What is Dysport?

Dysport, akin to BOTOX, harnesses the power of botulinum toxin in a safe, effective form. It is renowned for temporarily reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, making it a preferred choice for those seeking non-invasive facial rejuvenation. Since gaining FDA approval in 2009, Dysport has become widely recognized for its efficiency in addressing frown lines with precision.

For those considering Dysport in Austin, it offers a trusted solution with a strong safety record and consistently reliable results. Its convenience adds to its appeal—many patients easily fit treatments into their schedules, often during lunch breaks, allowing for subtle yet noticeable improvements without disrupting daily life.

Dysport Overview

What Can You Expect?

Dynamic wrinkles form over time due to repetitive facial movements, creating lines and furrows. Dysport, a safe and non-invasive treatment, expertly smooths out these facial wrinkles, providing a rejuvenated look that can last for several months. While Dysport's effects are temporary, consistent treatments can extend the duration of results.

How Does a Dysport Treatment Work?

Dysport, like BOTOX, acts as a neuromodulator, effectively relaxing dynamic lines and wrinkles resulting from facial muscle activity. Dysport has the ability to block muscular signals, preventing the face from contracting. A skilled Dysport injector can achieve a natural look, allowing patients to express themselves while reducing unwanted wrinkles. 

If you’re considering Dysport in Austin, treatments typically last about 3 to 4 months, though individual results may vary based on factors like muscle strength and metabolism. To maintain the best outcomes, it's important to follow a consistent schedule of treatments guided by a qualified professional.

Dysport Vs. Botox

Dysport stands out as a popular alternative to BOTOX, sharing similar ingredients and FDA approval for addressing frown lines and wrinkles. Both treatments temporarily immobilize facial muscles, effectively smoothing fine lines, restoring a youthful appearance, and improving resting facial expressions. Dysport often offers an affordable alternative with lasting results that differ between individuals. During your consultation with our specialist, you can discuss the unique benefits of Dysport tailored to your needs.

Dermal Fillers

While Dysport and BOTOX target dynamic wrinkles, static wrinkles caused by volume loss require a different approach. Dermal fillers, composed of biocompatible materials like hyaluronic acid, prove effective in addressing these wrinkles that remain even when the face is at rest. Injectables offer a non-invasive solution to rejuvenate sunken areas, providing an excellent option for those averse to surgery. Our Austin practice provides various injectables, and our specialists can guide you in choosing the right one during a consultation.

What to Expect During and After Dysport

Patients often wonder about post-treatment experiences.

Topical ice or, if preferred, a topical cream is used to minimize discomfort during treatment.

Administered with a 32-gauge needle, patients typically experience minimal discomfort, with any pain subsiding once the injections are complete. While minor bruising, redness, or swelling may occur, these side effects are transient.

Dysport typically begins to take effect within a few days, with increasing effectiveness during the first week. Full effects may take up to 2 weeks. Results last for 3 to 4 months on average, varying with the treatment area, muscle strength, and past treatments.
