Treatments that Can be Combined with Dysport

Dysport has become increasingly common in the United States and around many other parts of the world as a method of reducing wrinkles and lines on the forehead and on other specific parts of the face. This treatment is effective for a period of 3 to 5 months, and people typically begin to see results almost immediately after the injection procedure.

If you're looking to improve the wrinkles on your face, speak with your doctor and dermatologist about the possibility of using Dysport. Here are a few other treatments that are oftentimes used in conjunction with this wrinkle removing procedure.

Botox

Dyport and Botox are almost exactly the same thing. They both rely on the same neurotoxin, botulinum type A, in order to paralyze select muscles in your face that cause wrinkles. Upon injecting these muscles with minute quantities of the toxin, the muscles become taut and are paralyzed in place, which effectively helps to reduce the wrinkles in that area of your face.

The key differences with Botox and Dysport is that Dysport acts much faster than Botox. While Botox may take several days in order to begin seeing results, Dysport oftentimes provides almost immediate wrinkle relief. Botox is also effective over a longer period than Dysport, making Dysport a popular choice amongst people who are looking to improve their wrinkles quickly and for a specific event or function.

Evolence

Evolence is the leading non-invasive treatment of wrinkles and other signs of aging on the face. This treatment is known as a dermal filler, which means that a compound made of various types of collagen is injected directly into parts of the face like the area around the eyes, the nose, the forehead and more. Evolence causes these areas to develop new collagen, invigorating the skin in those areas and promoting healthy growth of new skin cells.

Artefill

Artefill makes use of a bovine collagen based substance to stimulate human collagen growth in particular areas of the face. It is useful for the lips, in particular, but may also be injected into other parts of the face to help improve sagginess and wrinkles. Artefill is a semi-permanent alternative to Botox treatment, and must be reapplied every few months or so.

Hyaluronic Acid

Hyaluronic acid is a naturally occurring acid that's found in parts of the skin. This substance will help to smooth out lines around the jaw, eyes and other parts of the face as well. It's a popular choice for a treatment procedure that can be combined with Dysport because it's very easy to apply and can be done right in the dermatologist's office. Unfortunately, it is not as permanent as many of these other treatments, and the effects only last for around 2 months in most cases.

If you feel that you'd benefit from any of these treatments, schedule an appointment with a dermatologist or a cosmetic surgeon to discuss your options.
