What is Dysport?

Dysport, a newer alternative to Botox, is a prescription botulinum toxin type A injectable designed to reduce moderate to deep frown lines between the eyebrows, also called glabellar lines.

Like Botox, Dysport is a neuromodulator that relaxes muscles to reduce wrinkles. However, Dysport treats deep wrinkles, while Botox can target smaller wrinkles, such as laugh lines around the eyes. During the procedure, botulinum toxin type A is injected into five points between and above the eyebrows, relaxing the muscles that cause 11s, or frown lines between the eyebrows.

Dysport Benefits

Dysport is a highly effective and popular treatment for reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, offering a refreshed and youthful look without the need for surgery. Unlike some other injectables, Dysport spreads more evenly, making it ideal for treating larger areas with dynamic wrinkles. Patients love Dysport for its ability to quickly provide natural-looking results, typically within a few days, and for its lasting smoothness, usually around three to four months. This treatment helps you look rejuvenated while maintaining your natural expressions, so you won't end up with a "frozen" face.

Some of the key benefits of Dysport include:

  • Quick Results: Noticeable improvement in just a few days.
  • Long-Lasting Effects: Smooth, youthful skin for about three to four months.
  • Natural Appearance: Maintains natural facial expressions.
  • Minimal Discomfort: Fine-gauge needles and optional numbing cream make the process comfortable.
  • Versatility: Effective on multiple areas, including forehead lines, crow's feet, and frown lines.
  • Convenient: Quick treatment sessions that fit into a busy schedule.
  • Non-Surgical: No incisions or downtime required.

With Dysport, you can enjoy a smoother, more youthful appearance with a treatment that's both effective and convenient, allowing you to return to your daily activities almost immediately.

HOW THE DYSPORT TREATMENT WORKS

Dysport effectively addresses wrinkles and fine lines by minimizing the activity of targeted muscles. The formation of wrinkles is attributed to the repetitive movement and contraction of muscles, making them a concern even for younger individuals.

A single injection is administered at each of the five points situated above and between the eyebrows. This temporary intervention inhibits muscle contractions responsible for frown lines, while allowing the remaining facial muscles to move freely and naturally. In essence, it ensures a naturally expressive appearance without any stiffness, offering you control over your appearance rather than being controlled by it. This is what sets Dysport apart.

How long does Dysport last?

Say goodbye to frown lines. Your valuable time should be spent on more meaningful endeavors rather than fixating on the appearance of wrinkles on your forehead. With a single treatment of Dysport Boston patients may experience a noticeable enhancement in the appearance of their frown lines, which can last for up to 4 months.

The majority of individuals who receive Dysport in Boston witness visible improvements within just 2–3 days following the procedure. Subsequent treatments may yield results similar to your initial usage. Another advantage is the minimal to no recovery time required after the treatment, allowing Boston Dysport patients to promptly resume their daily activities.

Dysport Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from Dysport is typically quick and easy, allowing you to return to your daily routine with minimal downtime. After the treatment, you might notice some mild redness and swelling around the injection sites, but this usually subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. To ensure the best results and minimize any discomfort, it's recommended to avoid strenuous activities, alcohol, and exposure to direct sunlight for at least 24 hours following the procedure. Keeping your head elevated and using cold compresses can help reduce any swelling.

For optimal results, follow these simple aftercare tips:

  • Avoid Touching or Rubbing the Treated Area: This helps prevent the spread of the toxin to unintended muscles.
  • Stay Upright for a Few Hours: Avoid lying down or bending over immediately after the injections.
  • Skip Intense Workouts: Light activities are fine, but hold off on vigorous exercise for about 24 hours.
  • Postpone Facials or Massages: These should be avoided for at least 48 hours to prevent any unintended effects on the treated areas.

Dysport Results

Dysport delivers noticeable results that help you look refreshed and rejuvenated, with smoother skin appearing just a few days after treatment. You can expect to see a significant reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, particularly around the forehead and eyes. The results of Dysport are both natural and effective, ensuring that you maintain your facial expressions while enjoying a more youthful look.

The longevity of Dysport results is another reason why patients love this treatment. Typically, the effects last for about three to four months, and with regular maintenance treatments, you can enjoy continuous improvement in your skin's appearance. Patients appreciate how Dysport not only smooths out wrinkles but also provides a boost in confidence, helping them feel their best in both personal and professional settings.

How Much Does Dysport Cost?

The cost of Dysport treatments can vary depending on several factors, including the number of units required and the specific areas being treated. On average, Dysport is typically priced between $4 and $8 per unit. The total cost of your treatment will depend on your individual needs and goals, which can be determined during your consultation with Dr. Joseph Russo. It's important to note that Dysport is often considered a more cost-effective option compared to Botox, as it generally requires fewer units to achieve similar results.
