With science’s continuous quest for more effective anti-aging formula, it has discovered Dysport. Dysport is the newest anti-wrinkle treatment that was just recently approved by FDA, April last year. This newest anti-aging remedy contains the same active ingredient found in Botox but it was found to carry a number of anti-aging advantages. For one thing, it is cheaper than Botox. Compared to Botox, it covers larger areas with fewer injections.
Until that time, Botox was the only game in town for this type of treatment, when it came to frown lines and deep facial wrinkles. It was a cheaper alternative to a facelift or cosmetic surgery and required little downtime, once the swelling at the injection site vanished. The results typically last six months with Dysport and Botox, but the cost savings of the new anti-wrinkle treatment, Dysport, makes it affordable for those that had not thought about the anti-wrinkle treatment before.
The other advantages of the new anti-wrinkle treatment, Dysport over Botox are the area of treatment and limited allergic reactions. Dysport can relax the muscles in a larger area with a single injection than Botox and patients report fewer allergic reactions from Dysport. The reason for this is that the antibodies don’t seem to attack Dysport, the way they do Botox, and Dysport spreads further into surrounding tissues. A word of caution is that you don’t want it to spread into areas where you do not want the relaxing of the underlying muscles to prevent contractions.
To fully understand how Dysport works, you need to first understand the nature of deep wrinkles and frown lines. As people age, the repetitive expressions of their faces becomes imprinted on the facial skin. The skin gets used to the muscle contraction that actually creates the facial expression. Eventually, the facial muscle creases due to the degrading breakdown or production of collagen and elastin, which then causes folds to the facial skin. As a result, the body becomes saggy, the outer layers of the skin loses moisture and become dry.
Dysport and Botox relax the deep, underlying muscles of the skin, and the relaxed or paralyzed muscle lies flat, and so do the surface skin layers above it. The injections add a plumpness that lasts until the antibodies start attacking and “killing” off the bacteria or toxin that is used in the injection formula. Once this happens, the facial muscles start contracting gradually until the frown lines or deep wrinkles reappear, or you get another treatment, whichever comes first.
With the discovery of Dysport, it is possible that you will see pricing on Botox come down as more choices are available for the patients that want these affordable treatments. To stay competitive, cosmetic experts will offer both, or offer the new anti-wrinkle treatment, Dysport to make treatments more affordable, increase business and their profit margins, since the product is cheaper to them, too.
There are many anti-wrinkle and anti-aging products that can eliminate surface wrinkles. However, the results of their anti-aging solutions never last long for they do not act on deep surface lines and wrinkles. In terms of value and efficacy, Dysport offers better value and longer lasting anti-wrinkle treatment solutions than any other cosmetic anti-aging treatments.
