Dysport® in St. Louis
When it comes to achieving a youthful and refreshed appearance, this treatment is a popular choice. Similar to BOTOX, it allows for subtle facial movement while effectively reducing the appearance of wrinkles—often resulting in a more natural look.
This injectable works by relaxing targeted facial muscles to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles. It’s particularly effective for softening moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet, and glabellar lines.
With quick sessions and minimal downtime, Dysport offers a convenient way to maintain a youthful look. Results usually appear within a few days and can last for several months, making it a reliable option for long-term wrinkle prevention and skin rejuvenation.
What Is Dysport®?
How Does Dysport® Work?
As a type of neuromodulator, Dysport works by inhibiting the movement of forehead muscles that cause frown lines/glabellar lines. By preventing the nerves from telling these muscles to contract, the muscles remain relaxed and allow the wrinkles to become smooth for a naturally youthful appearance.
Benefits
Administration of Injections
Dysport injections are carefully placed in targeted facial areas, including the forehead, crow’s feet, and frown lines, to smooth wrinkles and prevent new ones from forming. Using very small 31-gauge needles, this treatment relaxes overactive muscles, creating a refreshed and natural-looking appearance.
How Long Does Treatment Take?
The Dysport injection process generally takes just 10 minutes but can take up to 45 minutes depending on the number of areas being treated.
What Do Dysport® Injections Feel Like?
Patients often describe the sensation as a slight sting or prick, similar to a routine blood draw or other medical injections. At Aestheticare STL, your experienced injector will use a gentle, precise technique to minimize any discomfort during the Dysport procedure.

Is Downtime Needed to Recover After Dysport® Treatment?

Frequently Asked Questions
How Much Does Dysport® Cost in St. Louis, MO?
The cost of treatment depends on the depth and length of your frown lines, as well as the number of units required. After your personalized consultation, we’ll provide a detailed estimate based on your specific needs and goals with Dysport.
Am I a Good Candidate for Dysport®?
A good candidate is over the age of 18 with moderate to severe wrinkles, in good overall health, without any contraindications or active skin infections in the treatment area.

At Aestheticare STL, we offer complimentary personalized consultations to better understand your concerns and recommend the most effective treatment or combination of treatments for your needs.

Once we’ve fully evaluated your cosmetic goals and ensured you’re informed, we’ll help determine if this injectable is the right choice for you.
Will Dysport® Make My Face Look Frozen?
This treatment delivers natural-looking results, so you won’t appear frozen or stiff afterward. No one has to know you had Dysport injections—unless you choose to share.
Are There Any Side Effects With Dysport®?
Rare but potential side effects include redness, itching, swelling, bruising, headache, nausea, eyelid swelling, and drooping. These reactions are usually mild and resolve on their own within a few days to a few weeks. You can minimize the risk of side effects and achieve optimal results by choosing a qualified, experienced injector for your Dysport treatment.
What Is the Difference Between BOTOX® and Dysport®?
At Aestheticare STL, we offer both BOTOX and Dysport as well as another neuromodulator called Jeuveau. At your consultation, we will explain the benefits of each neuromodulator treatment to help determine which one will best achieve your cosmetic goals.
Can I Combine Dysport® With Other Cosmetic Treatments?
Yes! If you have signs of aging or cosmetic concerns in other areas of your face or body, ask us about additional treatments. Dermal fillers are another type of injectable treatment that restores volume and fills wrinkles in the middle and lower face. Laser skin rejuvenation can address acne, rosacea, scars, wrinkles and more. Thread lifts can elevate sagging skin in the mid to lower face, such as sunken cheeks and drooping jowls. These and other treatments can be combined with Dysport to address multiple aesthetic concerns.
