26 Oct Q & A’s About Botox And Dysport
Botox and Dysport have been FDA approved for quite a while now. Millions of women have had the injections, and most are overwhelmingly happy with their results. As time goes by, it’s time to ask a few questions about these amazing injectable youth preservers.
Is It Possible To Become Resistant To Botox?
It is extremely rare. If you had botulinum poisoning as a child from some home-canned vegetables or the like, you could conceivably have developed antibodies to it and be resistant. Also, remember that Botox and Dysport are used in much greater quantities for many different medical conditions with resistance only rarely; sometimes in doses that are a hundred times higher than the ones used for cosmetic purposes. For cosmetic purposes, tiny amounts of Botox and Dysport are used. If you suspect that you’re resistant, it’s more likely that the Botox is not being injected correctly or it could be possible that it’s being over diluted.
What about cutting the nerves in the forehead? Doesn’t this work as well or better than Botox and Dysport?
This does work, but extreme caution is advised as this is drastic and invasive. Never would the patient have any movement in that particular area again. This would look very unnatural permanently…more like Botox or Dysport injections gone wrong (which is still only temporary). With Botox injections done correctly, some movement can be left in the forehead, resulting in a more natural look without undue wrinkling.
What’s the difference between Botox and Dysport?
Dysport is another form of botulinum toxin that doctors have used in Europe for many years. The FDA recently approved its use in the United States. It is distributed by Medicis, a reputable company. Interestingly, it’s the first real competition for Allergan’s Botox. Both are essentially used for the same things.
The first and foremost question you should be asking if you are considering Botox or Dysport, is; who is the most competent and experienced provider that I can find? Products can be very similar, and it takes knowledge and expertise to use them effectively and appropriately.
