As we age, our facial expressions begin to etch permanent creases on our faces. Most commonly, we see the effects of smiling around the eyes and mouth (crow’s feet and marionette lines). But, other repeated expressions also lead to the appearance of wrinkles like frowning, scowling, and squinting. These movements of the face cause what we call the “11’s” or the “11 lines. Typically these appear by the time you’re in your 40s, although lifestyle contributes significantly to onset and severity. At Spa V, we have been using Dysport to treat these lines with great success. Find out more about Dysport for frown lines below.
What Is Dysport?
Dysport is an injectable, neuromodulator treatment (like Botox) that is derived from botulinum toxin. It is FDA approved for the treatment of fine lines and wrinkles like frown lines. Our clients love Dysport because it still preserves the natural movement of the face. Generally, the results last 3-6 months with significant improvement in the severity of deep creases.
How Does Dysport Work To Smooth Frown Lines?
Similarly to Botox, Dysport works by blocking nerve signals to the muscle. As a result, deep wrinkles are relaxed and the skin appears smoother and more youthful. Dysport is especially effective for severe creasing because of the formulation, which is more dilute than Botox. This allows it to diffuse into larger areas, like the forehead. While Botox is the treatment of choice for fine lines, Dysport is designed to reduce the appearance of stubborn set-in creases like the 11’s.
