If you are looking for ways to achieve a youthful looking face there are multiple options that allow you to do so without spending thousands of dollars. Dysport wrinkle reduction injections have now become a hot commodity in the cosmetic world and it’s the direct competitor of BOTOX. Dysport injections can be used to eliminate wrinkles or furrows on certain areas of the face, taking years off your appearance. These injections are a relatively common form of minimally invasive cosmetic treatments. The effects of Dysport are temporary and generally last at least three to six months.
Dysport is a newer competitor to BOTOX. It has been used for several years in Europe and received FDA approval for use in the U.S. in 2009. Like BOTOX, it is used to eliminate or reduce furrows and lines on the face. The effects are temporary and generally last at least three to six months.
Dysport is made from the same ingredient as BOTOX and became FDA approved in 2009. It was originally developed to treat neuromuscular disorders but once it was realized it could be used for cosmetic purposes it quickly become a common alternative to BOTOX.
The effects last for at least three months and all the way up to six months. Although it is very similar to BOTOX it usually lasts a bit longer and acts quicker than BOTOX.
Whenever you make a movement with your face whether it’s to smile or frown you are contracting facial muscles. These muscles are called dynamic wrinkles because once you stop moving your face they completely disappear but as you age the lines and wrinkles become more apparent since the skin loses its elasticity. Dysport is injected into the muscles that cause these facial wrinkles causing them to freeze in place.
If you have not suffered from any of these conditions you are eligible to receive Dysport injections:
If you plan on having surgery on your face or you have received injections containing botulinum toxin within the past four months you should not try and receive Dysport treatment.
Normally during treatment an anesthetic is not needed and many people find the injections to feel almost painless when they are receiving the injections. Dysport only needs to be injected between three to five times in an area to treat the lines. If you are still worried about how it will feel you can ask your doctor to use a numbing cream on the area being treated. Treatment usually only lasts for around 15 minutes and it can take up to several days for the full effect of treatment to be seen.

By using Dysport injections, you can safely and quickly remove a number of facial lines including wrinkles, frown lines and folds. While it won’t make you physically younger, Dysport can take years of worry and stress off your face and return your skin to a healthy and youthful look.

I Love Dr Echavez! I was introduced to Dr Echavez a few years ago by a friend in NYC who swears by him. She’s in the public eye and has to look “perfect.” I’ve seen Dr Echavez many times over the last few years. He’s kind, patient, thorough and a straight shooter. He’s truly in this business to help people, not for the money. I continue to see Dr Echavez and have referred several friends as well.
