If you’re looking for a way to look younger and feel your best again, then Dysport may be the right solution for you. At Reflections Skin & Laser Center in Cartersville, GA, we can help you get the results you want.

Can Dysport Reduce Frown Lines?

Frown lines can significantly affect the way you look. If you have frown lines, you may find yourself looking older than you actually feel. They can also make you look unhappy, concerned, or upset even when you’re relaxed.

If you’re looking for a way to reduce or possibly eliminate your frown lines, then you’ll want to look into Dysport. This injectable is a reliable, long-lasting way to get rid of unwanted wrinkles in the forehead area. With it, you’ll find that you look younger and happier, which in turn will leave you feeling your very best.

What Is Dysport?

If you’re concerned about the appearance of wrinkles on various parts of your face, then there are a few options available for you. You have topical creams, but these may not be effective if your wrinkles are already deep-set. Plus, it can take a long time for them to give you the results you want. You also have surgical options available, but there are a host of drawbacks that come with this route.

Injectables, on the other hand, are fast-acting and extremely effective at reducing the appearance of wrinkles. This particular injectable is a safe way to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles around the forehead area, making your skin look smoother and more supple.

Why Do Wrinkles Form?

If you want to understand how this injectable can help you, then the first thing you need to do is understand why wrinkles form in the first place. Essentially, your skin is made up of proteins. Collagen and elastin are what allow your skin to maintain its structure.

However, as you get older, the amount of collagen and elastin in your skin begins to reduce. This affects the integrity of your skin’s structure, meaning that wrinkles will being to form on your face. One of the common places wrinkles will show up is right between your eyebrows and around the eye and forehead area.

Understanding Dynamic Wrinkles

There are several different types of wrinkles, with one of them being dynamic wrinkles. When you make facial expressions, the skin on top of the muscles moves in sync with the muscles. This makes the skin crease. When you’re young and you still have lots of collagen and elastin present in your skin, it can bounce back easily and smooth out after you make these expressions.

But, as these proteins begin to diminish in your skin, your skin is less able to smooth out when you relax the muscles. So, for example, when you furrow your brow, the skin in between your eyebrows will remain wrinkled even after you relax. This results in frown lines, or the 11-shaped wrinkles that appear right between your eyebrows.

How Is Dysport Made?

This injectable smooths out the lines that appear between your eyebrows. It’s made with an ingredient derived from a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum. This bacterium can be found in forests, lakes, and plants among other sources. From it, you get botulinum toxin type A.

These can be some pretty intimidating-looking words, but don’t worry. This neuromodulator is FDA-approved and completely safe to use.

How Does It Work?

This injectable is a neuromodulator. When it’s injected, it intercepts certain messages that your brain sends to your muscles. These messages are what tell your muscles to contract, and that contraction is what causes the wrinkles on your face.

By stopping these messages from reaching your muscles, the neuromodulator keeps them relaxed which, in turn, keeps the skin in the area smooth.

What Areas Does It Treat?

This injectable has been approved to treat frown lines. This will make you look generally more relaxed, happier, and younger. But this isn’t the only area that it’s able to treat.

Crow’s feet are the fine lines that appear around your eye area when you squint, so-called because of the way they look. Lifting your eyebrows can also cause horizontal lines to appear across your forehead. Both of these types of wrinkles can also be treated with this injectable.

What Are the Benefits?

If you’re looking for a reliable way to get rid of your frown lines or other wrinkles that have appeared around the forehead area, then this injectable is a great way to do that. You’ll find many benefits to getting this treatment.

You’ll Look Younger

But when you get this injectable and smooth out the area, you’ll keep a much more relaxed and easygoing expression.

It’s Safe

Making sure that you’re getting the results you want out of any kind of treatment is important. But safety is also probably one of your main concerns. If you’re worried about the safety of this injectable, there’s no reason to fret.

This treatment is FDA-approved and has been carefully formulated to be both effective and safe. As long as you are not experiencing any skin infections in the area being treated and you have an otherwise clean bill of health, this is a perfectly safe option for you.

It’s Non-Invasive

Surgical options are available if you’re looking to get rid of wrinkles and fine lines. But among the many drawbacks related to surgical procedures, they’re extremely invasive. This may not be safe or feasible for every candidate.

But when you get an injectable like this one, you’ll be getting a non-invasive treatment. That means you won’t need to spend hours under the knife, and you won’t be subjected to the many risks that come along with the surgical process.

When you get a surgical procedure, you need to make sure you factor in the necessary recovery period. This is often a lengthy, uncomfortable, and painful process.

But going with this injectable means that you won’t need to schedule a recovery process. While there are a few rules you’ll need to follow if you want to make sure your treatment is as effective as possible, you’ll be able to leave the clinic right after your treatment is finished and get back to your busy schedule.

The Process Is Fast

Along with having a very fast recovery period, the treatment process itself will be extremely fast. Most appointments will only take between 30 minutes to an hour in total.

Combined with there being zero downtime, this is a great treatment option for those who want to maintain a more youthful appearance but don’t want to have to take hours out of their day to do it.

You can expect to maintain your results for around 3 to 4 months. And the good news is that with each injection, you may be able to wait a little longer until the next one.

It’s Subtle

One of the downsides of getting work done is that it can be very noticeable. With some available treatment options, you may find yourself fielding questions from friends and relatives. This can be embarrassing and stressful.

But when you go with this injectable, you’ll appreciate how subtle the results can be. While you’ll certainly notice a difference in your appearance, it will be natural-looking which will prevent you from having those awkward conversations with people asking what you’ve had done.

How To Prepare for Treatment

Unlike many other treatment options, there’s no long list of things you’ll need to do beforehand to prepare for this injectable. However, if you want to get the best results there are some things you should be aware of.

For the week or so leading up to your appointment, you should stop taking certain medications and supplements. Avoid anything that acts as a blood thinner to prevent potential bruising. You should also stop drinking and smoking for at least 24 hours before your injection.

What Happens During Treatment?

When you visit our clinic, the first thing we’ll do is begin with a consultation. This will help us determine your goals and set realistic expectations. Once your consultation is complete, we’ll be able to prepare you for your treatment.

We will thoroughly clean the area that is being treated. We may also apply a small amount of numbing cream to make your experience even more comfortable. Then, our technicians will use a very fine and precise needle to strategically inject the Dysport. In total, your appointment shouldn’t take longer than an hour.

What Happens After Treatment?

You’ll be able to leave the clinic almost immediately after your injection. Since there’s no downtime, you can get right back to your day.

However, you should be mindful to avoid things like direct sunlight, heat, and anything that might cause you to sweat for the next day or two. Also, avoid poking or prodding at the area for at least 24 hours to prevent the Dysport from moving beyond the desired area.
