PUT WRINKLE-CAUSING MUSCLES TO REST FOR PALM DESERT, INDIO, AND LOS ANGELES AREA PATIENTS
Frown lines that appear between the eyebrows with every squint or scowl are known as “dynamic wrinkles.” This is a technical way to say they form due to motion in the skin caused by muscle contractions. An established method for temporarily smoothing such wrinkles is stopping unwanted muscle action with a neuromodulator, such as Dysport®. Los Angeles-area patients seeking a more youthful look can discuss their goals and get a customized treatment at Cosmetic Surgery Institute in Palm Desert.
A few injections of Dysport® into a targeted muscle can cause it to stop its regular contractions for months at a time. This, in turn, prevents the skin from being pulled into positions that create visible lines, folds, and creases.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM A DYSPORT® TREATMENT SESSION
A Dysport® injection session generally takes 20 minutes or less, during which your experienced nurse injector will carefully introduce the neuromodulator into the treatment area. No anesthetic is needed, though patients may request a topical medication to reduce sensation if desired.
Once injected, the prescription cosmetic gets to work. The active ingredient in Dysport® is Clostridium Botulinum Toxin Type A, derived from common bacteria and responsible for inhibiting muscle activity. This is also the active ingredient in the similar BOTOX® Cosmetic.
Dysport® is unique in that it typically works a little faster than BOTOX®, with results appearing as soon as two days after an injection session. Dysport® has a similar duration of about four months.
In all treatments involving Dysport®, patients may notice some slight bruising, swelling, and tenderness in the forehead after their injection session. All of these effects are common to injection-based treatments, and all should be expected to resolve on their own.
The resulting smoother skin will last for months, but as the effects fade, a new session can be scheduled for a fresh round of injections. Many patients follow this cycle to maintain a more youthful look throughout the year.

In addition to Dysport® for treating dynamic wrinkles, Cosmetic Surgery Institute offers dermal fillers for static wrinkles, which form due to loss of volume and key molecules in the skin. Any of these injectable options can be used to complement and enhance the results of surgery, such as a facelift.
