Do you have frown lines that crease your brow? Dynamic lines and wrinkles are common as you get older. Once the skin begins to lose elasticity, lines can be etched in the skin, even when the face is relaxed. Muscles under the skin can contract and enhance these lines, making your face look older. Our aesthetics team at Dallas Facial Plastic Surgery Center offers cosmetic treatments to reduce worry and frown lines, including Dysport® injections.

Dysport is a brand of botulinum toxin A, similar to Botox®. Both are neuromodulators and FDA-approved to minimize the appearance of frown lines. Dysport injections work by relaxing the targeted muscles that cause frown lines between the eyebrows or worry lines across the forehead. It has been safely used for many years as an alternative to Botox for many cosmetic benefits.

Quick Frown Line Treatment

Dysport injections are a quick solution to smoothing certain dynamic lines on the face. The treatment can be performed in about 15-20 minutes at our Irving, TX center. The targeted muscles are injected – most patients receive multiple injections to achieve the desired effect. There are very few common side effects. Bruising or swelling can occur at the infection site, but these effects dissipate quickly.

Once Dysport is injected, it takes a few days to begin seeing the results. The neurotoxin is absorbed into the muscle and nerve receptors, which is where the neuromodulator effect takes place. The nerve signals that communicate to the muscle to contract are interrupted, resulting in a relaxed and semi-paralyzed state.

With the right dose and placement of Dysport injections, certain lines and wrinkles can disappear within about a week. The results can last for a few months before the muscle, and nerves begin communicating again. Many of our patients have Dysport injections performed a few times per year to maintain the desired wrinkle treatment.

If frown or worry lines are making you appear grumpy or older, you may benefit from neuromodulator injections. At Dallas Facial Plastic Surgery Center, we offer a variety of cosmetic injectables to help you look your best at every stage of your life.
