Dysport Injections: Everything You Need to Know

Frown lines on the forehead and between the eyebrows can make you look tired, angry, and old. Dysport is an in-office, minimally invasive injection treatment that can reduce the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles.

What is Dysport used for?

Dysport is a non-surgical treatment similar to Botox and is used to restore a youthful appearance. Dysport is used to reduce the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles for cosmetic rejuvenation of the aging face. It is also used to treat certain medical conditions like cervical dystonia and muscle spasticity.

How does Dysport work?

Dysport works by softening the underlying facial muscles that cause wrinkles in the upper portion of the face. With the relaxation of the facial muscles, there is smoothening of the skin in the treated area.

What happens during Dysport treatment?

Dysport is injected into carefully selected areas by our Master Injector, Trisha Kennedy, MSN, FNP-BC, NP-C. These areas are selected based on the goals you discuss with Trisha and your individual facial anatomy.

The entire process is quick and easy. Dysport injections can be done in less than 30 minutes. There is no downtime, and you can resume all normal activities right away. Other than avoiding rubbing or massaging the treated area for 24 hours, there is no special aftercare required.

How long do Dysport injections last?

Dysport results usually appear within 2-3 days and last for 3-4 months on average.

How often should you get Dysport?

Most people get Dysport treatments every 3-4 months. However, everyone has unique anatomy and will respond differently to a treatment.

What are the risks and side effects of Dysport?

Common side effects after Dysport injections include discomfort, numbness, and headaches. These are usually temporary and go away quickly. More severe adverse effects can include droopy eyelids and muscle spasms. Very rarely, Dysport can cause serious side effects like trouble breathing, swallowing, or speaking.

Is Dysport as good as Botox?

Both Dysport and Botox are brand names of a specific type of medical treatment. They are both safe and effective injectable cosmetic treatments for wrinkles that work in the same way. Dysport is manufactured and distributed by a different company than Botox, so you can think of these treatments as “Coke” and “Pepsi.”

How to find a provider for Dysport injections?

You should choose a licensed and certified provider for your Dysport treatments. Our Master Injector, Trisha Kennedy, MSN, FNP-BC, NP-C, has years of experience utilizing Dysport and teaches other medical professionals (including doctors and nurses) how to inject Dysport for amazing results. Like any other medical treatment, experience plays a large role in determining your final results. Therefore, you should always choose a medical aesthetic provider that has enough experience to help you meet your goals.
