Dysport and Botox were developed to treat the visual signs of aging by reducing or removing wrinkles. Dr. Bandeian prefers Dysport to Botox because Dysport works faster and the cost for Dysport is usually less than Botox. Three units of Dysport give a result identical to one unit of Botox. The active ingredient in both Dysport and Botox is botulism toxin A. The procedure is considered a safe, effective way of treating aging skin. Common areas for Dysport injections include horizontal forehead lines, vertical lines between the eyebrows and “crow’s feet” around the eyes. Dysport has proven to be the best non-surgical form of facial rejuvenation and is capable of producing phenomenal improvements in your appearance.
The effect of Dysport is typically begun to be seen in 3 or 4 days. This treatment paralyzes facial muscles, and thereby relaxes and reduces winkles caused by the contraction of these muscles. Dysport can also prevent the formation of these wrinkles, if they are used before the wrinkles are formed. Dysport will not remove deep lines. Treatment of deep lines requires either a filler injection or a resurfacing procedure like a peel. It is important to understand that this product cannot prevent wrinkles caused by sagging skin from the effects of gravity or wrinkles caused by years of sun exposure.
The procedure works by altering the facial muscles beneath the skin that are related to wrinkles. If requested by the patient, a cream with local anesthetic will be placed on your skin prior to treatment, and ice will be immediately applied upon completion of the Dysport treatment. Dysport works by blocking the impulses from the nerve to the facial muscles, thereby relaxing them. The result is the underlying facial muscles relax and the skin begins to smooth out. The effects of a Dysport treatment will last approximately three to four months after which the patient may choose to repeat the procedure.
In addition to offering Dysport for patients in Bristol, Kingsport, Elizabethton and Johnson City, TN, Dr. Bandeian of Bristol Plastic Surgery also performs eyelid surgery, and neck lifts.
