Botulinum Toxin (Dysport)

What is Dysport ® ?

• Natural purified protein.
• They relax wrinkle-causing muscles.
• They create a smoothed, rejuvenated appearance.

Botulinum toxin (produced commercially as Dysport ®) is a purified form of a specific neuromuscular blocking agent. It acts by stopping the signal from the nerve to the muscle, thereby preventing the muscle from contracting.

When used very carefully, this can minimise the appearance of furrows and wrinkles, particularly on the forehead and between the eyebrows. Dysport ® can also be used for other applications, for example sweating under the armpits or for certain neuro muscular disorders.

Over time and due to the effects of ageing, such as sun exposure, frowning, squinting and smiling, lines begin to form in different areas of your face.

Non-surgical treatments can be used on the face area to help create volume, resulting in a healthy appearance. When applied to the lip area it can restore a more natural and sensuous look.
