Dysport is used to treat wrinkles on the upper regions of the face and forehead. When injected, the product temporarily relaxes facial muscles, allowing wrinkles to flatten out.
Cosmetic Treatments With Dysport
During treatment with Dysport in Philadelphia, Dr. Rosen may be able to reduce the appearance of your frown lines, glabellar lines, forehead lines, or crow’s feet.The Dysport Procedure
Your medical history is evaluated before treatment. Those who are over 65, pregnant, breastfeeding, or sensitive to ingredients in Dysport may be advised to forego treatment.
Dr. Rosen carefully chooses the proper points of injection, identifying the muscles that contract and cause prominent wrinkles to appear. A proper dose is chosen and Dysport is injected into small facial muscles. The product blocks a chemical signal from the nerves to the muscles, creating a temporary paralysis that allows wrinkles to flatten out. For your comfort, topical anesthetic is an option. Many patients do not need it. Total treatment time with Dysport is only about 15 minutes.
