Dysport®

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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. Both are purified botulinum toxin type A but differ in formulation and how they spread. Dysport often takes effect a little sooner (about 2 to 3 days) and spreads more, which can suit larger areas like the forehead. BOTOX is more precise for targeted areas. Both typically last three to four months. At your consultation we recommend the better fit for your goals. 

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.

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