Dysport®
What is Dysport®?
Dysport®, also known by ‘Reloxin,’ is a cosmetic injection used to treat facial wrinkles. Similar to Botox, it contains a diluted version of the botulinum toxin. Dysport® is injected to relax facial muscles, smoothing the wrinkles caused by movement of these muscles. This is a popular treatment for frown lines, laugh lines, and other facial folds.
Dysport® is FDA-approved for improving the appearance of moderate to severe glabellar lines (frown lines) but also used for medical purposes, such as treating muscle spasticity and cervical dystonia.
How does it work?
Some facial wrinkles are caused by the muscles under the skin exerting too much tension on the skin, thereby creating creases. When we are younger, our skin is supple and elastic enough to remain smooth and even despite the pull of these muscles. However, as we age and our skin loses its elasticity, the effects of these muscles produce creases and wrinkles.
One injection. Five points.
Dysport® temporarily treats moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows by reducing specific muscle activity.
Wrinkles are caused by repeated movements and muscle contractions. One injection into each of the 5 points between and above the eyebrows temporarily prevents muscle contractions that cause frown lines.
In other words: natural-looking results that look and feel like you.
What is the difference between Botox® & Dysport®?
Botox® Cosmetic and Dysport® are both great choices to prevent “expression lines” from being so severe. Each of these products contains a very similar form of botulinum toxin A.
The main difference really is, Dysport® has fewer ‘buffer” particles around the active toxin, so it works a little faster and spreads a little more easily than Botox®. On the other hand, Botox can be better for treating very small areas, and some people just like their results better with Botox® over Dysport® (and vice versa).
