What Are Dynamic Wrinkles?

For the most part, the wrinkles that men and women see on their faces as they age fall into one of two categories: dynamic or static. According to Launa Stone of the Launa Stone Medical Spa in Calabasas, Botox and Dysport are two products that are effective at diminishing both types of wrinkles in very little time.
As a general rule of thumb, Stone explains that Dysport is more commonly used to treat dynamic wrinkles than static wrinkles. Dynamic wrinkles are the types of wrinkles that appear because of typical facial movement. These include frown lines and crows feet outside the eyes. Dynamic wrinkles are thought to be much more difficult to treat than static wrinkles, however they can be eliminated with the use of Dysport.
Both Botox and Dysport are derived from the botulinum toxin, and Stone explains that it is perfectly safe to inject these substances from the nose up on the face. That means that Botox and Dysport are excellent options for people with crows feet, frown lines, and upper forehead lines.
When it comes to treating wrinkles with Dysport or Botox, the Calabasas med spa owner says the treatment options she offers are never cookie cutter. No two patients are exactly the same, since everyone has muscles that insert in different points. Some people have thicker facial muscles, while other people have facial muscles that are very widespread. These unique characteristics are the reason why Calabasas Botox specialists like Stone have to look closely at their patients to determine exactly how much they are going to need in certain areas to get the exact look they desire.
Some people want to still have some expression in their faces after having Botox done, while other people want to get rid of every line completely. Stone and her team of Botox and Dysport experts look at each patient individually to determine what he or she would like.
Additionally, Stone asks all first-time Dysport and Botox patients in Calabasas to come back into her office for a two-week check up their injections to make sure that the optimal result was achieved. She recommends that people stay conservative during their first round of Botox treatments since it is easy to put a little more Botox in at a later date.
Botox and Dysport injections should last three to five months, however Stone recommends that people who are interested in touch up sessions come back in before the movement has completely returned to their faces for the optimal result.
