Neurotoxins: Botox, Dysport & Xeomin

Neurotoxins

What are Neurotoxins?

Neurotoxins are chemicals that target the nervous system, disrupting the signaling process that allows the neurons to communicate effectively. When injected in very small concentrations into humans, these toxins work by preventing signals from the nerve cells reaching muscles therefore paralyzing them temporarily. In order for muscles to contract, nerves release a chemical messenger, acetylcholine parentheses a neurotransmitter), at the junction where the nerve endings meet muscle cell. Acetylcholine attaches to receptors on muscle cells and causes the muscle cells to contract or shorten. Injected neurotoxins prevent the release of acetylcholine, preventing contraction of the muscle cells which makes the muscles less stiff.

Are these neuromodulator dangerous chemicals?

No!

Everyone knows the name Botox. Botox is the most well-known of the neurotoxins, owned by Allergan and previous to cosmetic use it was used for years for medical conditions. Botox belongs to a category of drugs called neuromodulators. Originally Botox was introduced in 1987 took your blood for a plasm eyelid muscle spasms and was injected by ophthalmologist. Botox blocks the nerves from activating muscles and stops muscles from moving by blocking the activation or firing of nerves to the muscles the muscle spasm was broken. Ophthalmologist noticed that these patients also developed less wrinkles and lines of their skin.

Botox relaxes muscles and therefore decreases the depth of wrinkles. Because you aren’t actively using the muscles you are not increasing the depth of wrinkles during the time the medication is active. Once it wears off you will not be worse off than when you started. In fact several studies have shown that long-term, continued use of Botox slows down the appearance of facial aging. There is absolutely no danger to continuing Botox once you start.

What else is Botox used for?
Botox has found many medical uses and is currently used to treat over 20 different medical conditions including treatment of migraine headaches, excessive sweating, muscle spasms in children with cerebral palsy, bladder spasms, and many more indications. The safety profile of the use of Botox is well known.

How are neuromodulators injected and are there risks or side-effects?
They are injected using the smallest possible needles. There can be a small pin prick sensation from the needles and occasionally a small pinpoint bruising or swelling can occur at the site of injection. A physician with excellent knowledge of the muscles, nerves and blood vessels of the face will be able to know where to inject and how much to inject to get the proper results. Some clients are concerned that they will look “overdone “or “not natural”. In the hands of an experienced doctor this will not happen.

These injections are typically well tolerated. Rarely an individual may have a genetic predisposition that prism results in a mild transient unusual response to the drug. About 1% of people receiving injections may develop antibodies to the toxin that makes subsequent treatments ineffective. The most common side effects reported or mild pain or local swelling or redness, numbness, transient headache, generalized malaise, mild nausea and flu like illness.

What is Dysport?
Although everyone knows the name Botox, Botox has competitors on the market. All are well studied and effective treatments with safety profiles that have been proven. Dysport is another neuromodulator, manufacture by Galderma. Some doctors report that it’s onset of action is slightly shorter (starts working a day or two earlier) and might even last a little bit longer (four months as opposed to 3 months)

What is Xeomin?
This is another neuromodulator made by a company called Merz. The unique thing about Xeomin is that it is the only neurotoxin that doesn’t have the complex proteins attached to it. So it is a purer version of the neuromodulator and therefore perhaps less chance of having an adverse reaction to it and or becoming resistant to it in the future.

Is there another, new neurotoxin on the market?
Yes! It is called Jeaveau (parabotulinumtoxinA)and it is manufactured by Evolus. it works similarly Botox, Dysport and Xeomin and lasts approximately 3 months.

Why is finding the right doctor to perform the injections so important?
As mentioned above only and experienced and skilled doctor, as Dr. Ivan Cvik, who has complete knowledge of all the facial muscles and their function, facial nerves, and blood vessels can safely and effectively perform the injections to get the best outcomes. Dr. Ivan Cvik is a highly trained professional always does an initial, consultation (going over desired outcomes, client expectations) and explains the procedure in detail before proceeding with the actual injections. For more information on neurotoxins please contact our office at 239-500-7727.

Dysport®: the Cosmetic Protein

Dysport®: the Cosmetic Protein

Back to Injectables >
Dysport® is a cosmetic protein that has the ability to erase fine lines and wrinkles. It is an FDA-approved cosmetic treatment that can help you turn back the clock and enjoy a more youthful appearance. We invite you to learn more about this product.

 

Why Do Wrinkles Form?

 

In order for you to understand how treatments that are designed to address wrinkles work, you need to understand why wrinkles form. Additionally, it is good for you to know that people can experience both dynamic and static wrinkles as they get older.

 

Dynamic wrinkles are wrinkles that form because of motion. When you smile, frown, and make other expressions, your muscles move, which moves the skin on top of them as well. This causes your skin to fold and crease. And because your skin gets thinner as you get older, the muscles underneath become more apparent. Dysport® is the right solution for these type of wrinkles because it actually makes the muscles relax. Since the protein inside the product makes the muscles relax, the skin on top of the muscles can relax as well, which leads to a reduction in facial wrinkles.

 

Do You Qualify for Treatment?

 

This product has been approved for use by individuals 18 years of age up to 65. Individuals who are young as 18 usually do not need to receive Dysport® injections. However, when a person gets to an age where they are concerned about preventing dynamic wrinkles, these injections may be used as a preventative treatment.

 

Both men and women experience a boost of confidence and notice that others react positively to the subtle changes that are made with these injections. We are going to look at your overall health when determining if this cosmetic protein is the right option for you. Be prepared to answer questions about your overall health when you visit us for your initial consultation.

Minimize Lines and Wrinkles with Dysport

Minimize Lines and Wrinkles with Dysport

When you first start to see lines and wrinkles appearing on your face, you usually try to do things at home to improve the condition of your skin. You do more to protect your skin from the sun and the elements. And you may even use some treatments that are available to improve your skin. While all of these things definitely have their place in helping you to maintain healthy skin, there will usually come a point when these at-home and completely non-invasive treatments just aren’t cutting it. If you are at that point, we invite you to learn how you can minimize lines and wrinkles with Dysport®.

The reason why Dysport® is going to be so much more effective than the at-home care and treatments we mentioned above is because it actually gets to the root of the problem. This is not something that you can do at home. The product is actually injected into the muscles that are responsible for your dynamic wrinkles. The muscles have the ability to relax, so fine lines and wrinkles, especially on your forehead and around the outer corners of your eyes, are able to smooth out. Your skin will look much softer, and your overall appearance is going to be more youthful.

Many men and women are using Dysport® even when they are in their younger years in order to prevent deep dynamic wrinkles from forming. This can be a very effective strategy. It is usually not necessary for a person who is still very young. However, as you start to get up in your years, you may notice that your skin is already folding and that the condition of your skin is changing. We invite you to visit us and learn about Dysport® for wrinkle prevention. When it comes to many cosmetic treatments, an ounce of prevention is definitely worth a pound of cure. Many have found that by preventing their wrinkles with Dysport®, they are able to hold off on more invasive treatments until much later in life. They look much more attractive and seem a lot younger than they really are as they get older.

The amazing thing about using Dysport® is that so little is required of you to reap such amazing benefits. When you first visit us, you will go through a consultation with one of our medical professionals. If it is determined that Dysport® is the right option for minimizing your lines and wrinkles, you can look forward to your treatment.

Choosing Dysport in Fort Myers, FL

Choosing Dysport in Fort Myers, FL

Fort Myers is an awesome place to visit and an even better place to live. It’s a vibrant city that’s a tourist attraction for so many individuals every year. It has beautiful beaches, exciting nightlife, delicious restaurants, and more than enough fun to keep you going for days at a time. Since this is a tourist destination, looks matter. This is one of the reasons why Dysport® has become very popular in this area. Fort Myers and surrounding residents are using Dysport® treatments at our office as a way to minimize the appearance of dynamic wrinkles.

You may be wondering what Dysport® is. When it comes to treating dynamic wrinkles, the only product that you may have heard about is BOTOX®. So why choose Dysport®? Well, there are a lot of similarities and differences between BOTOX® and Dysport®. Both of the products have the same main ingredient as its base. However, there are differences between the two products that for many make Dysport® the option of choice.

One benefit of Dysport® is that it works faster. A lot of research has been done and the conclusion of the research is that Dysport® will start to show results within 24 to 36 hours. Conversely, you may need to wait up to seven days for BOTOX® to start to show the full results.

Dysport® results are long-lasting but temporary. So, this means that you may only need to undergo a few treatments per year in order to keep your appearance looking its best. Our team can discuss this with you during a consultation.

One of the nicest things about this treatment is that it produces natural-looking results. And, at the end of the day, this is what Fort Myers residents want. They want to look young and they want to look vibrant, but they don’t want their friends, families, or individuals who visit their businesses to see them as people who have had work done. This distracts from the entire feel that the Fort Myers area is trying to create.

Are you a Fort Myers or surrounding resident who has grown tired of the way dynamic wrinkles are affecting your life? If so, do something about it. Learn more about the options available at MedSpa 22 in Fort Myers. Contact us today to schedule a consultation and get started!

Treat Frown Lines with Dysport

Treat Frown Lines with Dysport

There’s nothing that a person can do to completely reverse the aging process. No matter what promises you hear, there is no product on the market that can currently take a 45-year-old individual and make them look like they did when they were 17. However, this is not something that most people want. Really, when it comes to improving your appearance, you are likely among those who simply want to look the best that you can for your age. Dysport® is a treatment that is designed to help bring back your youthful-looking skin. It is designed to minimize the appearance of frown lines. In the days after the treatment, you will notice that your wrinkles start to smooth away and your face starts to look a lot more in harmony with the way that you feel.

So, what is Dysport®? This is an injectable cosmetic treatment that is designed to temporarily remove wrinkles that appear in between your eyebrows. It is a product that is exceptionally safe, and it is a product that has been approved by the FDA. It works underneath your skin to temporarily block nerve signals that are sent to your facial muscles. This in turn prevents your facial muscles from contracting and telegraphing their movements through your skin.

This is a very quick procedure, usually taking only minutes to perform. The results that it provides are natural-looking, and they can restore your youthful appearance, making you look like the best version of yourself possible.

One fear that a person might have when deciding whether or not to use Dysport® is if the product is going to affect their ability to express emotion. The answer is no. What is going to disappear is the unwanted dynamic wrinkles. Your emotions and your facial expressions will not disappear. Untreated muscles will still be able to contract and relax normally. You will have no problem expressing your feelings in a natural way.

With just one treatment, Dysport® can smooth wrinkles on the face and make you look your best. It can take years off your appearance and give you confidence in the way that you look again. If you are concerned about your frown lines, then Dysport® may be the perfect treatment for you. Make an appointment at Med Spa 22 in Fort Myers to learn more information.
