Initially implicated for medical conditions, Botox injection are widely used for cosmetic purposes. It is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures that softens appearance of the facial fine lines and wrinkles, acts quickly without down time. By injecting precise dose in a very specific point of facial muscle it temporarily blocks the nerve activity, relaxes the muscle, and softens appearance of the lines.
The onset of effect is seen after 3-7 days, and full effect takes place after 14. This effect is temporary and usually lasts up to 6 months. If you’ve already tried Botox and want to try something new, Dysport is a great option that may provide quicker results.
DYSPORT AESTHETIC™ (abobotulinumtoxinA) is approved by Health Canada in October 2018 for the temporary improvement in appearance of moderate to severe laugh lines around the outer edges of the eyes and frown lines.
DYSPORT AESTHETIC™ has been available globally for 25 years and approved based on 11 clinical trials for aesthetic use in 24 countries.
The best way to decide between Dysport and Botox is to meet with our expert team, discuss your skin-care goals and decide which is a better option for you. The most observed adverse reactions in the studies were generally mild to moderate swelling of the eyelid, headache, and injection site reactions (bruising, itching, and swelling).*
Rarely, if it migrates to the upper eyelid, one can experience a slight drooping of the eyelid which corrects itself after a short while.
DYSPORT AESTHETIC™ is contraindicated in patients with infection at the proposed injection site, patients with known allergies to Cow’s milk protein as well as pregnant or lactating women. Caution should be exercised in patients with neuromuscular junction disorders or when excessive weakness or atrophy is present in the target muscle, prolonged bleeding time or in patients using blood thinners.
