Tox (Dysport)
Tox, commonly referred to as Dysport, is a botulinum toxin type A product widely used for both cosmetic and medical purposes. It works by temporarily relaxing muscles, reducing their activity, and is a popular choice for addressing fine lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements. Dysport is particularly effective in treating frown lines between the eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet around the eyes. This muscle relaxation results in a smoother and more youthful appearance of the skin.
In medical applications, Dysport is used to treat conditions such as cervical dystonia (neck spasms), spasticity in conditions like cerebral palsy, and hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating). It is also known for its relatively fast onset of action, often producing visible effects within one to three days after injection, with results typically lasting around three to four months.
The procedure involves injecting Dysport directly into targeted muscles. It is minimally invasive, quick, and requires little to no downtime. Mild side effects, such as swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection site, may occur but usually resolve quickly. Dysport’s ability to diffuse over larger areas makes it particularly suitable for treating broader muscle groups. It is essential to consult a licensed practitioner to determine its suitability for your needs and to achieve the best results
