What is Dysport and what can NYC patients expect from treatment?

Deep folds and lines in the face caused by aging skin can be a concern for both men and women. Moderate to severe wrinkles can make a patient self-conscious about their appearance. When addressed with an injectable such as Dysport, patients may be able to restore their self-esteem and enjoy the benefits of a more youthful look.

Dysport is an injectable treatment made from botulism toxin type A. This medication can paralyze specific muscles of the face. When injected, it keeps these muscles from contracting and can result in the smoothing of skin over these areas. Dysport is not the same as hyaluronic acid dermal fillers. The fillers are gel-like substances that are injected directly into wrinkles and folds to add volume. Although different in nature, they can be used in conjunction with Dysport (or similar products such as Botox) for maximum results.

Dysport treatment is done in the dermatological office in just a few minutes. Patients who have been determined candidates for treatment will schedule a visit with Dr. Shelton for their injections. The specific muscles are targeted and the injection is made. Patients will experience a lessened ability to tighten these muscles. However, when done correctly, the results are extremely natural looking and patients are comfortable with their appearance. Over-injection can cause a very fake appearance to a patient's face.

Dr. Shelton and the team at The New York Aesthetic Consultants provide Dysport and Botox, as well as dermal fillers such as Restylane, Juvéderm, and Belotero to provide patients with several anti-aging options. Patients who want a more non invasive skin tightening treatment may also consider the benefits of ultrasound treatment or radio frequency treatments including Pelleve and Ultherapy for a full-face solution.

Instead of going “under the knife” for a surgical facelift, patients can enjoy injectables such as Dysport to refresh their facial appearance.
