About Dysport Injections

Dysport is recently approved injection filler that temporarily disrupts facial muscle contractions and reduces facial wrinkles, undesirable forehead lines and crow's feet. Dysport is similar to Botox in that is works to restore a more youthful, radiant facial appearance. Plastic surgeons across the country are now administering Dysport to help patients fight the visible signs of aging.

Although, Dysport is closely related to Botox, there are a number of distinctions between the two. Research suggests that Dysport produces quicker, longer lasting results than Botox. In addition, there is a dosing difference, which makes Dysport more cost effective. However, it is important to remember that cosmetic injections require careful evaluation by an experienced plastic surgeon who can achieve aesthetically pleasing and safe results.

Dysport utilizes the same neurological toxin found in Botox to relax and paralyze facial muscles, thus reducing the visibility of wrinkles. Dysport is an injection, strategically administered by an experienced plastic surgeon who is trained in identifying injection sites critical to the success of the treatment. When administered properly, Dysport results become visible within a few days following treatment and may last up to a year.

Dysport recuperation time is minimal with some patients experiencing mild discomfort at the injection sites. However, Dysport is a serious toxin that could lead to life threatening side effect in extremely rare cases. The most common side effects include headaches, swelling, bruising, skin irritation and nausea, which generally subside within a few hours following treatment. In fact, Dysport has been used outside of the United States to treat a number of neurological disorders for more than 15 years.

Dysport and similar anti-aging products have helped millions of people achieve a more pleasing aesthetic appearance by reducing nagging wrinkles that can contribute to self-esteem issues. In fact, a number of studies have shown that improving a person's physical appearance greatly increases their confidence and in some cases can have life-changing effects on an individual's happiness and quality of life. This is why many patients undergo advanced plastic surgery procedures of the face, body and breasts, including facelift, rhinoplasty, liposuction, tummy tuck and breast augmentation. Patients who may not be good candidates for Dysport should ask their Houston plastic surgeon about alternative skin care treatments such as: Botox, Juvederm, Radiesse, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, laser skin resurfacing,
