When it comes to the
appearance of our face, most of us want to look young again. We want smooth
beautiful skin that is free of wrinkles and sagging, but where do you start? It
can be very confusing and hard for patients to know what type of treatment is
best suited for them. There are many alternatives to a traditional
facelift which will give you a younger, rested look. It’s very important
to carefully choose a cosmetic surgeon who will explore the best options for
treatment with you.
A recent product that
has been getting a lot of attention is Dysport. Though it sounds more like a
fabric used for athletic wear, it’s actually an injectable treatment for
wrinkles. Developed in the 1990s to treat neuromuscular disorders, Dysport was
approved by the Food and Drug Administration in the spring of 2009 for the treatment
of forehead wrinkles and frown lines. http://www.wrinkles.org/dysport/
Similar to Botox,
Dysport is an injectable form of Botulinum Toxin Type A, which means that when
injected into wrinkle-causing muscles, they paralyze these muscles to eradicate
the wrinkles. Botox and Dysport share many similarities, but there are also
some key differences between the two. http://www.facialplasticsurgery.net/dysport.htm
- Dysport and Botox cost roughly the same amount.
- The effects of Dysport may kick in quicker than the
effects of Botox.
- Dysport may also last longer than Botox injections.
- Like Botox, Dysport may have some side effects,
including local numbness, headache, swelling, bruising or a burning
sensation during injection.
As with any injectable
drug, you should research the information about Dysport’s benefits, possible
risks and side effects. http://www.drugs.com/dysport.html
