Dysport® in St. Louis
When it comes to achieving a youthful and refreshed appearance, Dysport® treatments stand out as a popular choice. Dysport is similar to BOTOX, but it often provides a more natural look by allowing for subtle facial movement while reducing the appearance of wrinkles.
This injectable treatment works by relaxing targeted facial muscles, smoothing out fine lines and wrinkles for a rejuvenated appearance. Dysport is particularly effective for softening moderate to severe forehead lines, crow’s feet, and glabellar lines.
With quick treatment sessions and minimal downtime, Dysport offers a convenient way to maintain a youthful look. Results typically appear within a few days and can last for several months, making it an excellent 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 say that Dysport feels like a slight sting or prick similar to a blood draw or other medical shots they’ve received through a needle. Your experienced injector at Aestheticare STL will use a careful, gentle injection method to reduce any potential discomfort during your Dysport procedure.

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.
