What is Dysport®?
Dysport® is a prescription medication that contains botulinum toxin type A, which is a purified neurotoxin protein that temporarily paralyzes or relaxes muscle activity. Dysport® is used for cosmetic purposes to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.
Dysport® works by blocking nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and lines caused by repetitive muscle movements, such as frowning or squinting.
Procedure
The procedure for administering Dysport® typically takes only a few minutes, but the total time can vary depending on the individual and the areas being treated.
Recovery
The recovery time for Dysport® injections is typically very short. Most people are able to return to their normal daily activities immediately after the procedure.
Results
Dysport® is effective at reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, especially in the forehead, between the eyebrows, and around the eyes (crow's feet).
Benefits of Dysport®
Who Qualifies for Dysport®?
Generally, individuals who are in good overall health and do not have any medical conditions that would make them unsuitable candidates for the procedure may qualify for Dysport® injections. However, it’s important to discuss any medical conditions or concerns with your healthcare professional before undergoing the procedure.
Additionally, Dysport® may not be suitable for individuals who:
- Are allergic to botulinum toxin or any of the other ingredients in Dysport®
- Have a skin infection or inflammation at the injection site
- Have a history of neuromuscular disorders, such as myasthenia gravis or Lambert-Eaton syndrome
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
What to Expect?
Prior to receiving Dysport® injections, you can expect to have a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional to discuss your medical history, expectations, and any concerns you may have. On the day of the procedure, you should arrive with a clean, makeup-free face. The healthcare professional will assess the areas to be treated and mark the injection sites with a pen or marker. A small amount of Dysport® will be injected into the targeted muscles using a very fine needle. Most people experience minimal discomfort during the injection process. After the injection, the healthcare professional may provide specific post-treatment instructions, such as avoiding rubbing or massaging the treated area for several hours to prevent the medication from spreading to other muscles. You may be scheduled for a follow-up appointment to assess the results and determine if additional treatments are necessary.
