The Best Filler for Crow’s Feet? 10 Reasons to Consider Dysport

If you’re experiencing crow’s feet, don’t worry. You don’t have to accept these wrinkles as a natural consequence of aging. The medical professionals at ProMD Health in Baltimore, Maryland offer Dysport, the best filler for crows feet, a fantastic injectable treatment that can smooth your wrinkles and make you look young and beautiful. Read on to learn how this efficient, easy treatment can renew and refresh your look.

The Best Filler for Crow’s Feet? Ten Reasons to Consider Dysport

1. It’s Perfect for Crow’s Feet

Dysport is a fantastic way to reduce the appearance of your crow’s feet. This injectable treatment can smooth these wrinkles and make you look fresher and younger.

Crow’s Feet

Crow’s feet are wrinkles that develop on the side of your eyes. These wrinkles, which scientists call lateral orbital rhytids, are caused by muscle contractions and age-related changes in your skin. They are a variety of dynamic wrinkles.

Crow’s feet are dynamic because when they first develop, they only appear when you squint, smile, or make other facial expressions. However, over time, the crow’s feet will become deeper. After a while, you will see your crow’s feet when your face is at rest. This process can be very frustrating because it can make you look older than you really are.

Addressing Your Crow’s Feet

Fortunately, you don’t have to accept your crow’s feet. This injectable is a fantastic way to reduce the appearance of these wrinkles and make you look renewed and refreshed. In fact, a scientific study showed that this injectable may be more effective at treating crow’s feet than Botox. In this study, patients and physicians said that this injectable did a better job of reducing their crow’s feet while they were smiling than Botox did.

2. It Gently Relaxes Muscles

This treatment is a neuromodulator. This wrinkle reduction method reduces dynamic wrinkles by interrupting the communication between your nerves and muscles.

How Dynamic Wrinkles Form

Your skin moves when your muscles repeatedly contract and loosen. Your skin will crease when your muscles contract. Over time, these muscle movements will cause your skin to develop wrinkles. Because of a variety of age-related changes, people are more likely to experience wrinkles as they become older.

As we age, loss of skin elasticity and collagen makes our skin more likely to crease and wrinkle. Your genes and lifestyle choices can also increase your chance of developing wrinkles.

Interrupting the Process

This treatment uses a chemical solution to interrupt the muscle movements that cause wrinkles to develop and deepen. Your medical provider will administer this solution, which contains botulinum toxin, into your target treatment area. The injection will prevent your nerves from communicating with the muscles in the targeted area. This will relax the muscles in this area, improving the smoothness of your skin and reducing the appearance of your wrinkles.

3. It Uses an Individualized Formula

Dysport uses a unique chemical solution to treat your wrinkles. It differs from other neuromodulators like Botox and Xeomin. These injectable therapies all have unique benefits. For instance, Dysport is great at treating crow’s feet, while Botox is an effective way to address other dynamic wrinkles.

During your initial consultation, we’ll talk about your medical history, your desired results, and any injectable treatments that you’ve received before. We will analyze how your skin responded to these treatments. We will use this information to determine which injectable is right for you.

4. It’s Quick and Easy

If you don’t want to endure an invasive, complex procedure to renew your skin, don’t worry. You’re not alone. People may want to avoid these procedures for a variety of reasons. Maybe you’re afraid of going to the hospital. Maybe you don’t want to deal with incisions and scarring. Or perhaps you can’t take months off from work or childcare while you recover.

Whatever your reason, you can feel comfortable and at ease when you choose this injectable treatment. This wrinkle reduction method is a straightforward process that doesn’t require you to visit the hospital or go through a lengthy recovery period.

The First Step

You will have an initial consultation before you receive this injectable. During this meeting, we will examine your skin and talk about your desired results. We will use this information to determine where to apply the injections. We will also discuss how many treatment sessions will allow you to maintain your youthful look. We will give you instructions about how to prepare to receive the injectable. For instance, we may ask you not to take certain medications before your treatment.

Your Treatment

We will perform this treatment in our office. We will begin by cleaning your target area with an alcohol wipe. We may use a local anesthetic, like lidocaine, to numb your skin and help you remain comfortable during the process. Next, we will inject the product into your target areas. Although individual treatments will vary, the injections often take only ten to twenty minutes. Many patients find this process to be relaxing and comfortable.

Aftercare

You aren’t required to take weeks off from your daily activities after your treatment. Most people can go home immediately after their injections. That said, you should not apply makeup immediately after you receive your injections. Further, we may ask you to follow certain rules after your treatment. For instance, we may ask you to avoid steam baths, strenuous exercise, excessive sun exposure, and saunas.

5. It Renews Your Appearance in a Natural-Looking Manner

It’s normal to worry about how you’ll look after you receive a new skincare treatment. But you need not feel nervous about this injectable. You won’t look fake or plastic after you receive this treatment.

A Sophisticated Approach

Our skilled medical professionals have extensive experience using injectables to enhance people’s skin. We use a careful, conservative approach to reducing your wrinkles. After your treatment, you will look renewed and refreshed, in a natural, sophisticated way. Many people are thrilled with their revitalized, more youthful-looking skin.

A Natural-Looking Improvement

You need not worry about your ability to make facial expressions after you receive this treatment. This injection will reduce the prominence of your wrinkles without altering your overall look. The facial muscles that you don’t target will continue to move normally. You will still be able to smile and make other facial expressions in these areas of your face.

6. It Can Address a Variety of Fine Lines

This injectable isn’t just for crow’s feet. Besides improving the wrinkles around your eyes, this treatment can reduce the appearance of a variety of other fine lines and imperfections. In particular, this injectable product is excellent at addressing many other dynamic wrinkles that are created by furrowing your brow, frowning, and making other facial expressions.

Frown Lines

This treatment is especially good at treating frown lines that appear between your eyebrows. In fact, several clinical studies have shown that this product can reduce the appearance of these lines. In these studies, most patients or their specialists felt that their frown lines significantly improved after their treatments.

Other Wrinkles

This treatment may also improve wrinkles on your nose, which are commonly known as bunny lines. It can also target lines on your lips, which are sometimes called smoker’s lines.

7. It Works Quickly and Efficiently

This injectable treatment is perfect for people who don’t want to wait for weeks or months to see improvements in their wrinkles. It will reduce your wrinkles in a fast, efficient manner. In fact, most people in a clinical study noticed improvements in their frown lines within two to three days after receiving their injections. Although your individual results may vary, people are usually happy by how quickly they see the beneficial effect of their treatments.

8. It Lasts for Months

This treatment is an efficient way to enhance your look and reduce the appearance of your wrinkles. That’s because a single treatment session will improve the appearance of your wrinkles for a significant period. Everyone’s skin is unique, so individual results will vary. That said, many people’s results lasted for up to five months after they received their injections.

Maintaining Your New Look

This injectable treatment is not permanent. As the treatment wears off, your face will gradually return to its previous appearance. Fortunately, you can receive touch-up injections to address this issue. You should wait at least ninety days between injections. We will design a personalized treatment plan that will allow you to maintain your youthful appearance.

9. It’s Perfect for Lots of People

This injectable is a gentle, easy product that many people can use to reduce their wrinkles and enhance their skin.

People With Dynamic Wrinkles

If you’re a healthy person under sixty-five who wants to reduce the appearance of your wrinkles, this treatment may be perfect for you. This injectable is a superb way to improve crow’s feet, moderate-to-severe frown lines, and other dynamic wrinkles.

Men

Like women, men can develop prominent wrinkles that keep them from looking their best. In particular, many men have deep expression lines that make them look older than they are. This injectable treatment can be used on men and women, so it is a wonderful solution for men who want to look younger and more vibrant.

People With Health Issues

Certain skin issues and medical conditions may prevent you from using this treatment. This treatment is not suitable for pregnant or nursing women. It is also not for people who have allergies to any of the ingredients in the injectable solution or to cow’s milk protein.

This treatment also is not right for people who have a skin infection in the target area. You should not receive this treatment if you had an allergic reaction to another botulinum toxin product, like Xeomin or Botox.

10. It’s a Proven Treatment

Although Dysport is not as famous as Botox, it has been around for a very long time. In fact, people have been using this product for clinical purposes for over twenty-five years. In 2009, the FDA approved this injectable for wrinkle reduction purposes.

Today, this injectable is approved in sixty-nine countries around the world. People who use this injectable are thrilled with the improvements in their appearance. In fact, in a clinical study, 97% of women who used this treatment said that they would choose it again.
