Dysport: botulinum toxin type A to correct age-related changes

Dysport Krasnodar

Injections of the drug Dysport, developed by French scientists, fight the first visible age-related changes - facial wrinkles. This product is a highly purified botulinum toxin type A of protein origin. Despite the low concentration of the active substance, Dysport injections block nerve impulses sent by facial muscles to the brain and prevent muscle contraction. Thanks to the removal of muscle hypertonicity, even deep wrinkles are effectively smoothed out, and the absence of facial activity throughout the entire duration of the drug allows you to avoid the reappearance of creases and folds in problem areas. Dysport injections are completely painless, as they are done with the finest needles.

In general, Dysport injections help correct the following cosmetic defects:

• facial wrinkles in the area between the eyebrows
• folds in the forehead area
• crow's feet in the corners of the eyes

How it works?

Created by French scientists, Dysport is a highly purified botulinum toxin type A with auxiliary components. Being a powerful poison, botulinum toxin causes muscle paralysis, but in low concentrations this substance is successfully used in cosmetology. To correct wrinkles, Dysport is injected directly into the facial muscles using special atraumatic thin needles and blocks the neuroleptic signals that these areas send to the brain, stimulating muscle contractions. The injection causes relaxation of the facial muscles, resulting in:

• even deep wrinkles are smoothed out
• smoothes skin in problem areas
• the motor activity of facial muscles decreases, the contraction of which contributes to the appearance of wrinkles

It is worth noting that when using the drug Dysport, the possibility of atrophy of facial muscles is completely excluded - after all, injections do not disrupt the process of normal blood supply and nutrition to problem areas.

Is Dysport dangerous?

Initially, botulinum toxin was used to treat spastic muscle conditions in infants, including spasmodic torticollis and severe blepharospasm. Then they began to treat migraine headaches with its help. And when it is injected into the facial muscles, they relax, which is not a harmful effect. On the contrary, during the immobilization of the muscles, the skin will be able to recover and synthesize the necessary components within itself.

Important!

Botulinum toxin does not make the face a “mask”. Facial expressions are preserved, wrinkles simply cease to appear.

Botox or Dysport: what to choose?

Having decided to take a “beauty injection,” many ladies wonder which drug to choose: Botox, widely known in Russia, made in the USA, or the French Dysport? Being derivatives of botulinum toxin type A, both of these agents have a similar mechanism of action. Both have been studied clinically, but Botox has been more widely used and has been studied for longer. The final choice of drug depends on the desired effect and the presence of contraindications. Advantages of the drug Dysport:

• begins to act several days earlier than similar drugs due to increased concentration, which is especially important for those who decide to correct wrinkles before an important event
• has a greater tendency to diffusion, due to which the neuroparalytic effect extends not only to the injection site, but also to the adjacent areas (this, in turn, makes it possible to achieve a more natural effect and reduce the number of drug injections in one procedure)
• Botox and Dysport have a cumulative effect: with each procedure, the duration of the drug increases, which allows you to resort to “beauty injections” less often

How is Dysport different from Botox and which drug is better? Clinical trials conducted by American plastic surgery scientists in New York showed that the effect of using Dysport lasts longer and appears on the skin faster. However, research by scientists from San Francisco suggests that Botox is more effective in smoothing the skin. Thus, it is difficult to say unequivocally which drug is better. Patients, for example, claim that Dysport gives results in a shorter time.

As for the concentration of botulinum toxin, it is lower in Botox than in the same dosage of Dysport. Therefore, for one unit of Botox there are 2.5 units of Dysport.

Due to its ability to diffuse, Dysport is more suitable for areas of the face and body such as the forehead, bridge of the nose and neck. Botox is preferable for targeted treatment of problem areas. Both drugs can become the final stage of a complex of anti-aging procedures and are perfectly combined with other types of injection correction of age-related changes. Thus, both Botox and Dysport are suitable for use in conjunction with fillers with hyaluronic acid.

Which drug to use is decided by the patient himself after consultation with a cosmetologist, who diagnoses the problem and recommends the best way to solve it.

Injection cosmetology has pushed plastic surgery into the background. So, in order to prolong youth and allow the skin to remain just as fresh, healthy, without wrinkles, just a few beauty injections are enough, for example, Dysport injections.

This is a drug based on botulinum toxin. It is used to eliminate facial wrinkles, as well as for hyperhidrosis - increased sweating of the armpits, arms, and legs.

How does Dysport work?

The drug blocks the motor impulse from nerves to muscles. As a result, those muscles that contribute to the appearance of facial wrinkles are compressed. Don’t worry that after the injection your whole face will become motionless: the procedure involves local injection of Dysport, so everything will be fine with facial expressions.

• Where can you inject Dysport:

• around eyes;
• forehead;
• nose bridge area;
• armpits (with hyperhidrosis).

• What should you not do before the procedure?

1. You should not take antibiotics 10 days before the procedure.
2. For 2-3 days you need to bend over as little as possible. Any physical activity will lead to increased stimulation of blood flow to the face. And, if the day before you did sports or cleaning, and then went for Dysport, the drug may be distributed unevenly.
3. For 2 nights it is better to sleep on a high pillow.
4. For 3 days you should give up alcohol, coffee and smoking. They also affect blood microcirculation, so it’s better not to take risks. Otherwise, the drug, as with physical activity, may be distributed unevenly.

When does the effect of Dysport injections occur?

You will notice the first effect 2-5 days after the procedure. And the final one is only after 12-14 days.

Indications

Dysport injections can be given to those who:

• there are wrinkles and creases in the forehead;
• folds on the bridge of the nose and between the eyebrows;
• wrinkles in the corners of the eyes;
• facial wrinkles;
• any imperfections in the décolleté area;
• asymmetry of eyebrows and cheekbones is observed;
• hyperhidrosis.

Contraindications

They are divided into relative and absolute.

The first include:

• pregnancy and breastfeeding;
• chronic diseases in the acute stage;
• the affected area of ​​the skin where the drug must be injected.

In the list of absolute contraindications:

• individual intolerance to the components of the drug;
• pathologies of the cardiovascular system;
• respiratory failure;
• autoimmune neuromuscular diseases;
• problems with swallowing function;
• diseases of the endocrine system.

How is the injection procedure performed?

Before starting the procedure, you should consult your doctor to find out if you have any health-related contraindications.

The whole procedure is divided into the following stages:

The cosmetologist marks places on the skin for further administration of Dysport. Disinfects the patient's skin.

The administration is carried out using a thin needle and only with a pre-calculated dosage.

IMPORTANT! How many dysport units are needed for different zones:

• horizontal forehead folds: 40-60 units;
• eyebrow fold: 40-80 units;
• "crow's feet": up to 40 units;
• lifting the corners of the mouth: up to 30 units;
• upper lip wrinkles: up to 20 units;

The procedure does not require anesthesia; specialists only use a cold compress.

At the end, this compress is removed, and the patient can go home.

1 session takes from 30 to 60 minutes. Repeated injections can be done no earlier than after 3-4 months.

How should you behave after the introduction of Dysport?

The doctor will announce all recommendations immediately after the procedure.

Here are some of them:

1. It is important to be in an upright position for 3-4 hours.
2. IT IS PROHIBITED to massage or touch the area where the drug was injected.
3. The injection site can be cooled with ice for 15-20 minutes.
4. Move the muscles in the area where the drug was injected immediately after the procedure for 30 minutes.
5. Do not visit baths and saunas for 2 weeks.

• Can I drink alcohol after Dysport?

No, this is prohibited for 2 weeks. The fact is that any alcoholic drink “turns off” the effect of the drug, so if you perform the procedure and then decide to drink, you can assume that everything was in vain.

How is Dysport different from Botox?

Both drugs contain botulinum toxin; it turns out that Dysport and Botox are identical, but there are still differences.

The manufacturer of Botox is America, and Dysport is made in France.

Dysport has a smaller molecular weight than Botox.

Each drug contains a different concentration of botulinum toxin. For example, there is 2.5 times less of it in Dysport than in Botox. Again, Botox is more expensive than Dysport, but less of the former is needed to carry out a particular procedure.

When should you start getting beauty injections?

It all depends on age, and everyone has their own characteristics.

I would divide it into 3 categories:

• 20-25 years. At this age, the skin does not need injections, but only high-quality cleansing and moisturizing. There may be problems with acne, but in order to get rid of them, there are different solutions, but not injections.
• 25-30 years old. You can now begin to prevent aging, which is always associated with a lack of hyaluronic acid. With age, the skin becomes less elastic, the oval of the face may even “swim”, and the level of elasticity decreases. Therefore, injection cosmetology will come to the rescue.
• 35+ years. Skin tone decreases and the skin gradually loses elasticity. More and more wrinkles appear at the corners of the eyes. And you can fill them with Dysport or Botox.
• Is it possible to get beauty injections in the summer?

Many people think that it is not, but in fact it is possible. In the summer, injections with botulinum toxin help prevent squinting from the bright sun, which usually causes wrinkles to appear in different areas of the face.

By the way, if you get beauty injections at the beginning of summer, you can forget about excessive sweating throughout the hot season and feel comfortable.

Contraindications to the use of Dysport

Dysport injections have a number of contraindications, including:

• individual intolerance to the ingredients included in the drug
• pregnancy and lactation
• inflammatory process in the area of ​​the proposed injection
• somatic diseases in the period of exacerbation or in the stage of decompensation
• conditions accompanied by fever
• myasthenic and myasthenic-like syndromes (including Lambert-Eaton syndrome)

• pronounced “hernias” in the upper eyelids
• high degree of myopia (according to the opinion of an ophthalmologist)
• taking certain pharmacological drugs (antibiotics, anticoagulants, antiplatelet agents, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, etc.)

The drug is indicated for patients aged 18 to 45 years. Upon reaching the age of 45, the question of the rationality of using Dysport is decided individually by a dermatocosmetologist.

Botox price

Our price for Botox is average - not overpriced, as in some places, but not too low either - we use only high-quality and proven materials!

Your doctor will tell you the exact cost during your consultation - everyone is different and everyone needs a certain amount of the drug. On average, the price for facial Botox can range from 3,500 to 10,000 rubles.

The effect of the procedure lasts approximately 6-8 months. That is, for only 20 rubles. per day you will get rid of wrinkles that make you look older and give your face a gloomy and dull expression.

Video Dysport:

Before performing the procedure, the dermatocosmetologist at the Ego Estetic clinic collects a detailed medical history of the patient’s health in order to identify possible contraindications. After signing the informed consent and photographic documentation, the patient’s face is examined in an upright position. Then, if necessary, a make-up removal procedure is performed and the skin is treated with an antiseptic solution. An anesthetic cream is applied to the Dysport injection areas. After this, injections are performed. The effect of using the drug becomes noticeable 3-5 days after the procedure and lasts for 12 weeks. After administering Dysport, you must:

How is the procedure done?

First, the doctor determines the areas where Dysport will be injected. If you need to remove wrinkles, the doctor will ask you to tense the desired muscle (squint your eyes, wrinkle your forehead). If the drug is needed to treat excessive sweating, then the procedure itself is preceded by a test with iodine and starch. This determines the area of ​​greatest activity of the sweat glands.

The selected zones are marked with dots - injections will be made there. The injections are made with the thinnest needles, so they are usually easily tolerated by patients. But if necessary and at the request of patients, injection sites can be treated with anesthetic cream.

Recommendations after the procedure

• Be in an upright position for 3-4 hours after the procedure
• Do not touch with your hands or massage the area where the drug is injected.
• Move the muscles in the area where the drug is administered for 30 minutes
• Do not abuse alcohol for the first two weeks after the procedure
• Avoid hot compresses on the injection area, baths and saunas for 1-2 weeks after the procedure
• After 2 weeks, you must come for an examination with a doctor to determine the effectiveness of the procedure and possible additional correction.

Points to remember

Of course, before the procedure it is necessary

get advice from a cosmetologist. This is a fairly serious effect on the facial muscles, so consultation is necessary. Perhaps you have any contraindications for the procedure.

• The procedure should not be performed before age 18. It can be carried out before the age of 18 only if there are any medical indications. In addition, at this age the procedure is not required.
• These injections are mainly a rejuvenation procedure, so most often it is performed for women who are already 30 years old. However, there are always exceptions.
• Beauty injections should not be given to pregnant patients. The components contained in the drug may harm the child. In addition, if you are breastfeeding, injections cannot be given. Substances contained in the drug may pass into breast milk.
• The procedure is not advisable for those people who have poor blood clotting. This is due to the fact that the skin is pierced during the procedure.
• Injections should not be given if you have cancer, if you are taking a variety of medications, if you have inflammatory processes or chronic diseases.

Before starting the procedure, the cosmetologist must check your body’s tolerance to the drug. If intolerance is detected, then injections cannot be given. The body may well experience allergic reactions to this drug.

Dysport: the effect of returning youth

Youth always attracts us with its charm, its strength, its radiance, its desire to live, shine, radiate energy and harmony. We want to be young at heart and strive to maintain a youthful body and appearance.

This is the effect we expect from 'beauty shots'. Not only externally, but also internally.

Finally, when we look at the incredible changes in the mirror, we feel a wave of positivity and happiness, we love ourselves and are confident that we love others.

What are these amazing injections, why do women and men (let’s not hide, they too) all over the world increasingly choose these injections, what effect are they expecting? Let's try to find out what happens in our body after injections and, above all, how quickly and why our appearance changes.

Let's warn you right away: Dysport and Botox are drugs that do not have an immediate desired effect, but a long-lasting one. For this we appreciate them. Although you will see the first changes in a few hours.

To understand why this happens, we will learn together what Dysport is, after which the effect becomes visible and why Botox and Dysport injections should only be done in designated clinics and by qualified professionals.

Several decades ago, interesting side effects were discovered with botulinum toxin, which is the basis of Dysport. Doctors noticed that the substance in small quantities “freezes” the muscles and simply paralyzes them.

Changes in muscle fibers make the skin smooth, effectively tightened, wrinkles quickly disappear when they are smoothed out, and the face itself relaxes pleasantly.

In the past, the properties of botulinum toxin have been used to work on muscle tone, correct cosmetic blemishes, and combat excessive sweating in the armpits, legs, and palms.

In cosmetology and aesthetic medicine, a variant of the toxin was used, which was subjected to a special purification technique. We are used to viewing toxins as poisons, but in minimal quantities and using certain components, such toxins become an excellent tool for beautiful transformation.

This is how 'Botox' and 'Sport' were created. The effect of both was quickly appreciated by women who actively took care of themselves and tried to restore youth to their skin or maintain it for as long as possible.

Many of them breathed a sigh of relief when everyone thought about being young and charming for as long as possible without plastic surgery.

Wide range of compositions. What to choose?

Before the drugs entered the wider market, experts meticulously checked Botox and dispensaries. How long the effect lasts and what it does became clear after a detailed study of the properties of botulinum toxin and analysis of the results. However, it took more than a year.

The history of compositions, the search for ideal components, testing side effects and effects on various skin types - the toxin has come a long way to become the main trump card of modern cosmetology from a nerve toxin (it is no coincidence that during World War II it was even considered a component of bacteriological weapons).

The terms 'sports' and 'Botox' have many analogies. For example, 'Lantox' and 'Xeomin'. They are based on botulinum toxin type A (there is also B).

They affect the release of acetylcholine in our body and significantly slow down and reduce this process. This is an organic compound responsible for neuromuscular activity.

This is basically the main answer to why Botox and Dysport became popular and how long the effects last.

Dysport: when does the effect occur and how long does it last?

If we decide to have Botox or a sports injection, we expect immediate results (although we are warned that our face will change later). Therefore, when after the procedure we look at ourselves in the mirror, we feel a little disappointed: why am I not young yet? We learn how the medicine works, when we can judge the final result and how we can 'get the most' out of the procedure.

Disport is a drug whose main component is botulinum toxin. The substance has a paralyzing effect on muscle fibers. After injections, the face relaxes and facial wrinkles are smoothed out. The purified toxin is injected into the forehead, intermediate eyebrows, corners of the eyes, lips and armpits.

Exposure time

During the consultation, the doctor explains what effect can be achieved using the procedure, when the final result is visible.

First hours

The procedure is effective as soon as it is carried out under the skin. The woman feels numb and sees a small swelling. This reaction is considered normal. Symptoms disappear on their own within 2-3 hours.

Redness, pain, thickening at the injection site indicate a medical error or intolerance to the components.

In this case, the cosmetologist provides first aid to avoid serious side effects.

First days

The effects of Disport often occur within 24-48 hours. At this time, the tumor decreases and the woman feels the first result. If she is dissatisfied with her appearance (noticeable wrinkles, asymmetry, facial mobility), she should consult a doctor again. If the reason is insufficient injection, the cosmetologist may add several units of the product.

Final result

After 10-14 days the maximum effect will be visible. By this time, all side effects should have subsided. In addition, after a week the woman stops “smoking” and gets used to a calm expression.

Increased sweating also stops 6-7 days after the injection. Medical errors can no longer be corrected. The only way out is to wait 6-7 months until the drug is completely eliminated from the body.
