Botulinum Therapy (Dysport)

Dysport: the principle of action

Wrinkles and creases appear in places where facial muscles contract. A botulinum toxin drug blocks the release of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine in the muscles that leads to a weakening of muscle strength and eliminates the cause of skin creases. During the period of action of botulinum toxin (6-8 months) the skin is regenerated and rejuvenated, due to which all the fine lines and folds disappear. In the therapy of hyperhidrosis the principle of action is based on the blockade of nerve impulses that trigger the sweat glands, which reduces the sweat secretion.

In what problems is botulinum therapy indicated:

• forehead lines, lines around and under the eyes, lipstick lines, nose wrinkles (bunny lines);
• asymmetry in the shape of the eyebrows;
• drooping corners of the mouth;
• rosacea;
• hyperhidrosis

Just after the procedure, the results are noticeable, but the effect becomes pronounced after 7-14 days. You will notice how the skin becomes flat, smooth and small, medium or even deep wrinkles will be smoothed. The contour of your face will become clearer if the oval is corrected.

As we have already said, Dysport is eliminated after 6-8 months, but this indicator is different for each individual. The most effective result is achieved by a combination of injectable, cosmetic and hardware techniques. The specialists of the PRIZMA Medical Center will develop an individual plan of treatment, which will help to maintain a flawless bright appearance for many years.

After the cosmetic dermatologist performs an examination of your current condition and makes the plan of injections, you can proceed directly to the injection of Dysport. Usually, no anesthesia is required, except when injections are used to treat excessive sweating (in this case, local anesthetics are used).

The sites for the injection are treated with antiseptic means. Very thin needles are used for the procedure, so there is practically no pain. The session takes from 7 to 25 minutes (depending on the number of administered units of drug)
