Some of the most popular anatomical landmarks for Dysport include the glabella, forehead, and crow's feet, but did you know that Dysport can be used for more than just the wrinkles on your forehead and around the eyes? Dysport can be injected into various areas of the face and neck for an aesthetically pleasing appearance. These areas include:
Jelly Roll
The jelly roll is the area located directly below the eyes that creates horizontal wrinkles when smiling. These lines can be smoothed out with just a few units of Dysport.
Bunny Scrunch
As cute as the bunny scrunch sounds, this is an area of wrinkle to avoid. Bunny scrunch is the area on the upper nose that creates horizontal lines when squinting.
Lip Flip/Perioral lines
This is becoming an increasingly popular area for Dysport as it relaxes the upper lip muscle, preventing it from flipping under when smiling and giving it a slightly larger, flipped-outward appearance. It also prevents the lips from pursing together, creating vertical lines also known as perioral lines.
Gummy Smile
Do your gums show when you smile? This could be due to hyperfunctional lip elevator muscles. Injecting Dysport to this area will help relax the muscle without freezing your smile or limiting the expression around your mouth. By targeting the elevating muscles, you can confidently smile bigger and brighter.
Downward Turn
Do your lips naturally draw down in the corner of your mouth at rest? This could be due to an overactive Depressor Anguli Oris (DAO) muscle. A few units of Dysport help by temporarily relaxing the downward pulling action of the DAO muscle, preventing future marionette lines.
Masseters
When a neuromodulator is injected into the jaw muscles, also known as the masseters, the muscles respond by losing some of their bulk, creating a slimming effect on your face. Masseter injections have also been beneficial with clients experiencing pain from TMJ.
Platysma Bands
Have you been considering a neck lift, but don’t want to commit to the cost and downtime that comes with surgery? Injected into the platysma bands, Dysport helps smooth the bands and decrease the lines on the neck to give the neck a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
