What is Dysport?

There is help for those individuals who are plagued with frown lines across the forehead, crow’s feet and lines between the eyes. These lines can detract from a person’s appearance and cause them to look and feel older than they are. Dysport is a very effective treatment that works by relaxing the muscles of the face. When facial muscles relax, wrinkles and lines are then reduced and smoothed out. Dysport is administered by injection to the areas of the face that are being treated.

Benefits of Dysport

Deep frown lines and wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes can be very disillusioning and upsetting. No amount of makeup will disguise them, and over-the-counter creams and lotions are ineffective for these types of lines. With Dysport, the patient gets very effective help in the area where it is needed. Dysport works by blocking impulses that travel from nerves to muscles in the face. With the muscles in a relaxed state, the skin will become smoother.
