Are you tired of looking tired? Defy your age and turn back the hands of time with Dysport® in Little Rock. Dysport® is a great alternative injectable to Botox® and commonly used to temporarily reduce frown lines, such as at Doctors MedSpa, a Little Rock med spa that specializes in innovative anti-aging technology.
What Is Dysport®?
Dysport® is a prescription injection used to temporarily treat moderate to severe frown lines, also called glabellar lines. It’s a type of neurotoxin (abobotulinumtoxinA) that works as an acetylcholine release inhibitor and a neuromuscular blocking agent. This means that it can temporarily prevent the muscle movements that cause frown lines.
Dysport® has been administered in countries other than the United States since 1991 and was first approved for aesthetic use in 2001. Here, it was approved for aesthetic use in 2009.
How Does Dysport® in Little Rock Work?
Receiving a treatment of Dysport® in Little Rock involves just one injection into a handful of specific points between or above the eyebrows. This injection blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles, causing them to temporarily reduce muscle activity or contraction that causes frown lines. Dysport® comes in the form of a sterile, single-use 300-unit vial.
One dose of Dysport® in Little Rock amounts to a total of 50 units injected equally into the muscles that cause glabellar lines (frown lines between your eyebrows). It can only be administered by a licensed healthcare professional, and is a quick procedure that lasts just about 10 to 20 minutes for an office visit.
Am I a Good Candidate for Dysport®?
The use of Dysport® is recommended for adults less than 65 years of age. As with any cosmetic treatment or use of a neurotoxin, side effects may occur. People who are allergic to cow’s milk protein or who have had adverse reactions to Botox® should not have a Dysport® treatment in Little Rock, nor should women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
