Without this ability, muscles are immobilized.
Nervous contraction occurs when nerve impulses from the centers of the brain enter the corresponding muscles. On this principle, the activity of the motor apparatus and respiratory muscles is based. Therefore, impulses in muscles that are responsible for respiratory movements are very important. That is why when botulism is so high risk of death, without timely medical assistance.
Such properties of botulinum toxin have long been of interest to doctors, because with its help you can control any disease that is associated with excessive activity of some parts of the muscular system. In the late 1980s, purified and inactivated botulinum toxin was used for the first time for therapeutic purposes and was used to treat muscle twitching of the eyelid, strabismus, certain facial areas and other disorders of the neuromuscular system. A few years later, botulinum toxin was used in cosmetology medicine.
In modern cosmetology centers for the reduction of mimic activity, dysport is used.
The mechanism of action of the drug is dysport. Dysport does not apply to neighboring areas, its injections have a local effect. Due to this, the drug can be injected exactly into the "target". As a result, the facial muscles relax and do not allow you to screw up your eyes, wrinkle your forehead, move your eyebrows, etc.
This makes it possible to avoid the appearance of new wrinkles and the deepening of old ones, although it is possible, and somewhat limits the emotionality when dealing with people.
Most often, the drug dysport is used for the upper facial muscles. This makes it possible to get rid of wrinkles in the nose, on the forehead, from the "crow's feet" in the corners of the eyes. It is on these areas of the face that the skin is very tender, so they make anesthesia before proceeding to the procedure. Injections are carried out with a special thin needle. After the procedure, ice is applied for several minutes. First time, after injections, you can not do facial massage and even apply pressure to the areas where the drug was injected, since after that it can act absolutely on other muscles. If this happens, the person can acquire an unnatural and asymmetrical appearance. Although these shortcomings can easily be corrected by a special antidote, but it makes no sense to bring additional suffering and material waste. One and a half weeks after the procedure, you should avoid sauna, hot baths, do not take alcohol and do not have excessive physical exertion.
The rejuvenating result of the procedure is noticeable after 3-4 days and increases gradually over 2-3 weeks. The effect of the disportation lasts for about 8-10 months. After this period, the contractile activity of the muscles is restored, as new neuromuscular connections are formed. After this, it is necessary to repeat the procedure if you want to extend the effect.
Contraindications to dysport injections:
- weakness of muscles;
- coagulation disorders;
- Pregnancy;
- use of antibiotics;
- Hypersensitivity to the drug.
