Dysport is a brand name for a prescription medication that contains botulinum toxin type A. Similar to Botox, Dysport is used for cosmetic purposes to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults.
Botulinum toxin type A works by blocking the signals from the nerves to the muscles, preventing muscle contractions that cause wrinkles and lines to form. When injected into specific facial muscles, Dysport temporarily relaxes these muscles, smoothing out wrinkles and creating a more youthful appearance.
The effects of Dysport typically become noticeable within a few days after the injection and can last for several months before gradually wearing off. Repeat treatments are usually needed to maintain the results.
How often do you get Dysport?
Generally patients get injections every three to four months after the initial appointment. However, you may need less injections if you have had two or three treatments previously. These injectables can gradually train targeted muscles to remain in a more relaxed state and make the results longer lasting.
Facial lines and wrinkles begin to appear for some people starting in their 20s. These lines make you look old, tired, grumpy, sad, and can change the way people perceive you. Dysport is a non-surgical injectable medication that smooths wrinkles without any downtime or extreme side effects, thus making it an excellent option for folks on the go that are wanting their appearance to be youthful.
Dysport is perfect for adults over the age of 18 that want to achieve non-surgical wrinkle prevention and relaxation without any downtime.
The Process
- Once the treatment area is chosen, the injector will mark the areas for injection and cleanse the area.
- The injector will place the intended amount of Dysport into the targeted muscles
- Have a collaborative conversation with the trained injector about the appropriate treatment areas for desired results.
- Pain with injection is minimal and resolves within seconds; there is no lasting discomfort with this treatment
Post-Injection
Some patients experience minor bruising, swelling, and redness around the injection sites. These side effects typically improve over hours. Patients are advised to avoid physical exertion for 24 hours, avoid the sun and rubbing the injection sites.
Results
Typically results are noticeable about three to five days after the injections. The final results are visible in about two weeks post injection. The skin will appear much smoother, and those fine lines and wrinkles will begin to fade over the next several weeks to months. The treatment results typically last three to four months.
