Dysport Injections

Pertinent Information:

• Procedure Duration: Each session lasts approximately 15-30 minutes, depending on the treatment area.
• Ideal Candidates: Suitable for adults aged 18-65 seeking to diminish the appearance of moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines. Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding individuals or those with certain medical conditions.
• Treatment Area(s): Commonly treated areas include the glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows), crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles.
• Expected Results: Clients often notice results within 2-3 days of treatment, with full effects visible within a week. Results typically last 3-4 months, and regular treatments are recommended to maintain the effect.
• Downtime: Minimal to none; clients can return to normal activities immediately after treatment, though strenuous exercise, lying down, or massaging the treated area should be avoided for at least 4 hours.
• Technology Used: Dysport contains botulinum toxin type A, which temporarily blocks nerve signals to targeted muscles, reducing muscle contractions and softening wrinkles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

Q1: How does Dysport work?
A: Dysport works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. By relaxing these muscles, Dysport smooths the skin and reduces the appearance of wrinkles without affecting other facial areas.

Q2: How is Dysport different from Botox?
A: While both Dysport and Botox are botulinum toxin type A treatments, Dysport is formulated with smaller molecules, allowing it to diffuse more easily across larger treatment areas. This makes it a great option for broader areas like the forehead or for clients seeking faster onset of results.

Q3: Is Dysport painful?
A: Dysport involves small, quick injections and is generally well-tolerated. Most clients describe the sensation as a mild pinch. If needed, a topical numbing cream can be applied before treatment for additional comfort.

Q4: How long does Dysport last?
A: Dysport typically lasts 3-4 months, depending on factors like your metabolism, lifestyle, and the area treated. Consistent maintenance treatments help ensure lasting results.

Q5: Are there any side effects or downtime?
A: Side effects are minimal and may include slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, which usually resolves within a day or two. Rare side effects, such as temporary asymmetry, will be discussed during your consultation. There is no significant downtime, but clients should avoid rubbing the treated area, lying down, or exercising for at least 4 hours post-treatment.

Q6: Can Dysport be combined with other treatments?
A: Yes, Dysport can be combined with other procedures like dermal fillers, chemical peels, or laser treatments to achieve comprehensive rejuvenation. We’ll recommend a personalized combination during your consultation.

Q7: Will Dysport make my face look frozen?
A: No, Dysport provides natural-looking results when administered by a trained professional. You’ll still be able to express yourself while enjoying smoother, rejuvenated skin.
