Because your Skin deserves the best care
Facial Aesthetics (Botox/ Dysport)
A combination of factors can cause facial lines. It is not just about the cellular changes that may occur, or reduction of collagen, or damage caused by free radicals from the sun and the environment. Repeated muscle contractions from frowning, squinting, or raising eyebrows cause skin to furrow and fold, gradually resulting in the formation of facial lines. Botox/ Dysport works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces the underlying muscle activity that causes moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet and forehead lines in adults – to help them look visibly smoother.
What is Dysport? How does it work?
There are eight different types of botulinum toxin produced by C. botulinum; A, B, C1, C2, D, E, F and G. All work by blocking the release of acetylcholine, one of the most significant neurotransmitters in our body. Acetylcholine activates muscles, so blocking it causes muscle relaxation and paralysis.
Injections enable the botulinum toxin to be targeted directly into specific muscles. There it has a direct effect on acetylcholine in the nerve synapses, preventing signals that would normally cause the muscle to contract.
Type A is the most potent and longest lasting, followed by types B and F. Currently, preparations containing Type A and B are commercially available. Effects are usually seen within 24-72 hours and peak around ten days. Effects last about two to three months or until new nerve terminals sprout and form new synaptic.
Dysport is a muscle relaxant produced by Clostridium botulinum bacteria. It acts on the junctions between the nerves and muscles, preventing the release of one of the chemical messengers called acetylcholine from the nerve endings that would normally cause the muscle to contract. If the messenger is prevented from being released this results in a weakened muscle and helps to reduce some of the abnormal muscle contractions.
Cosmetically, botulinum toxins smooth out lines, creases, and wrinkles on the face, chin, neck and chest. They temporarily improve the look of forehead lines, crow’s feet and frown (glabella) lines between the eyebrows in adults.
Improvement is usually seen within 24 to 48 hours and effects can last up to 4 months. Several other types of spastic movement disorders and some other long-term conditions not effectively treated by other types of medical treatment also have reported success with botulinum toxins. The medical uses for botulinum toxins are likely to expand in the future.

Patient with coagulation disorders or those on anticoagulant therapy must be treated cautiously due to the greater risk of bruising. Patients with pre-existing eyelid or brow ptosis should be treated with caution.
