Dysport®

How Does Dysport® Work?

Dysport® works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to the muscles responsible for facial expressions. When these muscles relax, the overlying skin becomes smoother, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. The treatment is specifically designed to address dynamic wrinkles, which are lines that form from repetitive muscle movements.

What Areas Can Dysport® be Used to Treat?

Dysport® is commonly used to treat the following areas:

• Frown Lines: The vertical lines between the eyebrows.
• Crow’s Feet: The lines at the outer corners of the eyes.
• Forehead Lines: The horizontal lines across the forehead.

What are the Benefits of Dysport®?

Dysport® offers numerous benefits for those looking to reduce facial lines and wrinkles:

• Quick Procedure: Sessions are typically completed within 10-20 minutes.
• Minimal Discomfort: The injections are generally well-tolerated, with a sensation similar to a small pinch.
• No Downtime: Patients can return to their normal routines immediately after treatment.
• Natural-Looking Results: Dysport® provides subtle enhancements that preserve your natural expressions.
• Long-Lasting Effects: Results can last up to four months, depending on individual factors.

Is Dysport® Right for Me?

Dysport® is an excellent option for adults seeking to diminish the appearance of facial wrinkles without undergoing invasive procedures. Ideal candidates are those who:

• Have moderate to severe frown lines, crow’s feet, or forehead lines.
• Are in good overall health.
• Have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the treatment.

During your consultation at Arizona Skin, we’ll assess your specific needs and goals to determine if Dysport® is the appropriate treatment for you.

What Happens During a Dysport® Treatment?

Before your Dysport® treatment, a thorough facial analysis will be conducted to identify the best injection sites. We’ll explain the procedure and answer any questions you may have. The actual injection process takes about 10-20 minutes. Dysport® is administered using a fine needle to inject the solution into the targeted muscles. The discomfort is minimal, often described as a slight pinch, and numbing cream or ice can be applied to enhance comfort. There is no significant downtime required after Dysport® injections. Patients can immediately resume their daily activities. However, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise and excessive sun exposure for the first 24 hours to ensure optimal results.

When Will I See Results from Dysport®?

Results from Dysport® can start to appear within 24 to 48 hours, with full effects visible within two weeks. The smooth, youthful appearance typically lasts up to four months, after which follow-up treatments are necessary to maintain the results.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dysport®

Side effects are generally mild and may include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. These effects usually resolve within a few days.

The number of Dysport® treatments required varies depending on individual goals and the areas being treated. Most patients benefit from treatments every three to four months.
