With the domination of Botox in the neuromodulator market, competing formulas like Dysport often go unnoticed by those looking to correct dynamic wrinkles throughout the face. However, Dysport’s unique formula can be used in certain circumstances to personalize a facial rejuvenation procedure, as it may be more useful than Botox for some people.
About
Dysport is FDA-approved to treat glabellar lines in the forehead, also known as frown lines. These are wrinkles that form when making certain facial expressions, most obviously when frowning. It can be considered to be used in other areas of the face in procedures known as “off-label” uses.
Candidates
Dysport is safe for nearly any adult who wants to get rid of wrinkles that form when making certain facial expressions. To ensure you don’t have any contraindications for this treatment and Dysport’s formula specifically, Dr. Wallach always performs a routine medical examination and asks about your medical history before administering neuromodulators like Dysport.
Procedure
Dysport in New York starts with a consultation to determine the best way to get rid of the wrinkles in the face that you’re concerned about.
