Dysport Overview

What Is Dysport?

Dysport is a popular injectable treatment designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly those caused by facial expressions. It is a form of botulinum toxin type A, similar to BOTOX, and is used to temporarily paralyze specific muscles to create a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Dysport and BOTOX work similarly to relax wrinkles. Both are FDA-approved neuromodulators, chemicals that are a barrier between nerves and muscles. Normally, nerves transmit messages to muscles, directing them to contract. When Dysport and other neuromodulators are injected, they impede that communication. As a result, the muscles remain relaxed until the effects of the neuromodulator wear off.

How Does Dysport Work?

Dysport works by blocking the nerve signals to the targeted muscles, preventing them from contracting. This relaxation of the muscles reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and fine lines, especially those that form due to repetitive facial movements like frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows.

In this Dysport-induced state of muscle relaxation, normal functions such as smiling, eating, or talking remain unaffected, but the appearance of deep lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive facial expressions is significantly reduced. For some patients, the lines and wrinkles disappear completely. Dysport varies from BOTOX in that its formula is less concentrated, which means it spreads much more easily and faster to the target area

For Best Outcomes, Comprehensive Is Key

At The Piazza Center, practice founder Dr. Piazza has analyzed patient outcomes for years. His findings show that a multi-pronged Annual Skincare Plan elicits the best results in facial rejuvenation. 

The Piazza Center team assesses three areas: skin texture and tone, muscle movement, and bone structure & fat volume. Treating these areas together is essential for results to look natural and last longer. Before an annual skin care plan can be built, a comprehensive assessment using the innovative Visia Skin Analysis system is performed.
