How does Dysport work?
Dysport works by using botulinum toxin type A to temporarily block the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for signaling muscle contractions. When acetylcholine is inhibited , the targeted muscles are unable to contract as strongly. This relaxation of the muscle reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, particularly those caused by repetitive facial movements, such as frown lines between the eyebrows. .
Technique Used
The technique for administering Dysport injections involves several key steps to ensure precision and patient comfort.
1.Skin preparation: The skin is cleansed with an antiseptic solution to reduce the risk of infections.
2.Ideficiation of Injections Site: Our Nurse Practitioner will assess the areas to be treated, often asking the patient to make facial expressions to better identify the muscle movements and determine the precise injection sites.
3.Injection Technique: Using a fine gauge needle the provider injects small amounts of Dysport in the targeted muscles.
