of five points between and above your eyebrows.

    The Benefits of Dysport®

    The process is quick, taking only 10-20 minutes depending on the size and number of treatment areas required and there is no downtime involved with Dysport® so you will be able to resume your normal routine immediately

    As with any procedure she performs, Dr. V will use extreme care and precision when injecting Dysport® to ensure that your targeted wrinkles smooth out perfectly. Dr. V has an in-depth understanding of the relationship between facial muscles and expressions so you can feel confident that your enhancements from Dysport® will be very natural looking.
