Sometimes, in order to preserve the youthfulness of a person, it is not enough to go in for sports, visit a cosmetologist on a regular basis and eat right. Women need injectable cosmetic agents - Dysport or Botox.
How does Botox work?
Botox is injected intramuscularly directly into the problematic facial muscles. He for a while blocks their susceptibility to nerve impulses and due to this, the whole muscle or a certain part of it relaxes and ceases to contract. After that, the wrinkles formed by the muscle are smoothed out.
In order for Botox not to violate the natural facial expressions, it is necessary to correctly introduce it, that is, not fully immobilize the muscles that are responsible for the appearance of wrinkles, but only to remove the increased tone in them. By blocking neuromuscular bonds, this cosmetic agent does not destroy muscle or nerve fibers and retains the effect up to 6 months.
Using Botox, you can get rid of:
- horizontal folds on the forehead;
- " Crow's feet ";
- interbrow folds;
- deep wrinkles near the corners of the mouth;
- wrinkles above the upper lip;
- excessive sweating in the armpits, on the feet or palms.
How does Dysport work?
The action of the Disport is identical with Botox. In a safe concentration for health, it is also used in cosmetology. Dysport, when ingested, blocks acetylcholine, which is responsible for muscle contraction, which allows the muscle to enter a state of flaccid paralysis for a certain period of time. Wrinkles on the face just disappear, but the woman after the injection of Disport can not squint or frown the forehead, as before.
The advantages of this tool are that:
- the duration of its action can be up to 8 months;
- it does not cause loss of sensitivity of the skin;
- The drug has undergone various clinical tests in 120 countries around the world.
Which is better - Dysport or Botox?
Many are interested in what is better - Dysport or Botox, because visually these drugs work the same way, but the manufacturer and the characteristics of them are somewhat different. Choose the product you need individually, after consulting with your beautician.
The main difference between these remedies is that Dysport contains 2.5 times less botulinum toxin than Botox. This means that by treating Dispot it can be leveled much easier and faster than after Botox administration.
They also differ in the time of action. Dysport will smooth out wrinkles as early as 2 to 3 days after the procedure and after Botox's injections the effect will appear only 4-7 days.
The activity of Botox is slightly higher than that of its analog. For example, if you chop Dysport into your armpits, you will need 4 units of the drug, and Botox - only 1 bottle.
Cases of distribution of the drug for the necessary area of injection are in both drugs, but, according to a number of cosmetologists, Dysport is more diffusive. That is, it penetrates far more often not only into the "target" muscle, but also into its neighbors. Side effects from this are always temporary and pass without drug treatment. Due to the fact that Botox does not diffuse so easily, it is better for them to treat small areas of the face - the corners of the eyes, the perioral region.
After Botox injections, a woman may have muscle weakness, blurred vision and dizziness. And after nyxes of Disport, "generalized muscle weakness" may occur. Botox has undergone more extensive testing for effectiveness and safety.
The cardinal difference between Botox and Disport is that the first drug, as a remedy for eliminating facial wrinkles, is not recommended for people after 65 years and up to 18 years of age. But there are no restrictions at the age of Disport.
