Make your frown lines vanish and save on
Dysport!
Introducing a new Botox alternative called Dysport. Dysport
has been used in Europe for over 18 years with over 2
million users. The FDA approved Dysport in July of 2009.
Dysport is being compared to Botox® Cosmetic. Both of
these non-surgical wrinkle treatments are based from the
same drug family, Abobotulinum Toxin A. However, there
are some differences in Dysport vs Botox. Dysport can be
more cost effective as the cost per unit is less; though,
Dysport requires more units per treatment. Clinical studies
have also shown visible Dysport results within 24-48 hours.
Dysport Injection Results
With Dysport, moderate to severe wrinkles are temporarily
reduced in appearance by blocking nerve impulses to
muscles where the wrinkles show. Under the supervision of
our medical director, a few tiny Dysport injections are
directly applied to muscles that cause stubborn lines and
wrinkles. A cooling pack may be applied prior to injection for
numbing and comfort. Approximate treatment time is 20
minutes
Number of Dysport Treatments Required
Roughly four times per year. Results can last up to four
months. Continued treatments help continue the wrinkle-
reduced appearance and effects can last longer between
intervals. Once treatments are stopped, your former
appearance will return.
What to expect with Dysport Injection for Wrinkles and Fine
Lines
No downtime. Discomfort is usually mild. People usually go
right back to work or normal activity post-visit.
Some injection-associated events can occur in the first
week, such as flu and headache symptoms and temporary
drooping eyelid, or a bruise at the injection site. Less
common side effects include redness and swelling at the
injection site and muscle weakness.
DYSPORT for Wrinkles: FAQS
What can Dysport do for you?
Whenever you laugh, frown, concentrate or squint into the
sun, your facial muscles contract and your skin creases. As
you get older your skin loses its elasticity and those creases
deepen into lines that become permanently etched on your
face. Frown lines between your eyes can become particularly
noticeable at a relatively young age, making you look angry
or worried even when you're not.
By temporarily immobilising the muscles you use to frown,
Dysport can smooth out those lines, restoring a more
youthful, less stressed expression to your face. Because
you will be physically unable to frown after treatment, you
may even lose the urge to frown. The lasting effect of
treatment with Dysport can differ between individuals after
which further courses of treatment may be necessary.
Speak with your specialist about the results you can expect
with Dysport.
Many people find after several treatements that they don't
need another one for longer, because they have "unlearned"
the habit of frowning or squinting that originally led to the
development of these lines.
What is Dysport?
Dysport is a protein extracted from the bacterium
Clostridium botulinum. The protein was initially used for the
treatment of motor disorders and various kinds of
involuntary muscular spasms, including cerebral palsy. It
was further developed to treat a wide variety of
neuromuscular disorders, for which it is licensed in over 60
countries.
In New Zealand, Dysport now has registration approval
under the Medicines Act for the treatment of frown lines and
for excessive sweating under the armpits.

How is Dysport used?
Tiny amounts of Dysport are injected directly into the facial
muscles underlying the frown lines. It usually takes three to
five small, almost painless injections between the eyebrows
for an effective treatment. No local anaesthetic is usually
required but if you are concered your doctor can numb the
skin over the area before injecting. You can expect
treatment to take around 10-20 minutes.
Over the next few days, the muscles gradually relax. You
probably won't notice it happening - you'll just become
aware that you can't contract your frown muscles. But
because you can still blink normally and raise your eyebrows,
you will not look unnatural. Rather, you can enjoy a more
youthful appearance while maintaining a natural expression.
Who can benefit from Dysport?
Deeply etched frown lines affect not just your appearance,
but also your self-esteem and even your choice of career.
Dysport can help you look younger, more relaxed and in
control - for around the same price per month as a cut and
colour by your hairdresser.
Many people with frown lines can benefit from Dysport - and
it can work as well for men as it does for women. In fact
many men are already experiencing the benefits of a
younger, more relaxed looking appearance that Dysport can
provide. Discuss with your specialist about the benefits of
Dysport for you.
Are there any side effects and risks with Dysport?
Along with its desired effects, treatments can cause
unwanted effects. This does not happen very often. The
most common side effects are temporary soreness or mild
bruising around the injection site. Some people may
experience a slight headache that lasts for several hours
after treatment; it is safe to take a mild pain killer to relieve
this.
In a very small percentage of cases there can be a
complication called "ptosis" (a drooping eyelid) which may
last a few days or up to 4 weeks. Rarely, an allergic reaction
can cause a skin rash or "flu like" symptoms. Tell your
doctor if you experience any troublesome side effects.
You should not have Dysport treatment while you are
pregnant or breastfeeding, or at all if you have a
neuromuscular disease.
Who can provide treatment with Dysport?
Dysport is a prescription medicine containing 500 units of
Clostridium botulinum type A toxin-haemagglutinin complex.
It should be administered only by medical professionals, who
have an excellent understanding of the muscles and
expressions of the face and the skill to retain your natural
expression while removing the signs of aging.
Tell your doctor what you expect to achieve in advance, be
guided by their advice and ensure you are being treated by
a specialist who has been properly trained in the use of
Dysport.
