What is Dysport ?

Dysport is a highly purified botulinum toxin, which acts as a muscle disabler around the injection site. It not only removes wrinkles from frown lines, it also prevents you from frowning altogether.
For some of us, preventing a frown isnt an unwelcome change; much like how our mothers warned us long ago, if we keep making a certain face, stick that way. With deep frown lines, we can give the impression we are always dissatisfied, angry, introverted, or more obviously, unhappy. Removing the lines is one thing, but removing the ability to frown will not only diminish the odds of frown lines returning, but may bring our default mouth position into a more natural shape.
Injectables utilizing botulinum toxin aren't just for smoothing out facial wrinkles. Like its wrinkle-removing cousin, Dysport may also be used for some of the same alternative treatments. It has been FDA approved for cervical dystonia (severe neck pain or abnormal head position). Since it is a new product, it is still undergoing the trials necessary to gain approval for treatments like temporary migraine headache relief, uncontrollable muscle spasms, hyperhydrosis, and more.

Are Dysport Injections Safe?

Dysport has recently been deemed safe and effective by the FDA for the treatment of wrinkles and cervical dystonia. But like other non-surgical injections, unless you visit a highly trained cosmetic surgeon with extensive knowledge of facial anatomy, you may run the risk of having a muscle partially or completely disabled. Dysport is best used in the hands of skilled doctors and can give the best results when delivered by their capable hands.
