Botox and Dysport are brand names for botulinum toxin type A, a protein produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. This protein has become one of the most effective treatments in plastic surgery for eliminating expression wrinkles.
Botulinum toxin works by selectively relaxing the muscles that cause expression wrinkles. By reducing muscle contraction, the wrinkles are smoothed out, and the skin takes on a more youthful appearance.
The treatment eliminates wrinkles such as:
Forehead wrinkles
Crow’s feet (lines around the eyes)
Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
Smoker’s lines (vertical lines on the upper lip)
Lift action on the face oval and neck
As with any treatment, it is essential to have proper information from a specialized plastic surgeon. The individual should have a clear understanding of the expected results, and any questions or concerns should be addressed.
The application of the protein is done with:
Microscopic injections into specific muscles
Use of a very small needle, causing minimal discomfort
Duration: The procedure takes about 8-10 minutes and is performed by an experienced doctor.
The first results are visible in 4-5 days and gradually improve.
The effects of Botox/Dysport last for approximately 3-6 months, depending on the problem, the patient's body, and lifestyle habits.
Besides aesthetic rejuvenation, Botox/Dysport is also applied for:
Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating)
Migraine treatment
The treatment is safe and has been successfully used in millions of patients worldwide, with extensive studies supporting its effectiveness and safety.
Botox and Dysport are suitable for both men and women who wish to achieve a more youthful, rested appearance.
