Everyone suffers from aging effects that show on their faces in the form of wrinkles. Dysport is the most viable treatment options when it comes to improving facial appearance and skin damage. It makes possible for us to bring back the beautiful skin of ours and make us look of the 20s again. It’s a type of botulinum toxin that is injected into the targeted muscles under your skin.
This procedure is used for treating the glabellar lines that are located between eyebrows and referred to as frown lines. The injections relax the muscles under your skin so that the area becomes smoother. It prevents the deepening of wrinkles by blocking the facial muscle movements. It is used for people under the age of 65 years old. Dysport is sometimes used to treat muscle spasm related to neurological conditions.
How Dysport works?
- Dysport is a neuromodulator like Botox and Xeomin. They all are made up of different forms of botulinum toxin and are used for different areas of your faces.
- It reduces the appearance of lines by relaxing and restricting the movement of muscles around the injection site. The facial muscles, for example, muscles located between eyebrows contract, then skin also moves along with them. It leads to the formation of a crease of the skin and is called wrinkles. With time, due to repetitive movements, they can get significant and very severe.
- Dysport works here by blocking the nerve signals from reaching the muscles, which then reduces the activity of muscles and prevents the contraction of the muscles. As your muscles relax, the skin above them becomes smoother, which reduces the wrinkles.
- It is important to note that the effects shown by Dysport are only temporary. Once the movements are decreased, it prevents the formation or deepening of wrinkles that are caused by repetitive movements over time.
Side effects
Some side effects come along with this beauty tonic. Some people experience headaches, inflammation, sinus infection, sore throat, and pain on the injection site. Excessive use of Dysport can also cause Botulinum toxicity which leads to
- Eyelid drooping
- Muscular weakness

It is known that Botulinum Toxin caries the chances of spreading to other parts of the body and can cause muscle spasm in other parts of the body. If any patient suffers from these side effects, then one needs to visit the doctor as soon as possible.
