Dysport
What Is Dysport?
Dysport is a non-surgical solution for deep dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements. Patients can treat a broad range of concerns in a single area with the unique injectable. Dysport has minimal pain, side effects, or downtime making wrinkle reduction incredibly easy.
With a single in-office treatment, patients can naturally smooth wrinkles for 3-4 months. Dysport works similarly to that of Botox injections by temporarily limiting muscle movement around the treatment area. Aside from cosmetic applications, Dysport has been used for certain neurological disorders for over a decade.
Is Dysport Right for Me?
Dysport may be right for you if you’d like to temporarily improve the appearance of crow’s feet, forehead lines (glabellar lines), or frown lines. Dysport reduces visible signs of aging while allowing you to retain natural facial movement.
Dysport also makes an excellent treatment for preventative care. The injectable helps keep aging at bay by limiting the severity of commonly used expressions. Many patients opt to have 2-3 treatments annually to maintain a youthful-looking appearance.
Some patients may be better suited for dermal fillers to address their aesthetic concerns. During your in-person consult, your skin care specialist will help determine if Dysport is right for you.
What Should I Expect from My Treatment?
Dysport treatments are done in-office and take approximately 15-minutes. While Dysport is most often well tolerated, a topical numbing agent may be applied beforehand to keep you comfortable throughout. Dysport requires fewer injection sites for larger areas when compared to similar treatments.
Dysport is a unique form of botulinum toxin type A. Once injected, the specialized formula quickly works to block nerve signals allowing wrinkles to relax. Your injector specialist will apply Dysport directly to the offending wrinkles for an optimal outcome sans complications.
There is no need for recovery after your Dysport appointment making the treatment accessible for patients with busy lifestyles. You’re free to get back to work or your daily routine immediately. While side effects are typically rare, you may experience slight swelling, redness, or pinpoint bleeding at the injection site. Most side effects should resolve themselves within 24-72 hours.
How Soon Will I See Results?
Dysport is fairly fast-acting. Many patients begin to see initial results within just 2-5 days. Continued improvement will gradually occur up to 2-weeks for a subtle, yet dramatic change. Dysport can last from 3-4 months depending on the treatment area and the severity of your concerns. The injectable is safe and effective as needed for wrinkle reduction.
