WHAT IS ANTI-WRINKE INJECTABLES?
Dysport and Botox are offered for the use of anti-wrinkle treatment, and can prevent the formation of static wrinkles. This reduced muscle movement lessens stress on the skin, helping you maintain a fresh and youthful appearance. It is an approved cosmetic medication to treat fine lines, wrinkles and excessive sweating.
Both brands have the same active ingredient of Botulinum Toxin it is natural purified protein. Botulinum Toxin reduces muscle movement by interrupting the nerve-muscle pathway. It does this by preventing the release of the neurotransmitter which stimulates muscle fibre contraction ‘Acetycholine’ (ACH) from the nerve ending resulting in a temporary paralysis of the muscle in the treatment area.
