When one is a victim of smile lines and wrinkles, they almost automatically choose Botox treatment. Although there is nothing wrong with doing so, it is important to know that there is an alternative treatment for frown lines and nasolabial folds—Dysport. Many patients, like those living in Torrance of Los Angeles, California, are uninformed about the differences between the two products. In today’s blog, we are going to first learn about what the cause of these frown lines and/or nasolabial folds are and then focus on both of these skin rejuvenation formulas that will help reduce and eliminate those wrinkles and smile lines.
The lines that appear between your brows and/or around your mouth (nasolabial folds) are a result of muscle movement and the passage of time. When powerful muscles between the brows/mouth contract, they draw the brows/mouth together, which causes the skin to fold or burrow. As the skin becomes less elastic with age, those folds and furrows result in stubborn lines. Because these frown lines and nasolabial folds are dynamic lines caused overtime by active muscles, they can be treated with either Botox or Dysport easily.

The main differences between Botox and Dysport lie between their chemical makeup. Botox is purified protein that is made up of Botulium Toxin Type A; whereas Dysport is composed of abobotulinumtoxin A. It is important to know the chemical makeup of both products because before one chooses an injection, they know should if they may be allergic to one and not the other. An allergic reaction to either Bojox or Dysport will leave unpleasant results, as it has done to a few people living in Torrance of Los Angeles, California.
Both Botox and Dysport are perfection solutions for frown lines and nasolabial folds. Botox blocks the release of a chemical that causes these muscles to contract, enabling them to relax. Dysport ideally does the exact same thing—stopping the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles, which causes these wrinkles and smile lines.
