About Dysport

Dysport works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, which inhibits muscle contraction. This results in a temporary reduction in the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Dysport is often used to treat frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. The mechanism of action of Dysport is like other botulinum toxin injections, such as Botox and Xeomin. However, Dysport is known for its faster onset of action and longer duration of effect. This is due to the smaller size of Dysport molecules, which allows them to diffuse more easily into the muscle tissue. Studies have shown that Dysport can improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. In one study, researchers found that Dysport was more effective than placebo in reducing the severity of frown lines. Dysport was also associated with a lower incidence of side effects compared to other botulinum toxin injections. In another study, researchers found that Dysport was more effective than Botox in reducing forehead wrinkles. Dysport is also known to have a more natural-looking effect, as it does not cause the “frozen” appearance that can occur with other botulinum toxin injections.

Despite its effectiveness, Dysport injections can cause temporary side effects such as swelling, bruising, and redness. These side effects are usually mild and resolve within a few days. In rare cases, Dysport injections can cause more serious complications such as eyelid drooping or difficulty swallowing. These complications are usually temporary and resolve within a few weeks. Proper administration of Dysport by a qualified healthcare professional can minimize the risk of complications. It is important to note that Dysport should only be administered by a qualified healthcare professional who has experience with botulinum toxin injections. Patients should also disclose any medical conditions or medications they are taking before receiving Dysport injections. This will help to minimize the risk of complications and ensure the best possible outcome.

Dysport is an effective cosmetic treatment that can improve the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. Its mechanism of action is like other botulinum toxin injections, but Dysport is known for its faster onset of action and longer duration of effect. While Dysport is generally safe, there are potential risks and complications associated with its use. Patients should only receive Dysport injections from a qualified healthcare professional who has experience with botulinum toxin injections. By following these guidelines, patients can achieve the best possible outcome with Dysport injections.

Conditions treated

Common areas treated with Dysport:

  • Glabellar lines: The vertical lines between the eyebrows, often referred to as “frown lines.”
  • Forehead lines: Horizontal lines across the forehead.
  • Crow’s feet: Fine lines around the outer corners of the eyes.
  • Bunny lines: Vertical lines on the bridge of the nose.
  • Marionette lines: Lines that extend from the corners of the mouth to the jawline.
  • Chin dimples: Small indentations on the chin.
  • Neck bands: Horizontal lines on the neck.

Benefits

Dysport is a popular cosmetic treatment used to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles, particularly the frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). Dysport is injected into specific muscles, blocking nerve signals to them. This muscle relaxation prevents the muscles from contracting, smoothing out the appearance of wrinkles.

Benefits of Dysport:

  • Quick results: You may start to see results within 24-48 hours after treatment.
  • Minimal downtime: The procedure is quick and requires little to no downtime.
  • Natural-looking results: Dysport can provide a subtle, natural-looking reduction in wrinkles.
  • Long-lasting effects: Results can last for several months.
  • Prevention of Wrinkles: By relaxing the muscles, Dysport can help prevent new wrinkles from forming.
  • Improved Confidence: A more youthful appearance can boost your self-esteem and confidence.
  • Non-Surgical Solution: Dysport offers a non-surgical alternative to more invasive procedures.

Candidates

  • Age: Typically, adults between the ages of 18 and 64 are suitable.
  • Realistic Expectations: Candidates should have realistic expectations about the treatment’s outcome.
  • Good General Health: Individuals with underlying health conditions, such as neuromuscular disorders, should consult with their doctor before undergoing treatment.
  • Desire for a Non-Surgical Approach: Those who prefer a minimally invasive approach to wrinkle reduction are ideal candidates.
  • Willingness to Follow Post-Treatment Instructions: Adhering to post-treatment guidelines, such as avoiding certain activities, can help optimize results.

Procedure

Most people receive Dysport treatment every 90 to 120 days, or every 3 or 4 months. Experts recommend waiting at least 90 days between treatments to allow the neurotoxin to be eliminated from the body before resuming treatment.

Partly because we don’t want you to develop a tolerance to the treatment, and partly because we want to make sure each treatment is as safe and effective as the previous one. As a result, most patients have three to four regular appointments per year.

Preparation

Two weeks before your injectable appointment:

  • You should not receive any dental work in the two weeks before, or following, an injectable treatment
  • You should not receive any injectable treatment within the two weeks before, or following, vaccinations

The week prior:

avoid blood thinners

To minimize bruising and/or swelling avoid the use of:

  • Aspirin
  • Ibuprofen
  • Vitamin E
  • Melatonin Sleep-Aid Supplements
  • Fish Oil Supplements
  • Turmeric Supplements
  • & Any over-the-counter supplements that thin the blood
  • If in doubt regarding prescription medication, consult with your nurse practitioners
  • Tylenol may safely be used during this time

The day of your Dysport® treatment:

  • You may wear your normal skincare/makeup to Flawless the day of your treatment though you will need to remove makeup & cleanse the skin prior to treatment.
  • Makeup is not recommended for use 24 hours following injectable treatment; this is to minimize the chance of any harmful bacterial transfer.

Because it takes the protein approximately 2 hours+ to bind to the muscle and start working, we don’t want to do anything to dramatically increase circulation to the treated area(s) and spread the neurotoxin away from the directly treated area.

For Best Results:

  • Avoid working out for 24 hours following treatment
  • No straining, or heavy lifting for 2-3 hours after Dysport® Treatment
  • No lying down for 4-6 hours following treatment
  • Avoid manipulating the treated area(s) for 3 hours after treatment.
  • Do not rub your face where you received injections for at least 3 hours
  • No facials or other services for at least 24 hours
  • Makeup is not recommended for 24 hours following an injectable treatment
  • Other than that, you’ll be able to go about your normal routine immediately after leaving the Flawless MedSpa Office

What to Expect:

  • The initial injection site bumps take just 15-20 minutes to go down
  • It will take a minimum of 7 to 10 days for the neurotoxin to reach its full effect
  • If the desired result was not achieved after two weeks, contact our office for an appointment. Additional units may be needed.
  • Though not common, some patients may experience bruising at the injection site. You may start taking oral Arnica tablets and/or apply topical Arnica. For convenience, we offer both at the Flawless MedSpa Office at a reasonable price, though these can also be found at most drugstores

Discomfort at the injection site(s) is normal. Some patients experience a feeling of fullness and/or ‘heaviness’ in the treated area. This feeling will resolve on its own within a day or two.

Consultation

For adults who want a natural look, there’s Dysport®, a prescription injection proven to help smooth the appearance of moderate to severe frowns without changing the look or movement of the rest of your face. Untreated muscles still work normally, so you can continue to express feelings naturally. It’s the lines that are minimized, not your expressions.
