Guide
If you want to look more youthful, get rid of your wrinkles with Dysport in Point Pleasant, NJ.
Dysport is a popular cosmetic treatment that effectively reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines on the face. Smooth away the signs of worry, sun damage, and stress with this innovative neuromodulator injection.
What Is Dysport?
Dysport is a prescription injection containing botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxin that temporarily paralyzes specific muscles when injected into them. It is used primarily for cosmetic purposes to improve the appearance of wrinkles and lines, particularly on the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and between the eyebrows (glabellar lines).
Dysport can also help you hide a gummy smile. Similar to a lip flip, during a gummy smile treatment we inject a tiny amount of Dysport above your upper lip to relax the muscles, making your upper lip look fuller and hiding your gums. It’s totally quick and easy; you can even do it on your lunch break. You’ll start seeing a difference in your smile in about 2-3 days after your Dysport gummy smile treatment. It should look great for up to four months, but everyone’s different, so results can vary.
How Does It Work?
Dysport works by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions. When injected into specific facial muscles, it temporarily paralyzes them. This muscle relaxation results in the smoothing away of wrinkles and fine lines, creating a more youthful and refreshed appearance. Dysport’s effects typically last for several months.
The Dysport injection procedure is relatively quick, typically taking about 10 to 30 minutes. The treatment area will be cleansed to get rid of impurities and dirt. A topical numbing cream may be applied for your optimal comfort. Using a fine needle, the Dysport solution is injected into the targeted muscles.
Your Consultation
Your consultation for Dysport injections includes a physical examination of your target areas. An assessment of your facial anatomy and overall skin health will be performed to determine your eligibility for the procedure.
Your medical history will be reviewed to check if you have underlying conditions or current medications that are contraindicated to the treatment. A personalized plan will be created to address your cosmetic goals and desired outcome.
Am I a Candidate?
Ideal candidates for Dysport are generally healthy individuals who are bothered by the appearance of facial wrinkles and lines. While there is no specific age requirement, candidates are typically over the age of 18.
It’s important to note that you should not have allergic reactions to Botox and other botulinum toxin products. If you have neuromuscular conditions, you may be recommended for other treatments. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, you should not have the Dysport procedure.
Dysport Aftercare
Recovery following Dysport treatment is generally minimal, and most individuals can resume their normal activities immediately. Some mild bruising and swelling at the injection site may occur but will usually resolve within a few days. It may take a few days to start seeing the full effects of Dysport, with optimal results appearing within 1 to 2 weeks.
The effects of Dysport typically last 3 to 4 months, after which repeat treatments are necessary to maintain the results. While uncommon, potential side effects may include headaches, muscle weakness, and drooping eyelids. These effects are usually temporary.
How Much Does Dysport Cost?
The cost of your Dysport procedure varies for every patient, catering to individual needs and differing goals. The overall price will depend on factors like the number of units of Dysport that are used and any additional treatment sessions.
