Dysport is an injectable treatment option similar to Botox®. Dysport can effectively smooth frown lines in the forehead without the need for surgery or extensive downtime, which is why neuromodulators have become a preferred non-surgical option among patients looking to refresh and refine their profile.
There are specific advantages to Dysport over Botox, including quicker results and more potent formula, although results may not last as long. During your injectable consultation, Dr. Zieg can recommend the right product for your unique aesthetic goals.
Dysport can be effective for many different patients, although certain allergies or history of reactions should be discussed with Dr. Zieg during your consultation.
Patients that benefit most from Dysport are those with severe forehead wrinkles and who have realistic expectations of what results non-surgical treatments can achieve.
Dysport is classified as a neuromodulator, which means that it prevents signals from the brain from reaching the neural receptors in muscles. This temporary paralysis prevents certain muscle tissue from moving and creating wrinkles and lines.
Dr. Zieg can supply a topical numbing cream during your treatment session for maximum comfort, and most patients tolerate this procedure well. Once you’re comfortable, Dr. Zieg will carefully inject the product into the muscles of the brow using small, precise injections to ensure the product is placed correctly. Overall, this process can take as little as fifteen minutes and can sometimes be performed at the same time as other non-surgical procedures.
Dysport doesn’t require any downtime after treatment, although it’s important to avoid rubbing or massaging the treatment area, as this can cause the product to migrate to unwanted areas. It can take a few days after treatment for the product to fully take effect, so be sure to report any side effects you experience during this time to Dr. Zieg. Most patients experience only minor swelling or bruising at the injection site, which resides quickly.
Dysport can last from three to four months, after which you can opt for additional treatments. During this period, you’ll notice a smoother, less heavy brow with a reduction in wrinkles and lines.
