Dysport 101: Why It’s Our Favorite For Fine Lines
Are you ready to smooth fine lines and wrinkles to maintain a beautiful, natural appearance? With a neurotoxin like Dysport, you can do just that — and more!
What Is Dysport and How Does It Work?
One of the best treatment to erase signs of aging is Dysport, a neurotoxin injectable treatment that temporarily improves the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Botox and Dysport are similar neurotoxins, but Dysport has smaller molecules, making the two have different unit counts. Dysport, like Botox, prevents the underlying muscles from contracting by injecting it directly into the target area. When our licensed aestheticians administer the neurotoxin, the muscles around the treatment area will relax and loosen creating a smooth surface restoring your youthful appearance.
What Areas Can Dysport Treat?
By targeting specific facial muscles, Dysport provides a comprehensive approach to a smoother, more youthful appearance. With Dysport, you can improve the appearance of:
Forehead Lines -
Getting rid of those forehead lines is easier than ever with Dysport. Dysport relaxes the muscles that cause forehead wrinkles, resulting in a smoother appearance. Applying a bit of Dysport on the forehead can treat the wrinkles and lines to give you back that youthful look.
Glabellar Lines (Scowl Lines) -
In the muscles between the eyebrows, there are vertical frown lines, commonly known as "11 lines". A quick application of Dysport can help smooth these wrinkles for a refreshed look. Using Dysport, frown lines are reduced, making you look more relaxed and youthful.
Crow's Feet -
These are the infamous wrinkles carved out in the outer corners of the eyes. By softening the muscles around the eyes, Dysport reduces the appearance of crow's feet and promotes a youthful appearance.
Brow Lift -
A brow lift is a quick way to transform the face by making the eyes appear wider, helping rid that tired or sad look that often accompanies sagging brows. Dysport can be strategically injected into the muscles that pull the eyebrows downward allowing for a raise in the brows, resulting in a subtle, non-surgical brow lift.
Bunny Lines -
Bunny lines are lines on the nose that appear when scrunching or wrinkling the nose. Dysport, however, fades away these lines, leaving behind smooth, beautiful skin by relaxing the muscles causing bunny lines.
Platysmal Bands -
Platysmal bands are vertical lines on the neck that are often associated with aging. By relaxing the platysmal bands, Dysport can improve the neck's overall texture and reduce these lines' appearance.
What Can I Expect From My Dysport Appointment?
During your consultation, you can discuss whether Dysport is the right neurotoxin that best fits your needs and desired outcomes. During the examination, we will note the severity of dynamic wrinkles on your forehead. Then, a Dysport treatment appointment will be scheduled if we determine that it is appropriate for your needs! Dr. Ode has over 20 years of injection experience to ensure each treatment is effective, safe, and customized for you.
At your Dysport appointment, we will start by cleansing the injection site. Dysport dosage will vary depending on the severity of frown lines. With a fine needle, Dysport is injected into the skin. Most patients report minimal discomfort during the procedure, but a topical anesthetic can be applied to minimize discomfort if needed. An average Dysport appointment only lasts about 15-20 minutes, so once your treatment is finished, you can resume your normal activities right away!
When Will I Begin To See Results?
Dysport results can vary depending on the individual, but most people notice improvement within two to four days. Compared to some other cosmetic treatments, results usually appear sooner.
Dysport's effects are known for lasting for a long time. Generally, people enjoy the benefits for three to four months, although individual experiences may vary. Eventually, as the effects wear off, individuals may undergo maintenance treatments to maintain the desired results.
There are many factors that affect the longevity of Dysport results, including how much is administered, an individual's metabolism, and the specific areas that are treated.
