Dysport/Botox

In cosmetic dermatology, Dysport and Botox (neuromodulators/neurotoxins) have FDA approval for use around and between the eyes (crow’s feet and glabella) and in the forehead.

 

However, off-label uses of Dysport and Botox provide us with the ability to do so much more: The Magic of Dysport

Facial slimming and reshaping with Dysport or Botox and chin filler is a beautiful thing. Dysport or Botox injected into masseter muscles, the chewing and teeth clenching muscles located at the angle of the jawline, relaxes and reduces the size of this overworked muscle group. Dysport injected into chin dimples or pebbled chin helps to smooth and elongate the chin.

Add a little filler for chin augmentation, and a broad square shaped face can be transformed into a feminine oval or heart-shaped one. Further, the slightest adjustments in chin length and projection provide serious improvement for most profiles and face shapes (aka. improved balance and proportion).

Interestingly, a by-product of lower face reshaping oftentimes gives lips a more voluminous appearance.

Dysport/Botox Lip Flip

It’s quick. It’s easy. It’s natural looking. It may be all your lips need.

The lip flip is an off-label use of Dysport or Botox to enhance the appearance of the upper or lower lips. A few units of strategically placed Dysport or Botox in the superficial layers of the muscles around the mouth (obicularis oris) relaxes this muscle group enough to flip or roll lip edges outward and upward. Lips look naturally “poutier” than before.

The Dysport/Botox Lip Flip is for you

• if your upper lip naturally disappears when you smile
• if you want a subtly fuller looking lip without adding volume
• if you want to maximize your lip filler with an added pout.
• It may take up to a week to see full results. Results usually last 2-3 months.
• A few more strategically injected units around the mouth can smooth lip lines (aka. Smoker's lines).

DYSPORT/BOTOX NECK LIFT (aka. Nefertiti Neck Lift)

Dysport and Botox work to flatten the vertical platysma muscles. Straining and stretching these muscles over the years cause them to detach and loosen. The edges of these platysma muscles protrude and appear as vertical bands from the chin to collarbone.

When small amounts of Dysport are injected down these platysmal “bands” and along the jawline, the muscles relax, lifting and smoothing skin in the proces

 

HAPPY FACE TOX

Dysport and Botox make us smile for many reasons including lifting downturned corners of the mouth (oral commissures). This area becomes depressed over time, contributing to a perpetual frown and deeper marionettes. (Note: Deep marionettes oftentimes require filler as well as Dysport or Botox.)

Dysport and Botox relax the depressor muscles (DAO: depressor anguli oris), alleviating the depth of marionettes and up-turing frowny mouth corners.

DYSPORT for HYPERHIDROSIS (Excessive Sweating)

Dysport blocks the nerve signals (neurotransmission) to sweat glands. The result: little to no sweating, no need for an antiperspirant/deodorant and reduced dry cleaning bills.

Hyperhidrosis can occur in underarms, hands or feet.

BOTOX for WOUND HEALING

Botox injected into tensing muscles around incisions improves healing and minimizes scar width and appearance. Read this article from Dermatology Times and Allure.

DYSPORT/BOTOX for PORES (MicroTox, MesoTox, PoreTox, Glass Skin)

Pores are passageways for hair follicles and sebum. Keeping pores clear of dead skin cell buildup and controlling the production of excessive sebum help in reducing the expansion of pores.

When pores become expanded, it is impossible to permanently reduce them again. However, intradermal Botox injections can temporarily shrink them and reduce oil production. Pore-Tox makes skin appear smooth and “glassy.” Effects generally last between 3 and 6 months.

Dysport/Botox for Shoulder Slimming

For calves and shoulders, Botox works much like it does when used for masseter muscles (facial slimming). For calves, the gastrocnemius muscle is “de-bulked” with Botox. For shoulders, the trapezius muscles are reduced with Botox.

Dysport/Botox for NON-SURGICAL BROW LIFT / FOREHEAD LENGTHENING

For the right candidate, Dysport or Botox injected at specific points in the hairline can lengthen the forehead and smooth forehead wrinkles. Forehead skin feels “tighter,” not “frozen.” Brows may also appear to be lifted. This procedure is not recommended for patients with naturally long foreheads as the results may be undesirable.

Although there are seemingly endless cosmetic applications for Dysport and Botox, it is important to understand that they are medical procedures. Botox and Dysport should only be injected by medical professionals.
