When it comes to non-surgical facial rejuvenation, both dermal fillers and Dysport are popular and effective treatments. Each targets different concerns and works in unique ways to help you achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance. But how do you know which one is right for you?
Dr. Robert Schwarcz, with offices on the Upper East Side of Manhattan in NYC and Rye, NY, specializes in both treatments and can help you choose the best option based on your individual needs and goals.
Understanding Dermal Fillers
What Are Dermal Fillers?Dermal fillers are injectable treatments made from hyaluronic acid (HA) or other biocompatible materials that restore volume, smooth wrinkles, and enhance facial contours.
What Do Dermal Fillers Treat?
Volume Loss: Restores fullness to cheeks, lips, and under-eye hollows.
Deep Wrinkles: Smooths lines like nasolabial folds and marionette lines.
Facial Contouring: Enhances jawline, chin, and cheeks.
Lip Enhancement: Adds volume and definition to the lips.
Popular Options at Dr. Schwarcz’s Office:
Restylane Fillers: Ideal for fine lines, volume loss, and tear trough rejuvenation.
RHA Fillers: Designed to move naturally with facial expressions for dynamic areas like around the mouth.
Sculptra: Stimulates collagen production for long-term volume restoration.
Understanding Dysport
What Is Dysport?Dysport is a botulinum toxin injection that temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines and crow’s feet.
What Does Dysport Treat?
Dynamic Wrinkles: Smooths lines caused by repetitive muscle movements, such as:
Frown lines (glabellar lines).
Forehead wrinkles.
Crow’s feet around the eyes.
Excessive Sweating: Can also be used to reduce sweating in areas like the underarms.
How It Works:
Dysport blocks nerve signals to the targeted muscles, reducing their activity and softening wrinkles.
Results typically last 3–4 months.
How to Choose Between Dermal Fillers and Dysport
1. Consider Your Concerns:
Volume Loss or Hollowing: Dermal fillers are best for restoring volume and contouring.
Wrinkles Caused by Muscle Movement: Dysport is ideal for smoothing dynamic wrinkles like crow’s feet or forehead lines.
2. Desired Results:
Fillers provide immediate results that add volume and smooth static wrinkles.
Dysport offers subtle, natural wrinkle reduction over the treated area, with full effects visible within a few days.
3. Duration of Results:
Fillers like Restylane or Sculptra can last 6–24 months, depending on the product used.
Dysport results typically last 3–4 months and require regular maintenance for continued effects.
4. Combination Treatments:For comprehensive facial rejuvenation, many patients benefit from combining fillers and Dysport. For example:
Use Dysport for forehead lines and fillers for under-eye hollows.
Combine jawline contouring with fillers and Dysport to reduce a bulky masseter muscle.
