What is Dysport?

Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to address wrinkles and fine lines, particularly those caused by repeated muscle movements, such as frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). It is derived from botulinum toxin type A, which temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for creating these wrinkles. LIke BOTOX, Dysport belongs to the family of injectables known as neuromodulators.

What are the benefits of Dysport?

  • Reduces wrinkles by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions
  • A convenient, non-surgical option for those seeking wrinkle reduction without the need for downtime
  • Provides natural-looking results, allowing patients to maintain facial expressions without the deep-set wrinkles
  • Starts to show results within a few days, with optimal results manifesting within two weeks

Who is a candidate for Dysport?

Dysport is an excellent option for individuals seeking to improve the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and fine lines. Candidates for Dysport generally:

  • Are in good overall health
  • Have a good understanding of the possibilities of the treatment
  • Are looking to reduce the appearance of wrinkles, particularly in areas such as the forehead, between the eyebrows, and crow's feet

What does the procedure entail?

The Dysport procedure is relatively quick and minimally invasive. It typically involves the following steps:

Consultation

Before the treatment, patients consult with a qualified practitioner, such as Dr. Paul Nassif, to discuss their goals, medical history, and any concerns they may have. Dr. Nassif carries out a thorough assessment to make sure that Dysport is suitable to the patient’s needs. 

Treatment

During the procedure, Dysport is injected directly into the targeted muscles using a fine needle.

Multiple injections may be required to achieve the patient’s desired results.

Recovery

Dysport injections require minimal downtime, allowing patients to resume their regular activities shortly after treatment.

Recovery process

The recovery process following Dysport injections is generally straightforward. Patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising around the injection sites, but these side effects typically subside within a few days. It is recommended that patients avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure immediately after the treatment.

Patients should follow post-procedural instructions provided by their practitioner, including any specific care recommendations. It's crucial to attend any scheduled follow-up appointments to ensure the best results and address any questions or concerns.

Are there any risks?

While Dysport is considered safe and well-tolerated, like any medical procedure, there are potential risks involved. These risks may include:

  • Temporary bruising or swelling at the injection sites
  • Mild discomfort or pain
  • Eyelid drooping or an uneven smile

Choosing a qualified and experienced practitioner like Dr. Nassif can help minimize these risks and ensure a successful outcome.
