Dysport® in St Louis

At Aestheticare STL, Dysport® is a fast-acting, FDA-approved injectable that helps reduce dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements. Similar to BOTOX®, it targets facial muscles to soften moderate to severe forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet, without freezing your natural expressions. With minimal downtime and visible results in just a few days, Dysport in St. Louis is a trusted choice for anyone seeking a refreshed, youthful appearance and long-lasting wrinkle prevention.

Dysport® Treatment Overview

This FDA-approved neuromodulator is our preferred choice for smoothing fine lines and wrinkles while preserving natural facial expressions. It works by relaxing targeted facial muscles to reduce the appearance of forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, and other dynamic wrinkles.

Known for delivering soft, natural-looking results, it spreads evenly for a smooth finish without a frozen look. Many patients appreciate its quick onset and long-lasting effects, making Dysport a go-to option for maintaining a refreshed, youthful appearance.

Whether you’re aiming to prevent new wrinkles or soften existing ones, this non-surgical solution offers versatility with minimal downtime.

Dysport is especially beneficial for individuals seeking preventive care or first-time injectables because of its fast onset, consistent results, and subtle yet noticeable improvement. At Aestheticare STL, our experienced team tailors each treatment plan to match your facial structure and aesthetic goals, ensuring you get the best possible outcome with every visit.

Dysport® vs. Other Treatments

Dysport® and BOTOX® are both neuromodulators designed to minimize facial wrinkles, but they differ slightly in formulation and performance. Dysport’s smaller protein molecules allow it to spread more easily across larger areas, making it especially effective for treating the forehead. Some patients notice results sooner with Dysport, typically within 2 to 3 days.

At Aestheticare STL, we offer BOTOX, Dysport, and Jeuveau, customizing each treatment based on your needs. During your consultation, we’ll help you choose the best injectable for your facial anatomy and cosmetic goals.

What Dysport® Treats

Dysport® is formulated to address moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles—the lines formed by repetitive facial movements. It’s ideal for softening forehead creases, glabellar (frown) lines, and crow’s feet. It can also be used off label for concerns like bunny lines and excessive sweating.

At Aestheticare STL, our expert injectors create a personalized Dysport treatment plan tailored to your facial structure to enhance your natural beauty with subtle, effective results.

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.

The precision and technique used at Aestheticare STL ensure each injection is both effective and comfortable. We customize every treatment plan to suit the unique muscle activity and skin condition of each patient. This personalized approach allows for balanced, symmetrical results that enhance your natural beauty without overcorrection. Many clients appreciate the subtle transformation that maintains their expressiveness while reducing the signs of aging.

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 wanting to be treated.

Before the procedure, our providers will review your goals and identify the precise muscles that need treatment. This ensures efficient placement and optimal outcomes. Most clients schedule Dysport during their lunch break, with enough time to return to work or errands immediately after. The short treatment time is one of the reasons Dysport is such a popular option for facial rejuvenation.

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.

If you’re especially sensitive or concerned about discomfort, we can apply a topical numbing agent beforehand. Most patients are surprised at how quick and tolerable the treatment is. Mild redness or swelling may occur at the injection sites but typically fades within a few hours. Your comfort is always our priority from start to finish.

Step-by-Step Process

Your Dysport treatment begins with a personalized consultation at Aestheticare STL. We’ll assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and determine the ideal injection plan for natural-looking results. This ensures your treatment is safe, precise, and tailored uniquely to you.

Before injections, the treatment area is gently cleansed to remove makeup, oil, and impurities. This step creates a clean surface, reduces the risk of irritation, and prepares your skin for smooth, comfortable injections.

Using a fine needle, your provider carefully injects Dysport into the targeted facial muscles responsible for expression lines. The process is quick, with only minimal pressure or a slight pinch at each point. Most sessions take just 10–15 minutes.

Your injector may lightly massage the area to help evenly distribute the product and ensure optimal placement. Mild redness or tiny bumps may appear temporarily but typically fade within minutes.

You’ll receive simple aftercare instructions to support your results. Avoid rubbing the area, lying down, or doing strenuous exercise for several hours. Results begin to appear in 2–3 days, with full smoothing effects visible within a week.

How it works

Dysport® works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles that cause facial wrinkles. Relaxing these muscles prevents them from contracting and forming creases in the skin, allowing for smoother, younger-looking results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dysport®

Is Downtime Needed to Recover After Dysport® Treatment?

No downtime is needed. You can return to your daily activities right away. Just be sure to keep your head upright for at least four hours after your treatment. Avoid lying down or putting pressure on the treated areas during this time to allow the product to settle properly and ensure optimal results.

What Should You Not Do After Getting Dysport®?

Avoid touching or massaging the treated area, high heat (showers, saunas), tanning beds, and strenuous workouts for the first 24 hours to ensure optimal results. These precautions help prevent the neuromodulator from migrating to unintended areas, preserving the precision of your results and reducing potential side effects.

When Will I See My Dysport® Results?

Initial results typically appear within 2 to 3 days, with full effects noticeable by day 10 to 14. Everyone’s timeline is slightly different, so your final outcome may depend on factors like metabolism, muscle strength, and previous treatment history.

How Long Does Dysport® Last?

Dysport generally lasts about 3 to 4 months. Duration may vary based on the area treated and individual metabolism. Regular maintenance sessions help you sustain your smooth, youthful look with consistent, long-term wrinkle prevention.

How Much Does Dysport® Cost in St. Louis, MO?

The cost of Dysport treatment will depend on the depth and length of your frown lines and how many Dysport units are needed. After your personalized consultation, we will be able to tell you the specific cost of your treatment.

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.

What Can I Expect During My Dysport® Consultation at Aestheticare STL?

At Aestheticare STL, we offer complimentary personalized consultations so we can learn about your concerns and recommend the best treatment or combination of treatments for your needs. We’ll evaluate your medical history, assess your area(s) of concern, explain the treatment process, and answer any questions you might have about Dysport or other treatments.

Once we thoroughly understand your cosmetic goals and you have complete knowledge of the treatment, we will help determine if Dysport is ideal for you.

Will Dysport® Make My Face Look Frozen?

Dysport provides very natural-looking results, so you won’t look frozen or stiff after treatment. No one has to know you underwent Dysport injections unless you want to tell them.

Are There Any Side Effects With Dysport®?

Rare but potential side effects of Dysport include redness, itching, swelling, bruising, headache, nausea eyelid swelling, and drooping. These are typically harmless and resolve on their own within a few days to a few weeks. You can reduce your risk of Dysport side effects and adverse results by undergoing treatment with a qualified, experienced injector.

What Is the Difference Between BOTOX® and Dysport®?

Dysport is an injectable neuromodulator that works similarly to BOTOX Cosmetic. While they are both made from purified botulinum toxin type A, their formulations differ in molecular weight and thickness. This makes each product uniquely appropriate for various treatment areas and indications.

Dysport is mainly used for improving glabellar lines between the eyebrows, while BOTOX is indicated for treating multiple dynamic wrinkles. Dysport results tend to appear sooner and last longer than the results of BOTOX.

At Aestheticare STL, we offer both BOTOX and Dysport. 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.

How long does Dysport® take to start working?

Dysport usually starts working in 2 to 3 days, with full results in 10 to 14 days.

Can I exercise after getting Dysport® injections?

Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours to prevent product migration and support the best results.

What areas of the face can Dysport® treat?

It treats forehead lines, frown lines, crow’s feet, bunny lines, and other expression-based wrinkles.

Will I still be able to make facial expressions after Dysport®?

Yes! Dysport relaxes muscles without freezing your face, so you can still smile and frown naturally.

Can men benefit from Dysport® treatments too?

Absolutely. Dysport is effective for both men and women looking to reduce signs of aging.
