Dysport®: Protecting and restoring your timeless beauty with injectable treatment
Many aesthetic service providers in Lanham, Maryland, and the greater Prince George’s, Charles, and Montgomery counties may offer Botox®. However, at Access Medspa Rejuvenate, our founder and board-certified nurse practitioner, Dr. Asongtia Ntonghawah, has invested in numerous options within each treatment category. She offers not only Botox® but also alternative products like Dysport® to protect the skin’s appearance and prevent expression lines from worsening.
How is Dysport® a preventative?
Dysport®, Botox®, and other injectable treatments like it improve the appearance of specific wrinkles. These wrinkles are known as “expression lines.” They are caused by muscle contractions and include crow’s feet around the eyes, frown lines between the eyebrows, and horizontal forehead wrinkles. In youthful skin, these wrinkles are only noticeable during facial movements. As skin loses its elasticity with aging, expression lines become static and may be visible even when your face is not moving. So, as a preventative measure, we can keep your skin nice and smooth by treating it with Dysport® before the aging process degrades the skin’s structural components and makes the lines look worse or more pronounced.
How does Dysport® improve the appearance of existing wrinkles?
Dysport® works by relaxing the muscles associated with the specific expression lines you wish to treat. For instance, we will inject the right dose into the right muscles to soften those vertical “11” lines between the brows.
Is Dysport® right for me?
At Access Medspa Rejuvenate, we offer all of the leading wrinkle-relaxers on the market today. While Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin®, Jeuveau®, and Daxxify® work in generally the same way, each product is formulated in different ways. This can result in subtle nuances that Dr. Ntonghawah and our team understand completely. We start with a consultation that involves reviewing your medical history, carefully examining your face, and discussing your personal goals and preferences. From there, we can provide our treatment recommendations so you can make the most well-informed decision.
What are the benefits of Dysport®?
Our patients like that Dysport® is fast-acting. They may notice improvements in the appearance of their furrows and creases in just two days. Dysport® is also associated with greater coverage than some of its other counterparts due to how it spreads. This makes Dysport® an appropriate option for bigger areas, such as deep horizontal lines on the forehead. The “duration” of results is also favorable compared to other wrinkle-relaxers. The makers of Dysport®, Galderma, report that 100% of participants in a study were satisfied with the results from two treatments each year, spaced six months apart.
Do my results last longer with repeated treatments?
Yes, that’s possible. By maintaining regular “touch-up” injections, we can retrain the muscles that contribute to expression lines. By targeting the muscles in this manner, you may notice that it takes longer for the effects of Dysport® to wear off. Other factors, including how you care for your skin and where Dysport® is injected, can also affect the longevity of your results. We can discuss these considerations and so much more during a consultation.
