What is Dysport?

Dysport, similar to Botox® Cosmetic, works on facial wrinkles by inhibiting facial muscle contractions temporarily. Wrinkles that are "dynamic", meaning they are due to continual folding of the skin because of muscle movement, are great candidates for this treatments. Crows feet from years of smiling and squinting respond beautifully well to the treatment. Forehead wrinkles and frown lines usually improve as well. Wrinkles that are due to collagen depletion and sagging generally respond nicely to injections of "fillers" such as collagen and Restylane, or laser treatments to enhance your own skin's collagen production.

How long does Dysport Work?

Dysport treatments last anywhere from 3 to 6 months when injected into facial muscles.

Is it safe?

Dysport was FDA approved in September of 2009. 

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

As we age we produce less collagen in our skin and start breaking more of it down. The collagen fiber is a building block and support structure for our skin. As it diminishes, the skin becomes noticeably less firm and starts to sag. Lines and wrinkles form, initially in dynamic areas, (areas where there is lots of movement causing repetitive folding of the skin) and then eventually in all areas.

St. Louis Skin Solutions offers several different procedures to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Treatment type depends on what other skin issues you may want to address, look at our laser treatments for more details.

Dysport, much like Botox, is an option for dynamic wrinkles. This is a well-known injection and is safe and effective for fine lines and wrinkles. By inhibiting muscle contraction the skin is not continuously folded and wrinkle formation is reduced.
