Over time, facial skin movement by the forehead muscles forms lines between the eyebrows. Otherwise known as frown lines, they form due to the way a person’s face moves such as laughing and squinting. Because facial movements form such frown lines, it is no surprise that they develop even in younger adults such as those living in Torrance in Los Angeles, California. But there is a solution to treating such frown lines and other conditions such as wrinkles—Dysport.
Dysport used to treat prominent frown lines in patient*
Dysport which is similar to botox is used to treat moderate to severe frown lines and wrinkles. The muscles in the treated area above and between the eyebrows contract and tighten, causing such wrinkles and frown lines. With just one injection of the abobotulinumtoxinA treatment into each of the five points between and over the eyebrows, Like Botox, Dysport is able to block the nerve signal that causes these facial muscles to contract. The result is a localized reduction of muscle activity in the treated area as well as temporarily stopping the tightening of these muscles—all of which help reduce frown lines and wrinkles.
There are a number of benefits to Dysport. When using the product, there is little to no downtime after the injection. In some clinical trials, the majority of patients had frown lines and wrinkles that improved from “severe” to “mild” and in some cases, even “none.” Also, when some of Dr. Umar’s patients in Torrance repeated the treatment, the results were great every time. Like any other medication, there are a few minor side effects to Dysport. Such include nose and throat irritation, sinus inflammation, nausea, eyelid swelling, and other minor side effects. But overall, Dysport serves as one of the best treatments for reducing frown lines and wrinkles for people between the ages of 18 and 65.
