About Dysport
What is it?
Dysport is a brand name for a type of botulinum toxin type A injectable. Like Botox, Dysport is used for cosmetic and medical purposes, primarily for reducing the appearance of facial wrinkles and lines by temporarily paralyzing underlying muscles. It works by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract, thus relaxing them and smoothing out wrinkles.
In addition to its cosmetic uses, Dysport is also used medically to treat various conditions, including muscle spasms, cervical dystonia (a neurological movement disorder affecting the neck muscles), and even excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). It’s important to note that Dysport should only be administered by trained medical professionals due to its potency and potential side effects.
What to expect
The actual Dysport procedure is relatively quick and straightforward. Your provider will inject small amounts of Dysport directly into the muscles targeted for treatment using a fine needle. Depending on the areas being treated, the process typically takes around 10 to 30 minutes. ou may start to notice the effects of Dysport within a few days after treatment, with full results typically appearing within 1 to 2 weeks. Dysport temporarily relaxes the muscles, smoothing out wrinkles and lines in the treated areas. The results typically last for several months, after which you may choose to undergo additional treatments to maintain the effects.
After the procedure
Within a week after you should start to notice results, although this can vary from patient to patient. Over the following 3-4 months, the targeted wrinkles gradually vanish, and touch-up injections are suggested every 6 months in order to maintain the rejuvenating effects of the treatment..
