How does Dysport work: what can and cannot be done before and after injections?

Dysport is a drug based on botulinum toxin A (Clostridium botulinum A). When injected, it locally reduces muscle mobility, causing them to relax. Manufactured by the British company Ipsen Products, certified in Russia for use in cosmetology and the treatment of spastic conditions of peripheral muscle groups.

Dysport injections are called beauty injections, as they are used to eliminate facial wrinkles - the muscle relaxant eliminates the cause of the appearance of wrinkles on the skin; over time, a habit is formed of not using this muscle group, which serves to prevent the formation of new wrinkles. Injections are also used to treat hyperhidrosis - botulinum toxin blocks the transmission of commands from the nervous system to the sweat glands, as a result, sweating becomes less intense.

Principle of action and description of the drug

The active component of Dysport is a protein group toxin, a waste product of the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. This is a potent organic poison that leads to local paralysis due to its effect on the nervous system. The toxin destroys the fibers through which signals are transmitted from the brain centers to the muscles.

After the injections, the muscles in problem areas stop compressing the skin. The relief formed due to active facial expressions is restored, the skin becomes smooth.

Local intramuscular injections in micro doses have a reversible effect - nerve structures are gradually restored, muscle activity returns. The effect of Dysport injections during initial use lasts up to six months; with repeated use, the effect lasts up to nine months.

Dysport is available in powder form for injection. Dosage of botulinum toxin type A - hemagglutinin 300 and 500 units. After dilution, the concentration of the toxin in both cases is 200 units per 1 milliliter. Additional substances in the composition are human albumin (helps restore tissue structure and improve their nutrition) and lactose to obtain a solution.

The drug is stored at a temperature of 2 to 8 ° C; after opening the bottle, Dysport is suitable for use for 8 hours. The product is not sold in pharmacy chains; it is distributed only to medical institutions.

Why we recommend Dysport

In fact, both drugs have their advantages and their admirers. Who decides which composition is right for you?

Much has already been studied and written about the difference between Botox and Dysport. The effect is similar. The first drug is produced by an American company, the second is produced by a French company (made in France and the UK). Dysport contains lactose, and Botox contains sodium chloride. Dysport contains less botulinum toxin. Additional substances are auxiliary components, like human albumin. To give you an idea, Lantox is the result of the work of the Chinese and Germans. According to experts, they give results that last less than the duration of exposure.

Restrictions and contraindications

Before Dysport injections, you must consult with a specialist who will give an opinion on the use of the drug and conduct tests to identify existing diseases and pathologies of the body. This is necessary in order to make a decision about using the drug.

Relative contraindications include:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding period.
• Exacerbation of chronic diseases, acute diseases.
• Skin lesions in the area of ​​drug administration.

Absolute contraindications:

• Allergic reactions to the components of the drug.
• Some cardiovascular pathologies.
• Autoimmune neuromuscular diseases.
• Respiratory failure.
• Swallowing dysfunction.
• Some endocrine diseases.

Botulinum toxin injections are most effective for facial wrinkles. After 35 years, age-related changes in the structure of the skin begin, the intensity of collagen production decreases, tissue microcirculation worsens, and regenerative processes slow down. To combat natural changes, it is recommended to combine Dysport with anti-aging drugs.

Indications for the drug Dysport®

• blepharospasm, hemifacial spasm, spasmodic torticollis, spasticity of the arm muscles after a stroke, hyperkinetic folds (expression wrinkles) of the face in adults;
• dynamic foot deformity caused by spasticity in cerebral palsy in children aged 2 years and older;
• hyperhidrosis of the axillary region.

How does the procedure work?

Injections do not cause intense pain in most patients; anesthesia is not used for injections.

• The cosmetologist marks out places for the injection of Dysport and disinfects the skin.
• The drug is administered with a thin needle in a calculated dosage.
• A cold compress is applied to the injection area.
• After removing the compress, the patient is allowed to go home.

The first effect becomes noticeable within three days. The pronounced result is visible within one and a half to two weeks from the moment of the procedure.

Recommendations before Dysport injections

Our main recommendation is to carry out manipulations in a specialized clinic. A reliable clinic is a guarantee of safety and effect. This strict rule applies to all serious cosmetic procedures, especially those involving injections. During your consultation, a specialist will examine your skin and tell you about the procedure. His task is to tell you in as much detail as possible about the nuances of Dysport and how long it takes to see the effect. Reviews from our patients and everyone who has tried the miraculous injections speak of a variety of positive changes. After injections:

• skin condition improves, fine wrinkles disappear;
• large ones are noticeably smoothed out;
• you look younger and fresher;
• skin turgor is strengthened,
• facial contours are noticeably tightened;
• the smile changes.

All this once again proves that the effect extends not only to the injection area, but also affects neighboring muscles, since Dysport blocks nerve impulses. Injections in the eye area require special care from a specialist. Dysport allows you to preserve the elasticity of the upper eyelid, but in this case the qualifications and professionalism of the cosmetologist are of great importance, since this area requires increased attention. A cosmetologist who has experience in competently carrying out the procedure and understands the nuances will accurately determine the injection site, measure the amount of the injected drug and the number of injections. A few injections are enough to introduce the toxin. The manipulations will take a few minutes to completely relax the muscle processes.

About the advantages

Photos after Dysport injections demonstrate all the visual anti-aging effects. But I would like to separately mention the unobvious advantages of the drug.

• noticeable effect: appears quickly, lasts a long time;
• using the drug in compliance with all the rules of the procedure, strictly according to the instructions, guarantees safety and the absence of negative effects on health;
• almost painless (can be numbed), the needle is thin;
• price;
• There is no feeling of a hardened mask on the face, you can express emotions through facial expressions.

But you should not abuse the latter advantage in order to prolong the effect of Dysport injections. We recommend saving a photo of the packaging of the composition so that you can show it to a specialist before a repeat series of sessions, in case you do injections in another clinic.

We want to maintain skin tone for as long as possible. This is facilitated by both basic procedures and care, as well as maintaining the effect after Dysport injections. Don't forget to cleanse your skin, remove oil and dust that covers your face during the day, and remove makeup. Try to moisturize it regularly, do massages and masks. By the way, “Dysport” can be combined with other procedures, then the result will please you much longer. For example, you can inject fillers and do biorevitalization. But not earlier than in 2 weeks.

Possible side effects

In the first 1-2 days after injections, the following may occur:

• Slight swelling, redness, small hematomas around the needle wound.
• Feeling of lethargy, muscle weakness in the treated area.
• Weakness, dizziness, headache.

These symptoms are a reaction to the drug, go away on their own, and do not require seeking help.

If, after using Dysport, severe muscle weakness in the body, allergic reactions, or other symptoms are observed, you should consult a doctor.

What is facial dysport? Answers from a cosmetologist

Dysport - what is it?

Over the years, the production of collagen and elastin in the skin slows down - the face loses its elasticity. Expression wrinkles are formed naturally from emotions when muscles contract and pull back the skin. Before the age of 30, the skin is quite elastic, so wrinkles are eliminated quickly. But over the years, skin tone decreases, wrinkles appear on the face, which cannot be smoothed out without the help of a cosmetologist.

Bad habits and the environment have a negative impact on the skin - constant lack of sleep, frequent exposure to aggressive sun, temperature changes, stress, exhausting diets, etc. While it is still possible to protect yourself from external factors, the natural aging process cannot be stopped without professional help.

Dysport for injection is on the lips of many today. The drug is used to eliminate facial wrinkles, correct the shape of the face, and treat hyperhidrosis.

Dysport facial injection is an anti-aging skin product that really works. Dysport injections can maintain a toned face, preserving a woman’s attractiveness for many years.

Injections (shots) Dysport in cosmetology - what is it?

“What are Dysport injections?” - a question that interests many women over 30. The drug Dysport is obtained from the bacteria that cause botulism. The main property of Dysport is the ability to block the transmission of nerve impulses from the brain to the muscles.

Where is Dysport injected?

Injection of the drug Dysport is used for several areas:

• Lower face area. Injections help correct the shape of the face, eliminate wrinkles, promote the formation of elastic skin, and lift the corners of the lips. Dysport injections into the nasolabial folds smooth out wrinkles.
• Forehead. Injections smooth out frontal wrinkles and eliminate folds of medium depth by 100%. The effect of Dysport injection on the forehead increases with each procedure. Experts recommend repeating injections every six months.
• Corners of the eyes. Dysport injections eliminate a network of fine wrinkles. Dysport injections around the eyes block the muscles, as a result, crow's feet will not appear. With the help of injections you can remove wrinkles on the upper eyelids.
• Brows. Dysport injections into the eyebrow area allow you to forget about vertical wrinkles and correct the shape of your eyebrows.
• Nose. Injections of botulinum toxin Dysport are performed in the area of ​​the folds on the back of the nose and bridge of the nose.
• Chin. The procedure is used to form a clear oval face.
• Neck. Dysport injections eliminate age-related wrinkles.

What is Dysport made from?

Dysport facial injection is essentially a toxin that is naturally produced by botulism bacteria. But negative consequences are possible only when the human body is exposed to high concentrations of poison.

In small doses, botulinum toxin becomes a medicine. Small injections of the toxin, which are used in cosmetology, are not able to pass through the barrier between the circulatory system and the brain, and have an effect directly in the injection area.

Don't be afraid of Dysport injections. Botulism neurotoxin undergoes thorough purification and dose adjustment before being introduced into the body. Dysport beauty injection is an absolutely safe and harmless product. The drug is certified in 120 countries and has been successfully used for more than 15 years.

How do Dysport injections work?

Dysport rejuvenation injections break the nerve chain, stopping the impulse on its way to the muscles. The muscles temporarily relax and the fibers stop reacting and excessively tightening the skin. As a result, even deep folds disappear.

Botulinum toxin is able to block the signals that the brain sends to the muscles. Therefore, after the injection, even those facial muscles that are always tense relax. Injections of the drug Dysport, by interrupting the chain of transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles, smooth the skin and give it elasticity.

The weakened toxin acts directly on the muscles and not on the superficial layers of the skin. As a result, the effect of Dysport injections is more noticeable than the effectiveness of other cosmetic products.

Dysport injections are used not only in cosmetology, but also for the treatment of strabismus, neurological diseases, headaches, etc.

Dysport anti-wrinkle injections can do a lot:

• correction of face shape, elimination of asymmetry;
• elimination of increased sweating;
• removal of muscles from hypertonicity after a stroke.

Dysport injections are a harmless and painless procedure that guarantees long-term results.

In what cases is Dysport harmful?

Many people are interested in an important question: are there any contraindications to Dysport injections?

Although the procedure is completely safe, there are a number of restrictions on Dysport injections:

• bleeding disorder
• inflammation in the future injection area
• taking antibiotics, anticoagulants
• pregnancy
• age under 12 and over 65 years

When going to a cosmetologist for a procedure, you need to understand what Dysport is and what contraindications it has. Therefore, before the procedure, you should definitely notify your cosmetologist about the presence of the listed restrictions and allergies.

How is Dysport different from Botox?

Botox and Dysport are beauty injections that are successfully used in cosmetology.

These drugs are designed to combat expression lines. But there are differences in their composition and operating principle.

Botox was developed back in the 80s in America. With its advent, a whole era of cosmetic procedures based on botulinum toxin began. A little later, French doctors released an analogue of Botox - Dysport.

Botox and Dysport injections are based on the same active ingredient – ​​botulinum toxin. The main difference between the drugs is the use of different proteins that deliver the toxin to the muscle fibers. But there are other differences:

• Dysport contains approximately 3 times fewer toxin units than Botox.
• The effect of the Dysport facial injection is noticeable already 2-3 days after the injection, while Botox manifests itself only on 4-7 days. But in the end, these drugs act for the long term - they have a long-lasting effect.
• Dysport has a higher ability to penetrate tissue.

Injection Dysport or Botox – the choice is up to the cosmetologist. The effectiveness of the drugs depends on the individual characteristics of the skin.

Preparation and rehabilitation

Injections require little preparation:

• You should not drink alcohol the day before.
• On the day of the procedure, you must limit your mobility, do not make sudden movements, or bend over.

After injections:

• Do not take a horizontal position for several hours.
• Avoid sudden temperature changes.
• Don't exercise for a few days.
• Avoid stress on the heart.
• Avoid drinking alcohol for two weeks.

There is no effect from the administration of Dysport.

Causes:

• resistance to botulinum toxin type A. This group includes patients with a history of tetanus or other cross-diseases, as well as genetic insensitivity to this group of drugs. Further actions: increase the dose. If the effect is not achieved, then use other correction methods.
• antibiotic therapy during the botulinum therapy procedure. Further actions: repeat the procedure two weeks after antibiotic therapy.
• Resistance due to frequent injections or small doses You should not inject Dysport more than once every 4-6 months. When small doses are administered, a vaccination effect and “addiction” to the drug occurs. Further actions: you can do the procedure 6 months later, at least after complete restoration of facial activity.

At the Academy VIP clinic in Nizhny Novgorod, procedures with Dysport are performed by cosmetologists of the highest category with more than 15 years of experience. In a multidisciplinary medical center, the patient can undergo a comprehensive examination to identify contraindications and receive recommendations on additional ways to improve skin texture.

• We work only with certified original Dysport. The effectiveness and safety of the procedure depends on this.
• The clinic complies with the storage conditions for the drug. If the temperature is not observed, use of Dysport is prohibited. We strictly comply with the manufacturer's requirements.
• We do not use an opened bottle for longer than the permissible period. The health of patients is our priority. We do everything to minimize the likelihood of complications.
• The clinic has all the conditions to provide assistance in case of an allergic reaction or other side effect.

What problems does dysport solve?

The skin on the face is directly connected to the underlying muscles. Therefore, during facial expressions, wrinkles form in the forehead, bridge of the nose and eyes. When facial muscles are blocked, the skin is able to completely smooth out, while folds and wrinkles disappear. Dysport eliminates facial wrinkles, but does not have a lifting effect; it is not able to eliminate excess skin. Only surgical lifting can do this. This issue is especially relevant for patients who believe that the later they start taking injections, the better. Indications for Dysport: wrinkles on the forehead, in the bridge of the nose, around the eyes and lips, correction of the shape of the eyebrows and treatment of hyperhidrosis.
