Dysport at Medical Skin Therapeutics

Dysport is an FDA-approved, nonsurgical option for temporarily erasing the wrinkles that form on your forehead and between your eyebrows. Our highly-trained practitioner uses a series of injections at targeted points to improve the overall smoothness of your face. 

Our many facial muscles are essential for nonverbally displaying our emotions but over time the repetitive motion of these muscles can create persistent and stubborn fine lines. Dysport contains botulinum toxin, also used in Botox injections, which works by temporarily blocking muscle contractions for up to five months. This relaxes your underlying facial muscles to reduce the look of wrinkles and allows your skin to naturally appear more smooth. 

At Medical Skin Therapeutics, we would be happy to discuss whether Dysport is the right option for you to achieve a younger and fresher appearance. Following an initial consultation, the procedure is usually performed in one session and lasts only 10-to-20 minutes. With minimal discomfort and virtually no recovery time, you will be able to return to your normal life immediately, and will begin to notice the wrinkle-eliminating effects of Dysport within a few days. After five months, when the effects of your initial Dysport treatment begin to diminish, we would be happy to welcome you back to our medical spa for follow-up maintenance treatments.

Before and After Photos 

The results of Dysport are not visible immediately, however you should begin to notice the smoother appearance of your frown lines and forehead wrinkles within 2-3 days. While your face will still maintain it’s full range of expressions, Dysport will continue to relax the underlying muscles responsible for the unwanted wrinkles for up to five months. Repeated treatments are recommended to maintain your desired look.

Please note that individual results after a Dysport treatment may vary. We cannot guarantee that every client will achieve these or similar results. Some clients may have undergone additional services offered at our spa. 

What to expect before, during and after the treatment 

Your rejuvenation journey at our spa will begin with a consultation with one of our highly-trained practitioners who will go over any areas of concern and answer all of your questions about Dysport. Our practitioner will evaluate your skin and decide where the injections should be placed for maximum effect. During this initial meeting, our practitioner will also discuss any pre- and post-treatment care instructions to ensure you are fully prepared and comfortable with the procedure. 

During your treatment, our practitioner will use the Dysport injections to relax the facial muscles responsible for your unwanted wrinkles. This procedure is painless and extremely quick, usually lasting less than ten minutes. The majority of our clients report no discomfort at all. 

With no healing or downtime, you will be able to return to your normal activities immediately.  

You should begin to see the smoothing effects of Dysport 2-3 days following your treatment. The fast-acting results of the procedure are a major benefit and will leave you with a natural-looking wrinkle reduction on your forehead and between your eyebrows that will last for up to five months. 

Following your initial Dysport treatment, we recommend follow-up treatments every six months to maintain your youthful, wrinkle-free look.

FAQ

How does a Dysport treatment compare with Botox?

While Dysport and Botox both treat wrinkles using botulinum toxin injections, the effects of a Dysport treatment may be seen sooner. Additionally, Dysport generally targets fine lines between the eyebrows and on the forehead, while Botox is often also used for wrinkles on other facial areas.  

Is Dysport recommended for younger clients?

While a Dysport treatment is often sought by our older clients, frown lines can develop from repetitive facial movements in those of any age. Therefore, we recommend this procedure for any adult who is unhappy with the appearance of their moderate-to-severe forehead or eyebrow wrinkles. 

Dysport is also effective as a preventative treatment for facial wrinkles, reducing the severity and depth of fine lines before they fully develop. 

How long do the effects of the treatment last?

Dysport treatments will typically last for up to five months. Follow-up Dysport treatments will ensure you can maintain a smooth facial appearance.

Is the procedure safe?

Dysport is a noninvasive procedure with minimal downtime and is very safe. Additionally, the injections used are very small and should cause no pain. We would be pleased to discuss any concerns during your initial consultation. 

Does insurance cover the procedure?

Insurance does not typically cover the cost of cosmetic procedures such as Dysport. Additionally, Medical Skin Therapeutics does not accept insurance.
