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 offers a more natural look

1

What Is Dysport®?

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.

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 wanting to treat

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.

What to Expect After Dysport®: Downtime, Recovery and Results

1

Is Downtime Needed to Recover After Dysport® Treatment?

You will not need to plan for any downtime after Dysport. You can resume most of your daily activities as usual, but keep your head upright (do not lie down) for the first four hours after your procedure.

2

What Should You Not Do After Getting Dysport®?

For the first day after your Dysport treatment, we recommend avoiding the following:

  • Touching, massaging, or rubbing the treatment area
  • Excessive heat
  • Hot showers
  • Saunas
  • Hot tubs
  • Tanning beds
  • Strenuous workouts
3

When Will I See My Dysport® Results?

You’ll typically see initial Dysport results within a few days, but the full effect usually takes about 10-14 days to become noticeable as the treated muscles fully relax.

4

How Long Does Dysport® Last?

Dysport’s effects typically last 3 to 4 months but can vary depending on individual factors such as metabolism and the area treated.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
