Dysport Specialist in Barrington, IL

The regenerative ability nerve cells contain is amazing. Treatments like Dysport can’t permanently “freeze” any part of the face because nerves that are treated with neuromodulators eventually renew themselves and resume functioning normally. You can rest assured that your face will return to its prior state within about four months if you are dissatisfied with the results of your Dysport injection treatment.

You can maintain your results with another round of injections once three months have passed if you are pleased with the benefits of Dysport. You’ll notice that your muscles remain more relaxed after several Dysport injection sessions. This occurs because Dysport gradually “trains” treated muscles to behave a certain way. At this point, to stay wrinkle-free, you’ll only need to have Dysport injections once every six months!

Controlling dynamic wrinkles reduces stress on the skin by limiting stretching and creasing is just another important advantage of using neuromodulators long-term. This inhibits the formation of static wrinkles over time (etched-in lines that remain visible when your face is at rest). You can potentially delay the need for more invasive procedures when you commit to a regular injection schedule.

Dysport injectables are placed directly into the facial muscles that are causing furrows and lines with the use of a very fine needle. Some doctors choose to numb the injection sites with ice packs or topical anesthetic cream, although no anesthetic is required for this procedure. Results typically last up to 4 months and can usually be seen within a few days of treatment, although areas that are treated more regularly may retain longer-lasting results. Qualified medical professionals should be the only people giving these injections.

Medically speaking, Dysport injections are used to treat symptoms of cervical dystonia, which include neck pain and abnormal head position, excessive underarm sweating, and muscle spasms. Dysport injections are used to treat the following areas strictly for cosmetic purposes:

• Forehead furrows
• Frown lines
• Crow’s feet
• Skin bands on the neck

Injectable fillers consist of collagen, either Hyaluronic Acid (HA) or natural collagen from animals. Hyaluronic Acid is the same component found naturally in human collagen.

Once injected into the problem areas, the collagen or HA “fills in” furrows, lines, and wrinkles in the face to give the face a more youthful and smoother overall look. Injectable fillers vary depending on the type of collagen used or depending on whether they are an HA filler. The average injectable filler lasts approximately 6 months. Unlike Dysport, most injectable fillers can also be used on the lips, for a fuller, plumper look.

A purified form of the toxin botulinum is primarily what makes up Dysport. The substance found in Dysport works to relax facial muscles, unlike injectable fillers that use a substance to “fill in” wrinkles. These injectables deactivate or weaken the facial muscles that produce the lines on your face resulting in a smoother, younger look as they block the release of acetylcholine, a chemical that transmits nerve signals to contract the muscles. Dysport injections prevent new wrinkles from forming or deepening further by keeping these facial muscles in a relaxed state.
