About Dysport®
Every day we make facial expressions such as frowning and raising our eyebrows. These movements cause the facial muscles to contract, and repeated contracts can lead to dynamic lines. If you are bothered by these lines and are looking to achieve a more youthful appearance, Dysport® may be a great solution.
Dysport® is an injectable treatment formulated to smooth moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows for a more youthful appearance. Like Botox®, Dysport® is a neurotoxin, which means that it works by temporarily relaxing muscle contractions that lead to dynamic lines. The main difference between these formulas is that Dysport® is more diluted, so it spreads more quickly than Botox®. This can be beneficial for treating large areas such as the forehead.
Who is a Candidate?
Men and women 18 years and older who are bothered by frown lines and wrinkles between their eyebrows can often benefit from Dysport®. However, you should not receive this treatment if you are allergic to cow’s milk protein, have a skin infection at the treatment site, or are pregnant or breastfeeding. Please contact our office today to schedule a consultation appointment to learn if you are a good candidate.
The Dysport® Treatment
The Dysport® treatment is performed in-office and is done on an outpatient basis. To begin treatment, a numbing cream will be offered for the treatment area to make sure you are comfortable. Then, a very fine needle will be used to inject the Dysport® into the appropriate areas for desired results. Treatment is quick, taking about 15-20 minutes to complete.
Recovery
After your Dysport® treatment, there is no downtime required, though you may experience temporary redness, swelling, and injection site pain, which will resolve with time. In order to ensure the best possible results, we advise that you avoid vigorous exercise, alcohol consumption, and exposure to heat and tanning for 12-14 hours after treatment.
Noticeable changes may be seen after 2-3 days, but it can take up to one week for full results, which can last 3-6 months
