Dysport, 1 piece, 3 ml, 300 units, lyophilisate for solution for injection

Dysport is a drug based on botulinum toxin A (Clostridium botulinum A). When injected, it locally reduces muscle mobility, causing them to relax. Manufactured by the British company Ipsen Products, certified in Russia for use in cosmetology and the treatment of spastic conditions of peripheral muscle groups.

Dysport injections are called beauty injections, as they are used to eliminate facial wrinkles - the muscle relaxant eliminates the cause of the appearance of wrinkles on the skin; over time, a habit is formed of not using this muscle group, which serves to prevent the formation of new wrinkles. Injections are also used to treat hyperhidrosis - botulinum toxin blocks the transmission of commands from the nervous system to the sweat glands, as a result of which sweating becomes less intense.

Principle of action and description of the drug

The active component of Dysport is a protein group toxin, a waste product of the bacteria Clostridium botulinum. This is a potent organic poison that leads to local paralysis due to its effect on the nervous system. The toxin destroys the fibers through which signals are transmitted from the brain centers to the muscles.

After the injections, the muscles in problem areas stop compressing the skin. The relief formed due to active facial expressions is restored, the skin becomes smooth.

Local intramuscular injections in microdoses have a reversible effect - nerve structures are gradually restored, muscle activity returns. The effect of Dysport injections during initial use lasts up to six months; with repeated use, the effect lasts up to nine months.

Dysport is available in powder form for injection. Dosage of botulinum toxin type A - hemagglutinin 300 and 500 units. After dilution, the concentration of the toxin in both cases is 200 units per 1 milliliter. Additional substances in the composition are human albumin (helps restore tissue structure and improve their nutrition) and lactose to obtain a solution.

The drug is stored at a temperature of 2 to 8 ° C; after opening the bottle, Dysport is suitable for use for 8 hours. The product is not sold in pharmacy chains; it is distributed only to medical institutions.

Comparison of the drug with Botox

Comparative characteristics are presented in the table below.

Thus, Dysport® is a safe way to preserve the beauty of the skin, look impressive and young. The injections do not take much time, and the result appears quickly and lasts a long time: a toned, smooth, radiant face without surgery and in just one session.

Restrictions and contraindications

Before Dysport injections, you must consult with a specialist who will give an opinion on the use of the drug and conduct tests to identify existing diseases and pathologies of the body.
This is necessary in order to make a decision about using the drug. Relative contraindications include:

• Pregnancy and breastfeeding period.
• Exacerbation of chronic diseases, acute diseases.
• Skin lesions in the area of ​​drug administration.

Absolute contraindications:

• Allergic reactions to the components of the drug.
• Some cardiovascular pathologies.
• Autoimmune neuromuscular diseases.

• Some endocrine diseases.

Botulinum toxin injections are most effective for facial wrinkles. After 35 years, age-related changes in the structure of the skin begin, the intensity of collagen production decreases, tissue microcirculation worsens, and regenerative processes slow down. To combat natural changes, it is recommended to combine Dysport with anti-aging drugs.

Dysport - what is it? When to give beauty injections

At a young age, the skin is elastic and elastic, it contains a lot of moisture and beneficial components a priori. Over time, it is necessary to help the tissue remain in good shape: creams, masks, serums, peelings, massages - cosmetology offers many products. One of them is Dysport.

Let's look at Dysport in detail: what it is, how it works, what it consists of, at what age you can inject it, and are there any contraindications.

Dysport is an anti-aging product that does not harm your health.

• smoothes expression wrinkles
• eliminates deep wrinkles
• corrects the shape of the lips

The drug enters the tissue and blocks the action of acetylcholine, which causes muscles to contract. Due to this, the muscles are slightly paralyzed for a while, and the transmission of nerve impulses to the muscles is suppressed. The superficial parts of the muscle fibers stop reacting and tighten the skin. And accordingly, wrinkles disappear.

This is not harmful because Dysport is based on botulinum toxin, a drug obtained from bacteria. The drug has undergone clinical trials in 120 countries and has been used in Belarus for more than 15 years.

At what age should beauty injections be given?

From 28 to 35 years old is the average age when cosmetologists recommend starting to inject Dysport. During this period, the first signs of aging appear: the skin loses its elasticity, and as a result, wrinkles progress. The most popular areas for treatment in women at this age are in the upper part of the face: “between the eyebrows,” “crow’s feet,” and forehead.

But you can also experience expression lines at a younger age if you have a genetic predisposition or severe mobility of the facial muscles. In this case, resorting to beauty injections earlier is not prohibited. Consult a qualified doctor in Lesante for free, as each case is individual.

After the age of 35, you can use Dysport, although the courses will be more intense. We prick the neck, the back of the palms, the chin, “puppet lines.”

Answers to common questions

What medications is it incompatible with?

First of all, the drug cannot be combined with antibiotics, since with simultaneous use there is an increase in the effect of the latter. As a result, the muscles relax, asthenia develops, and the effectiveness of the anti-aging agent is significantly reduced.

Macrolides, tetracyclines and aminoglycosides are considered particularly dangerous in this category. You need to remember that taking antibiotics after a cosmetic procedure is prohibited for 14 days.

It was found that Dysport is incompatible with B vitamins, which also significantly shorten the duration of the resulting anti-aging effect.

Doctors do not recommend taking painkillers, antihistamines and medications that negatively affect blood clotting parameters for 2 weeks.

Is Dysport dangerous?

Initially, botulinum toxin was used to treat spastic muscle conditions in infants, including spasmodic torticollis and severe blepharospasm. Then they began to treat migraine headaches with its help. And when it is injected into the facial muscles, they relax, which is not a harmful effect. On the contrary, during the immobilization of the muscles, the skin will be able to recover and synthesize the necessary components within itself.

Important!

Botulinum toxin does not make the face a “mask”. Facial expressions are preserved, wrinkles simply cease to appear.

Mechanism of action of Dysport

Dysport injections in cosmetology are due to the drug’s ability to relax facial muscles. By blocking neuromuscular transmission, wrinkles caused by the contraction of certain muscles are smoothed out. The procedure is reversible; muscles and nerve fibers are not affected during the procedure, and after 4-6 months the process is restored. With each new administration of Dysport, the result of the procedure is prolonged.

The effect of the drug to reduce the tone of facial muscles is most effective at 35-45 years of age. At a later age, Dysport injections become irrelevant.

The Dysport injection procedure is also used in the treatment of hyperhidrosis. Blocking neuromuscular transmission causes the sweat gland to significantly reduce its secretion. However, given that the process of sweating is an important part in maintaining the body’s water-salt balance and freeing it from decay products, specialists are very attentive to the need to carry out such a procedure.

What problems does dysport solve?

The skin on the face is directly connected to the underlying muscles. Therefore, during facial expressions, wrinkles form in the forehead, bridge of the nose and eyes. When facial muscles are blocked, the skin is able to completely smooth out, while folds and wrinkles disappear. Dysport eliminates facial wrinkles, but does not have a lifting effect; it is not able to eliminate excess skin. Only surgical lifting can do this. This issue is especially relevant for patients who believe that the later they start taking injections, the better. Indications for Dysport: wrinkles on the forehead, in the bridge of the nose, around the eyes and lips, correction of the shape of the eyebrows and treatment of hyperhidrosis.

What is the difference between Botox and Dysport?

The difference between Botox and Dysport, in addition to different manufacturing companies, is storage conditions and the number of active units in the bottle. In terms of tolerability, effectiveness, duration of action and the presence of side effects, there are no differences between them. The ratio of Botox and Dysport activity units is constantly rewinding. The ratio currently accepted for calculation is 1:3.5. That is, for example, 10 units of Botox correspond in activity to 35 units of Dysport. This is the reason for the difference in the cost of 1 unit of the drug. In the case of Dysport, it will be 3.5-4 times cheaper than Botox. But the total cost of the procedures will be approximately the same.
