DYSPORT®

Dysport is an FDA-approved treatment that has been extensively studied and deemed safe when administered by a qualified healthcare professional. However, like any medical procedure, it carries some risks, which will be discussed during your consultation.

Discomfort during Dysport treatment is generally minimal. The needles used for injections are fine, and most individuals describe the sensation as a slight pinch. If desired, a topical anesthetic can be applied to the treatment area to further reduce any discomfort.

Common side effects of Dysport are temporary and mild, including bruising, redness, swelling, and headache. These typically resolve within a few days after the treatment.

While allergic reactions to abobotulinumtoxinA are rare, it is important to be aware of potentially more serious side effects. In some cases, individuals may experience injection site pain, temporary drooping eyelids, or mild discomfort. However, it is crucial to seek immediate medical attention if you develop any severe symptoms such as breathing problems or difficulty swallowing.

The effects of Dysport typically last around three to four months. Individual results may vary, and some individuals may experience longer-lasting effects with subsequent treatments.

While individual experiences may vary, most patients begin to see the effects of Dysport within 3 to 5 days after the treatment. However, it’s important to note that full results may take up to 2 weeks to become apparent.

Yes, Dysport is also FDA-approved for the treatment of excessive underarm sweating, a condition known as primary axillary hyperhidrosis. The injections work by temporarily blocking the nerve signals responsible for activating the sweat glands.

Following Dysport treatment, it is generally advised to avoid lying down or engaging in vigorous exercise for at least 4 hours. Additionally, you should refrain from rubbing or massaging the treated area to prevent the spreading of the toxin to unintended muscles.

Dysport treatments can typically be repeated every 3 to 4 months, or as advised by your provider. Regular maintenance treatments are necessary to sustain the desired results.

Yes, in fact, many of our patients choose to combine muscle relaxants like Dysport with dermal fillers to enhance the overall results of the treatment. While Dysport primarily targets wrinkles caused by muscle contractions, dermal fillers work by adding volume to areas that have lost elasticity or have deep creases, lines, or folds.

While Dysport is generally safe and effective for most individuals, it may not be suitable for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have a history of neuromuscular diseases, or are allergic to any of the ingredients in Dysport. A thorough consultation is essential to determine if Dysport is right for you.

The effects of Dysport are temporary, and the muscle relaxation gradually wears off over time. If desired, you can opt to discontinue future treatments, and your facial muscles will return to their normal function.

Dysport and Botox are both cosmetic injections and neuromodulators derived from botulinum toxin type A and work in a similar way to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. However, they have slight differences in terms of formulation and units used. The choice between Dysport and Botox often depends on individual preferences and the recommendation of the healthcare professional administering the injections.

Like Botox and Dysport, Xeomin is also composed of botulinum toxin type A but contains only the purified form of the toxin, without any accessory proteins. This means that Xeomin is a “naked” or “pure” form of botulinum toxin type A. Some people believe that using a purified form might reduce the risk of developing resistance to the toxin over time.
