What is Dysport?

Dysport is a treatment used to reduce wrinkles and create a smoother, more youthful appearance in adults. It is an injectable prescription drug that is administered by a certified medical professional in a clinical setting. Dysport is a neuromodulator, like Botox, but it’s a slightly different formulation designed to work on different receptors in the skin. Dysport blocks the release of the muscle-contracting chemicals responsible for movement-related wrinkles and expression lines so the muscles cannot contract. Dysport works deep in the muscle, making this treatment a great choice for targeting deeper or more intense wrinkles or for people with a deep facial expression or history of movement-related wrinkles.

How Dysport Works

Dysport is composed of botulinum toxin type A, a bacterium that is purified. The purified form has been safely used in cosmetics and medical treatments since the early 1990s. When Dysport is injected into the muscles, it relaxes the surrounding muscles, providing a smooth and wrinkle-free appearance. Dysport works by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract, preventing the wrinkles they create. It also works to block the release of certain chemicals, like acetylcholine, which causes the muscles to contract.

Benefits of Dysport

The main benefit of Dysport is its ability to reduce wrinkles and create a smoother, more youthful appearance. Dysport also works fast, providing results within days of treatment. In addition to reducing wrinkles, Dysport can also be used to improve the appearance of the skin and create a more uniform, youthful complexion. Dysport can also be used to reduce the appearance of sweat and improve overall skin health. Dysport is a relatively safe and well-tolerated procedure, with minimal side effects. It is important to remember that results can vary from patient to patient and, as with any medical procedure, all risks should be discussed with the medical professional before beginning this treatment.
