Dysport

Dysport® is an injectable treatment that, like BOTOX®, limits the muscle contractions that produce facial wrinkles and creases. However, there are some differences between the two.

Dysport: A Subtle, Natural Look

Many of our patients love the look Dysport achieves because it’s so subtle and natural-looking. It allows for more expressiveness while smoothing lines and wrinkles, creases on the forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet, and worry lines between the eyebrows.

Should I Try Dysport? All About Candidates

Are you ready for an anti-aging treatment that looks extremely natural? Because Dysport treatments are safe and effective, most people who want to correct lines and wrinkles are typically good candidates for this treatment. The best patients for Dysport:

Are over the age of 18
Want to correct facial lines and wrinkles
Are in overall good health
Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
Do not have any type of neurological disorder
Have a realistic awareness of what Dysport can do

Dysport vs. BOTOX

Both Dysport and BOTOX are neuromodulators with similar active ingredients, but they have been developed with slightly different formulas. The thinner formula in Dysport is often the injectable of choice for those who want a more subtle, natural-looking result. Dysport injections are known to last longer, work faster, get a more relaxed and natural look, and allow more facial expressiveness to be maintained. However, because of the thinner formula, more Dysport may be required than BOTOX.

Dysport is about 20% less expensive than BOTOX, but may require more of the product
BOTOX may take longer to show noticeable results than Dysport
Both Dysport and BOTOX require a touch-up after a few months
Dysport’s formula is thinner and diffuses more quickly, creating a more natural look for some patients

Dysport Treatment: What to Expect

A Dysport treatment takes only a few minutes to perform. Before the injections, we will cleanse and prep your skin. The locations of the injections and how many you receive will depend on the depth of your lines, wrinkles, and creases.

Your face will be cleansed and the injections will be administered into targeted areas of the face. Dysport injections are almost completely painless. The needle we use is thin and feels like a small pinch as the Dysport is injected. After the injections are complete, we will ask you to make different facial expressions so the Dysport can settle properly.

The care with which we perform injections makes the difference in results. At the Beck Aesthetic Surgery medspa, all procedures are performed under the guidance of Dr. Joel Beck, one of the most accomplished plastic surgeons in the area.

Downtime and Results

Dysport injections are non-surgical and involve no downtime after treatment. Side effects, which are typically minor (redness or minor bruising at the injection site) fade quickly. The thinner formula of Dysport may make it your anti-aging injection of choice, as results can be seen more quickly than with BOTOX. Dysport results are noticeable within two to three days following treatment, and can last four to six months.
