Dysport®

When you are feeling a blow to your confidence due to the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles on your face, you don’t just have to live with these changes. Injectable neuromodulators are here to help restore your youthful appearance and your confidence at the same time. At Rocheford Plastic Surgery we offer cosmetic injectables like Dysport to help treat fine lines and wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyebrows, eyes, and mouth. Youthful rejuvenation is only a few injections away.

What is Dysport®?

Dysport® is an injectable treatment for adults who wish to smooth the appearance of lines between the eyebrows and around the mouth. Made of Botulinum Toxin Type A, Dysport® blocks nerve signals that tell muscles to contract, resulting in a smoother, more youthful appearance.

Cost of Dysport®

The cost of your Dysport treatment depends on how many injections you receive. The number of injections needed for your treatment will depend on what area, or areas, of the face are being treated and the severity of your concerns.

Who is a Good Candidate for Dysport®?

Patients who are unhappy with wrinkles and lines in their faces can greatly benefit from Dysport® injections. These injections work best in patients under 65 years of age who are seeking an improvement in their facial features. Patients who are allergic to cow’s milk protein should not receive this injectable. Those with an allergy to botulinum toxin type A should not receive Dysport injections as a serious reaction can occur.

The Procedure

Dysport® injections are done in-office and are often done in less than 15 minutes. A small needle is used to inject Dysport® into the facial muscles to weaken wrinkle-prone muscles. The number of injections will depend on the individual’s cosmetic goals, though most patients receive between two and five injections.

Signs of facial aging begin in the thirties. Common areas include the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet. These areas can all be treated with either BOTOX or Dysport. These medicines will stop the muscles from creating those wrinkles. The goal is to minimize lines and shadows on the face while restoring smooth skin, not overdo things.

Dysport® Recovery

After receiving Dysport® injections, patients may experience mild swelling and bruising, which should resolve quickly. There is no downtime associated with this treatment, so patients can return to their everyday activities immediately. Results are often visible after two days and can last for four months.

Dysport® FAQs

How long does it take for Dysport to settle?

Many patients see the results from Dysport in as little as 3 days. It is important to note that his number can change from patient to patient.

Is Dysport weaker than Botox?

Dysport is a more diluted form of botulinum toxin. While more units of Dysport may be needed to treat specific areas than Botox, the results are the same. Both are highly effective for treating fine lines and wrinkles.

How long does Dysport last in the forehead?

Patients report that Dysport lasts around 3 months on average.

What should you not do after Dysport?

After having Dysport injections, you should avoid harsh sun exposure, not press on the treatment area, not exercise, and not drink alcohol for 24 hours. You will also want to avoid laying directly on the treatment area for at least 4 hours. This will prevent unwanted product migration.
