How Dysport Works
Dysport works by blocking the release of a chemical messenger called acetylcholine, which is responsible for activating muscle movement. By injecting Dysport into targeted areas, the medication is absorbed by nerve endings and prevents the release of acetylcholine, which temporarily relaxes the muscles.
This relaxation results in the smoothing of wrinkles and fine lines, giving the skin a more youthful appearance. The effects of Dysport last three to four months, after which the treatment can be repeated.
Filler vs. Dysport
While both are harnessed to reverse aging skin, dermal fillers and Dysport are fundamentally different in their approaches. Unlike Dysport, fillers don’t immobilize your muscles. Instead, they utilize the gelling properties of ingredients like calcium hydroxylapatite, polylactic acid, and hyaluronic acid to add volume to treated areas. Rather than minimize unwanted muscle movement like the Dysport approach, dermal fillers are meant to enhance lost facial volume or balance facial features. As the name suggests, fillers can be used to plump or reshape lips, correct asymmetry in certain parts of the face, or enhance sunken areas of skin for a younger, more symmetrical appearance.
Dysport Areas
In the hands of Cedar Grove Aesthetics experienced injectors, Dysport can smooth fine lines and wrinkles that appear from repeated expressions like smiling, aging, sun damage, and more. Some of the Dysport areas that are particularly prone to visible lines — and therefore treatable with Dysport injections — include:
Frown Lines
Glabella lines, or frown lines, appear between your eyebrows and can visually cue others that you’re angry or tired. These are often known as the “11s” because the lines form the number 11.
Crow’s Feet
Crow’s feet are the wrinkles that appear at the corner of your eyes when you smile. Over time, these fine lines will remain pronounced — even when we’re not smiling.
Forehead
Surprise lines, or forehead wrinkles, become more pronounced as we get older. Because the forehead is highly visible on our face, these types of wrinkles can be a particularly noticeable sign of aging.
Lipstick Lines
The fine lines around your mouth, or lipstick lines, become more pronounced as you get older, often resulting in the appearance of a downturned mouth. They used to be called smoker’s lines or — now with the popularity of water bottles with straws —they can be called straw lines!
Marionette Lines
Marionette lines are those that extend from the corner of the mouth down to the jawline. They can give your mouth the unwanted appearance that it’s being “pulled down.”
Chin
The muscles in your chin become more active as you age, creating an undesirable, puckered impression. Botox injections can relax these muscles and reduce their dimpling effects.
Jawline and Neck
Whether due to genetics, age, or fatigued facial muscles, prominent wrinkles can form around your jawline and neck. Depending on age and lifestyle, these lines can develop vertically or horizontally.
Bunny Lines (Top of the Nose)
Nose wrinkles, or bunny lines, are the creases that appear near the top of your nose when you sniff something.
Eyebrow
Your eyebrows naturally lower as you age, resulting in hooded folds in the skin around your eyes. Chemical brow lifts, or Botox facelifts, can reverse this process by sculpting and lifting your eyebrows for a more youthful appearance.
Under-Eyes
The skin between your lower eyelid and upper cheek can develop ‘under-eye bags’ as you get older. Since your eyes communicate non-verbally, they need to convey engagement instead of exhaustion.
Dysport Aftercare
After receiving a Dysport injection procedure, your trained Dysport provider will provide you with aftercare instructions. Generally speaking, avoid vigorous exercise that day and don’t lie down for several hours after injection.
Your Cedar Grove Aesthetics provider will schedule a follow-up appointment 2-3 weeks after injection to evaluate your treatment’s progress and make any dosing adjustments based on your body’s response to the Dysport.
