Dysport is a popular injectable treatment used to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It works by temporarily paralyzing the muscles that cause wrinkles, resulting in a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion. The effects of Dysport typically last for three to six months, and repeat injections are needed to maintain results. The effects of Dysport begin to take effect within 48 hours after the injection.
Visible changes can be seen a few days after the consultation, and the results typically last for four to five months. To maintain the desired results, patients will need to update their Dysport injections about four times a year. Dysport is mainly used to correct glabellar lines in the eyebrow region, but it can also be used to treat dynamic wrinkles on the forehead, around the eyes, nose and mouth, or on the neck, jaw and chin. It can also be safely combined with dermal fillers if they are also dynamic and static wrinkles.
Complications from Dysport injections are rare and usually temporary, but may include paralysis of a nearby muscle, resulting in temporary loss of function. To minimize any side effects related to Dysport, some lifestyle changes can be beneficial. If you're considering Dysport injections, it's important to talk to your doctor about your specific skin goals and confirm that Dysport is the best option for you. Knowing what to expect can help minimize any anxiety that often surrounds any needle procedure and the potential for discomfort.
