Considering a med spa treatment but not sure where to start? Curious about Dysport and whether it’s right for you? At Skin Works Medical Spa, we believe in empowering you to make informed decisions about your aesthetic treatments. Whether you’re exploring wrinkle relaxers for the first time or looking for an alternative to Botox, this guide will give you all the key facts you need.
1. ✅ What Is Dysport?
Dysport is an FDA-approved botulinum toxin injectable designed to temporarily reduce the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows—without freezing your natural facial expressions. The untreated muscles continue to move normally, so your face stays expressive while lines visibly smooth out.
2. ✅ How Long Does a Treatment Take?
Dysport injections are fast and convenient. A typical appointment lasts about 20 to 30 minutes, with no downtime required. You can resume normal activities immediately after treatment.
3. ✅ Is Dysport Painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort. The treatment involves small injections that may cause slight redness or swelling, which usually resolves within hours. Topical numbing cream can be applied for added comfort.
4. ✅ When Will I See Results?
Results typically appear within 2–4 days, with full effects visible by day 7. Plan your treatment at least two weeks before any big events to allow time for the product to settle and potential swelling to subside.
5. ✅ How Long Do Results Last?
Dysport results usually last 3 to 4 months, though some patients enjoy visible effects for up to 5 or 6 months depending on individual response and treatment area. Regular touch-ups help maintain optimal results.
6. ✅ What Should I Tell My Provider Before Treatment?
Always disclose any medications, supplements, or medical conditions. Blood thinners, NSAIDs like ibuprofen, and even fish oil can increase bruising risk. Sharing your full health history helps your provider plan a safe and effective session.
7. ✅ Is Dysport Right for Everyone?
Most healthy adults with dynamic wrinkles (caused by muscle movement) are good candidates. However, if you have allergies to botulinum toxin, cow’s milk protein, or have certain neuromuscular conditions, you should avoid treatment. Consultation is key—our expert team will guide you.
8. ✅ How Is Dysport Different from Botox?
Dysport and Botox are both botulinum toxin type A products, but they differ in formulation and diffusion. Dysport spreads a bit more, which can be beneficial for larger treatment areas like the forehead. They are not interchangeable in dosing, so it’s important to consult a trained provider familiar with both.
9. ✅ What Does Dysport Cost?
Pricing varies by treatment area and the number of units needed. At Skin Works Medical Spa, we offer competitive pricing and special promotions on wrinkle relaxers like Dysport. Contact us for a personalized quote.
10. ✅ Can I Combine Dysport with Other Treatments?
Absolutely! Dysport pairs well with dermal fillers, Hydrafacials, microneedling, and laser treatments for a comprehensive anti-aging plan. Many of our patients combine therapies to smooth, lift, and brighten their skin with maximum efficiency.
