What Is Dysport?

Like BOTOX, Dysport is an injectable that corrects the appearance of dynamic lines formed while the face is in motion. It is ideal for treating wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes that emerge as a result of laughing, smiling, squinting, or frowning. Dysport works by temporarily incapacitating the tiny facial muscles that contract to form unwanted lines and creases. By blocking the nerve signals to the brain that tell the muscles to contract, Dysport helps the skin to relax and appear smooth, supple, and rejuvenated. For patients who have built up a tolerance to BOTOX, Dysport can serve as a viable alternative. Treatments take just minutes to complete and the entire process is painless and stress-free. Results with Dysport typically last 3-4 months.

What Can I Expect During My Dysport Session?

Dysport injections typically take around 10-20 minutes to complete. To ensure your comfort, your skin can be numbed with a topical anesthetic prior to your session. Once you are relaxed and ready, your provider will use a fine gauge needle to inject Dysport into the points outlined in your personalized treatment plan. The goal is to create a smoother forehead and brow and a more appealing, youthful look around the eyes.

After Dysport

After your Dysport injections in Chicago, there is little to no downtime to contend with. You will be able to resume your normal activities within four hours after your treatment. You may feel a slight amount of soreness or inflammation at the injection sites, but these symptoms fade within a day or so. Try to avoid strenuous exercise for around 24-48 hours, as this can exasperate any mild swelling or redness. For the first 4 hours, avoid lying down, scratching or picking at your skin, and hot showers, saunas, or hot tubs. Results typically last around 3-4 months. However, you can repeat your treatment as needed to maintain your rejuvenation results indefinitely.

Are Dysport Injections Painful?

Prior to your injections, your provider can numb your skin with a topical anesthetic to ensure a pain-free and stress-free treatment journey. An ultra-fine needle is used, which further prevents discomfort. Most patients say they can hardly feel anything when the needle goes in.

Are There Any Side Effects?

While negative reactions to Dysport are rare, patients with allergies and sensitivities to cow proteins may want to avoid the treatment. For most, mild swelling, redness, and tenderness at the injection sites are the only symptoms that cause a problem. These types of side effects typically last a day or so at most.

How Long Does It Take for Dysport to Work?

While patients will be able to notice positive changes in their appearance after around 3-5 days, complete relaxation of the targeted muscles usually occurs at around two weeks after Dysport injections.

How Long Do Dysport Results Last?

Results with Dysport usually last around 3-4 months. However, each person is unique, and some patients have reported that their improvements have lasted up to 6 months.

How Long Should You Wait to Exercise After Dysport Injections?

If you exercise right away after your injections, it can reduce the effectiveness of Dysport by interfering with its proper absorption. Therefore, it is recommended that you wait a day or so before returning to your workout regimen.

Will Dysport Make Me Look Unnatural?

Dysport is known to provide a natural-looking transformation when injections are administered by knowledgeable, experienced practitioners, such as those at Gold Coast Plastic Surgery in Chicago, IL. Signs of aging, like frown lines and crow’s feet, will be softened without compromising facial spontaneity and individuality.
