Wrinkles Be Gone with Botox Competitor – Dysport
Dysport is a new anti-wrinkle treatment that is similar to Botox, but is cheaper and is more effective for larger areas, and requires fewer injections for similar effects to Botox. They both have the same active ingredient, so they are similar in that respect and in the injection method of delivery, but the new anti-wrinkle treatment, Dysport was just approved by the FDA in April of this past year.
Few years ago, people turn to Botox as the most effective solution for frown lines and deep facial lines. It was considered the more affordable and accessible anti-aging solution than surgical facelifts. But similar to facelift and cosmetic surgery, Dysport injections require a little downtime to wait for the treatment to take effect. The swelling on the injection site usually takes weeks, but the wait is worth it! The results of the more economical Dysport anti-wrinkle solution deliver results that last up to 6 months
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.
The impossible pricing of Botox and other cosmetic treatment procedures made Dysport a welcome alternative to those who wanted to look good but does not have the insane amount of money to do so. As its way of making anti-aging treatments affordable, Dysport has successfully won the confidence of the consumers by offering reasonably priced anti-wrinkle solutions.
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.
