What is Dysport®?
Dysport® is a wrinkle-relaxing injection that works similarly to Botox®. It can be used to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles, especially on the forehead and around the eyes. It is another neurotoxin that works in the same manner as Botox® and Xeomin®, two other popular cosmetic injectables used for similar purposes.
What is Dysport® made from?
It is made from a toxin called botulinum toxin type A, which temporarily paralyzes the muscles in your face to reduce movement and prevent new wrinkles from forming. This medication has been used for decades for a number of conditions and medical issues throughout the body, including overactive bladder, excessive sweating, and chronic headaches and migraines.
How long will it take to see the results from Dysport®, and how long do they last?
It typically takes about three to seven days for Dysport® to take full effect, with results lasting for four to six months before touch-up injections are needed.
What are some risks and side effects of Dysport® injections?
Some common side effects include pain or swelling in the injection site, headaches, and temporary drooping of the eyebrows or eyelids. Talking with a professional at Georgia Dermatology Partners is the best way to determine if this treatment is appropriate for you and if the benefits outweigh the possible risks.
Is Dysport® safe?
Overall, Dysport® is a safe and effective option for achieving a more youthful appearance. When administered by an experienced professional, the risks and complications associated with these types of injections is minimized.
