What is Dysport®?

Dysport is a type of injectable neuromodulator that like Botox specifically targets wrinkles and frown lines in between the brows. This treatment helps to smooth out these lines while not affecting the rest of your face, so you are still able to make normal facial expressions. Dysport has been used to treat patients all around the world for over 25 years, providing them with natural-looking results. Dr. Hardesty and his staff will take the time necessary to understand his patients and to knows what they want, that is why he uses Dysport to help smooth out the frown lines in his patients. This helps to give them confidence, knowing that they have young, healthy-looking skin.

WHAT IS THE DDIFFERENCE BETWEEN DYSPORT AND BOTOX

The differences lie in the potency of trace proteins, which can make one more effective than the other. This is why it is essential to have a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon’s practice to evaluate you with their specialized expertise.

The Dysport® Treatment

Dysport helps to treat moderate to severe frown lines that appear between the eyebrows. It does this by reducing the specific muscle activity in the area. The lines are caused by repeated muscle movements and contractions. This means that the frown lines and wrinkles can start to appear early, even in someone in their 20’s. To treat the area, the injection of botulinum toxin type A is made into five different points between and above the eyebrows. Since this treatment is targeted specifically in between the brows, this leaves the rest of your face to move freely. This is a quick treatment that can be done in as little as ten minutes, leaving you free to go about your day. Dr. Hardesty and his highly trained professional staff will determine if this treatment is right for you at the time of the consultation.

Am I a Good Candidate for Dysport®?

The best candidates for this treatment are under 65 and feel that any wrinkles between their eyebrows are affecting their daily life. At the consultation appointment, Dr. Hardesty snd his staff will go over your medical history as well as your skin tissue to see if Dysport is a good option for you. You may not be able to benefit from Dysport if you have had surgical changes to your face, you have deep facial scars, or thick, oily skin.
