When considering anti-wrinkle facial injections, the first think that usually comes to mind is BOTOX, and that is because BOTOX has been the only option for a few years now. There is a new alternative, though, that has seen excellent results in different studies and experiments. Dysport is also a type of botulinum neurotoxin A, which means that it shares many similarities with BOTOX. There are some differences, though, and these differences dictate that you see a doctor who can determine the correct dosage in accordance to your facial muscle mass. Otherwise, the Dysport could be completely ineffective.
As with BOTOX, Dysport patients exhibit few to zero side effects. You can expect a bit of discomfort at the injection site and perhaps a bit of bleeding. Some patients have complained of headaches and minor nausea, but these are very rare. Often, a minor pain medication, such as ibuprofen, will solve any issues of lingering discomfort. If you do experience flu-like symptoms or skin rashes, you can expect them to disappear within a very short period of time. You will, of course, want to inform your doctor of any troublesome or prolonged side effects.
One of the purported benefits of using Dysport over BOTOX is that Dysport offers a better spreading effect. By spreading evenly upon injection, Dysport can give a softer and more natural appearance, which is a distinct difference when compared to the severe expressions caused by BOTOX. It is also quite a bit cheaper, so even patients that need a bit more from each injection will find that they are paying lower prices for their procedures. Your results from Dysport should be comparable to those that you might receive from BOTOX. The effects should be present for three to six months, though the softer look from the Dysport could fade a bit faster. Patients that have used BOTOX in the past will find that Dysport is just as effective for them as it is for patients that have never used an injection drug. In fact, many people that have used BOTOX for years may find that their current procedure is not effective anymore. Dysport is useful to these patients, as it bypasses the immune response.
Though Dysport is mainly used for cosmetic reasons, there are other functions for the drug. Many physicians will suggest Dysport for the treatment of muscle spasms and nervous tics, as it causes muscle paralysis. Again, patients that have had past success with BOTOX but are experiencing an immune response may find that Dysport is the answer to their problems.
If you are considering Dysport as a possible cosmetic procedure, then it is very important that you find a physician that is well respected. Dysport does work by dosing, so you will need to seek out doctors that are trained to distribute the drug. If you don’t, you may find that your injections prove to be ineffectual. Even with slight discomfort and a lower price, you certainly don’t want to waste your time and money on a drug that won’t work.
