How does Dysport work?

Wrinkles are caused by repeated movements and muscle contractions. One injection into each of the 5 points between and above the eyebrows temporarily prevents muscle contractions that cause frown lines.

In other words: natural-looking results that look and feel like you.

Who Are Candidates for Dysport?

Our skin loses its elasticity as we start aging, and the creases in our face turn into lines and permanent wrinkles. The wrinkles are commonly found on the forehead and around the eyes and mouth as the muscles that help us smile and frown are located there. Dysport restrains these muscles and thus helps to restore a more youthful expression to the face. It does this by training the muscles to contract less often after several treatments.

Dysport injections are perfect for almost anybody who wants to reduce the wrinkles and fine lines on their face and make it look younger and more refreshed. Both men and women can be benefitted from this procedure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Dysport contain?
+

Dysport is an FDA-approved treatment that eases the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing facial forehead muscles. It is injected straight into the site of wrinkles to keep the core muscles from contracting.

Dysport contains botulinum toxin type A, a prescription formula used to smoothen wrinkles caused by oft-repeated facial expressions, like frowning, smiling, and squinting. The neuromodulator works by provisionally blocking nerve signals of targeted well-worn muscles, causing the skin to lift and soften.

How Is Dysport Administered?
+

Dysport treatment is very fast and efficient with little to no lost time. The targeted areas are cleaned before the treatment, followed by applying a local numbing agent, such as lidocaine. The Dysport injections are given directly into the facial muscles between the eyebrows. This helps to immobilize the facial muscles of the forehead that cause unattractive frown lines and other wrinkles.

While patients will feel minor discomfort, the anesthetic helps to deliver a painless experience. The number of injections is specific to the patient and their treatment goals. This is why a consultation is so crucial at our office. A special treatment plan is chalked out during the consultation, and any questions or concerns are addressed.  

Dysport sessions typically take less than 15 minutes and can be administered at six-week intervals. Most patients attain their desired results with three to five injections. Dysport is not a permanent treatment; therefore, patients are advised to undertake regular maintenance treatments to retain results.

What Are the Side Effects of Dysport?
+

The regular side effects of Dysport include minor bruising and soreness around the injection site. These effects are mild and usually last for a few days. You can wear make-up following treatment but should avoid pressure around the treated area for several hours.
