What Are Botox And Dysport?
Have you found yourself staring into the mirror longer than you once did as you glare at the tiny lines and wrinkles that have appeared on your face and forehead? Indeed, the radiant sun over 300 days a year in the Phoenix area does not help your skin remain youthful and supple. But that is not the only cause of the creases and wrinkles that seem to have suddenly appeared on your face and forehead. Time seems to catch up with everyone. Fortunately, the medical team at The Dripbar Scottsdale has a few treatments that can help turn back the hands of time and erase the lines it has left on your face.
Botox and Dysport are neurotoxins that block muscle contractions. In small amounts, they will work to smooth out the little lines that have annoyingly found their way around your smile, the corners of your eyes, and across your forehead. This non-surgical process is very safe and has been used by millions to restore a more youthful look without the pain and recovery process that accompanies a surgical procedure.
How Do Dysport And Botox Work To Reduce Wrinkles And Lines?
When you think about the structure of the human face, you would typically never refer to it as a muscular part of the body. However, there are 43 muscles in the face that allow humans to smile, smirk, and frown. When Botox or Dysport is injected, it temporarily relaxes those muscles, allowing the skin to appear more smooth and supple. The injections take only a few minutes, and as long as you do not experience any immediate side effects, you will be on your way shortly.
Why Two Different Products To Reduce Wrinkles?
Botox is a name most people have heard and know for wrinkle reduction treatment. But what they don’t know is that this treatment is FDA-approved for the treatment of the lines around the eyes, or crow’s feet, and lines on the forehead. It can also be used to reduce the glabellar lines, which is the small area between the eyebrows. The typical treatment of lines in all of these areas is roughly 21 injection suites and can be administered in a single visit.
Dysport is used only to treat more prominent lines in the glabellar area. It is not used to treat wrinkles and lines in any other part of the face. The single treatment protocol for Dysport is typically five injection sites around the eyebrows and lower forehead.
When Will I See The Results?
The visual impact of Dysport injections can begin within a few days of the treatment. The smoother skin and fewer lines can last for around five months, at which point you will need another treatment. Botox results will be visible within a week for most patients, while some need a full month to see the benefits of the injections. Most patients find that the results last for a few months and then begin to decline. In limited cases, the smoother skin will remain present for up to six months before another set of injections is needed.
