Wrinkles are caused gradually over time in your skin for many reasons. Your nerve signals are responsible for directing your facial muscles to contract, and the lasting impression of these contractions is one of the main reasons that wrinkles and lines are formed. You can improve the appearance of unwanted lines by reducing the nerve activity in problem areas of your skin. Treatments like Dysport® effectively reduce neuromuscular activity for treatment and long-lasting prevention of wrinkles and fine lines.

HOW IT WORKS

The active ingredient in Dysport® is Botulinum toxin type A, which stimulates the production of an antibody that reduces nerve signals to your muscles. This results in a temporary decrease in the muscle activity that causes wrinkles. With just one injection into each of the five points between and over the eyebrows, Dysport® effectively blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately preventing temporary contraction of the muscles that cause lines.

TREATMENT

The treatment usually takes about 15 to 30 minutes. During the treatment, one of our TrueMedSpa physicians or physician assistants inject the appropriate amount of Dysport® into the specific facial muscles that cause wrinkles. No anesthesia is required for this painless procedure, but topical anesthetic or a cold pack are available to reduce any discomfort at your request.

RESULTS

The effects of Dysport® will be visible over a period of 12 to 14 days. As the active ingredients gradually restrict the muscles’ ability to contract, the muscles are left relaxed and the skin is smoother. Some patients may observe visible smoothing as early as three to four days after treatment. The effects of Dysport® last on average for 3 months. Receiving another treatment of Dysport® will help keep those frown lines at bay and restore your visibly smooth skin. Allow 90 days between treatments of Dysport® to safely enjoy your restored complexion.
