Aging happens to all of us. If you have noticed the development of facial wrinkles and fine lines in the rearview mirror, in photos, or when your phone camera is on selfie mode, you are not alone. The development of facial wrinkles is one of the earliest and most noticeable signs of aging and is often one of the most distressing signs for our patients.
Though we cannot stop the passage of time, our trained injectors can halt the appearance and development of wrinkles on the face with superior neuromodulator treatments. Our Med Spa offers one of the leading neuromodulator treatments in the world, Dysport®, for effective treatment of facial signs of aging.

Fine lines and wrinkles are a sign of the natural aging process. They appear in everyone over the course of time. However, these signs can be exacerbated by sun exposure, smoking, and even genetics. Each of these factors, along with aging, contribute to the skin losing elasticity and moisture, as well as its ability to replenish its store of essential nutrients such as collagen, elastin, and fibrin. This is when you notice the development of facial wrinkles, particularly on the forehead, around the eyes, and mouth.
Dysport is derived from the clostridium botulinum bacterium, and works in a very similar manner to Botox. It prevents the muscle that causes the movement, and overlying skin, from contracting by blocking signals from the brain to the muscle, allowing the facial skin to remain smooth and wrinkle-free. Dysport in Fort Worth is an ideal treatment to address many types of facial lines and wrinkles.
Botox and Dysport are two of the most popular products in the world to treat the formation of dynamic wrinkles, including those caused by facial expressions such as squinting, smiling, and frowning. But what is the difference between Botox and Dysport, and which of these treatments are better for our patients?
Since both are derived from the clostridium botulinum bacterium, it may seem like there is no difference between Botox and Dysport, but this could not be further from the truth. Botox and Dysport are very different from each other, and each treatment has their advantages and preferred uses.
The major difference is their formulation and molecular composition: Dysport contains less protein, and is far more diluted than Botox. Due to its molecular composition, Dysport also has a different molecular behavior, which cause it to spread faster over a large surface area. Dysport is also effective in less time, allowing the results to appear faster.
These critical molecular differences between the two treatments mean that even though both injectables are well-suited for the treatment of wrinkles, you may want to talk with your injector about which product addresses your specific needs the best.
Dysport works really well for larger and broader facial surface areas, such as treating wrinkles on the forehead. It is exceptionally well-suited for “11” lines in between the eyes, also known as glabellar lines, and other forehead wrinkles, as well as chin wrinkles. A little goes a long way: the ability of Dysport to spread over a wide surface allows a smaller amount to be highly effective.
On the other hand, because Botox is slower-moving, is better suited for more precise treatments on smaller surface areas, such as lip lines and other finer wrinkles.
Our elite medical team, which includes some of the finest injectors in the region, can discuss your skin care goals with you and explain why getting Dysport injections in Fort Worth can be beneficial.
Many people experience facial wrinkles over time but may not want or need a facelift to address it. Instead, you can get injections to soften those lines while still looking natural!
