What Is DysportⓇ?
DYSPORT® is a neuromodulator approved by the Food and Drug Administration to treat frown lines. It is a non-surgical, safe and effective treatment that can smooth any moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet or forehead lines, refreshing your profile for a youthful look.
The formula is mainly comprised of small amounts of purified botulinum toxin protein, Botulinum toxin Type A (Abobotulinumtoxin A), which blocks the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. This effect relaxes and smooths the look of lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive movements on the face—most commonly, between the brows, crows-feet around the eyes, and horizontal forehead creases. Botulinum toxin is also used cosmetically to balance facial asymmetry and relax tight neck bands.
You may consider botulinum toxin injections for cosmetic reasons if you are developing lines and wrinkles on your face due to common facial movements. Contact us today to schedule a consultation appointment and see if DYSPORT® is the right neuromodulator for you.
How Does DYSPORT® Work?
DYSPORT is approved treatment to temporarily improve the appearance of both moderate to severe frown lines between the brows and crow’s feet lines in adults.
DYSPORT targets one of the underlying causes of frown lines, forehead lines and crow’s feet—the repeated muscle contractions from frowning, moving the forehead muscles and squinting over the years. Your specialist will inject these muscles with DYSPORT to temporarily reduce muscle activity. You will begin to notice a visible smoothing of your crow’s feet lines and frown lines between your brows.
When you choose Dysport in Chicago, we will determine your problem areas, and where the injections should be placed for the effect you are looking for. Once the locations are set, we will inject the Dysport solution. This solution prevents the muscles from contracting, which eliminates the look of wrinkles and other signs of aging.
One of the side effects, you may experience is numbness and loss of muscle function, but these effects are temporary. Unfortunately, Dysport treatment is also temporary, which means you will have to obtain new injections every few months. However, if you are happy with the results, getting new injections is harmless and the ideal option to keep your face looking younger. We will discuss this procedure with you before we start and help you determine if it is the right solution for your needs.
Who Can Benefit from Dysport®?
Dr.N.Gharbi and Dr.S.Gharbi perform Dysport in Chicago. While this procedure is designed to reverse the effects of aging on your skin, there is no set age at which wrinkles and other signs of aging may appear. This means we treat some patients in their early 20s, just like we can treat patients in their 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond. Dysport can help eliminate the signs of aging and help patients of all ages look and feel their best.
What do you expect from Dysport® Injections?
Results are normally seen within a few days but full results were seen at two weeks. Aesthetic results last in most cases 3-4 months and treatments for excessive sweating can last up to a year.
The results vary depending on a lot of factors, body metabolism, activity and body habits play big role.
It’s important to schedule an appointment at one of our Chicago offices before undergoing Dysport treatments. At this appointment, our team of professionals will discuss the specifics of the procedure and what you can expect, both during and afterward. Once you are ready, we will schedule your appointment for Dysport injections, most of the time we do the injection right after the consultation, giving you the chance to restore your youthful appearance.
