Dysport: Botulinum toxin

Neuromodulators or neurotoxins are sometimes called wrinkle relaxers. Botulinum toxin is a neurotoxic protein that is produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum and its associated species. You may have heard of the brand name “Botox”, which is just one of many brands of commercial forms of botulinum toxin. In fact, there are seven main types of botulinum toxin named from A to G, with Types A and B being used commercially and for medical aesthetics. 

Neuromodulators reduce signals from your nerves to your muscles, in the area where you’re injected. This stops your muscle from fully contracting so it can no longer make the movements that cause you to have lines and wrinkles. However, rest assured that you’ll still be able to make positive facial expressions, even though they may be less exaggerated than before.

DYSPORT® is a neuromodulator we use to soften your current wrinkles as well as prevent future wrinkles. After several months, your muscles will slowly regain full activity, and it will be time for your follow-up treatment.
If your wrinkles appear only when you make facial expressions, neuromodulators are recommended. If grooves and folds are present even when your face is at rest, fillers may be applied to smooth out these areas. We would then recommend a combination of DYSPORT® and dermal filler in order for you to enjoy the very best results.
