Before treatment with Dypsort
After- Dysport is the latest wrinkle relaxer approved by the FDA. Its action is similar to Botox - to temporarily relax muscles in the face that cause expression. This interference with facial muscular contractions allows for etched in lines and wrinkles to smooth out over time. The effects of Dysport, much like Botox, may last anywhere from 3 to 6 months for the average person undergoing treatment.

Who thinks to put sunscreen on your eyelids when you’re getting ready for a day outdoors? According to a new article published in The Skin Cancer Foundation Journal, Emily Tierney, MD, and William Hanke, MD, MPH (www.skincancer.org), the eyelids are very susceptible to skin cancer:
“The eyelid region is one of the most common sites for nonmelanoma skin cancers. In fact, skin cancers of the eyelid, including basal cell carcinoma (BCC), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), and melanoma, account for five to 10 percent of all skin cancers.”

Unfortunately, many people believe that tanning salons are a “safer” way to tan. According to a report published by the American Academy of Dermatology, an “international panel of cancer experts upgraded the warning on tanning beds from probably to definitely able to cause cancer.” Below you can find a link to read the full report:
