Dysport®

Dysport® is a prescription injectable medication containing botulinum toxin type A. Similar to BOTOX®, it is used for cosmetic purposes to temporarily reduce facial wrinkles and lines by blocking nerve signals in the injected muscles. The effects of Dysport can last for several months before gradually wearing off, at which point additional treatments may be needed to maintain the results. The team at Dermatology Specialists of Charlotte is here to help you achieve your cosmetic goals through Dysport treatment.

What to Expect at Your Dysport Appointment

At your Dysport appointment, you will begin with a consultation to discuss cosmetic goals and medical history. Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan, cleansing the area before administering Dysport through injections. Post-treatment care instructions may be given, and results, noticeable immediately, may take a few days to finalize. Your provider may discuss follow-up plans, and individuals can usually resume normal activities shortly after the session with minimal downtime.

Dysport Maintenance Recommendations

For effective maintenance after Dysport treatment, schedule follow-up appointments as recommended for result assessment and potential touch-ups. Regularly apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to extend the benefits, and adopt a healthy skincare routine with gentle products. Avoid harsh skincare items immediately post-treatment to prevent irritation. Ensure overall skin vitality by staying well-hydrated and maintaining a balanced lifestyle with proper nutrition, exercise, and sufficient sleep. Consider using dermatologist-recommended topicals tailored to your skin's needs and attend scheduled check-ins with your provider for ongoing skin assessment and care.

Dysport Maintenance Schedule

The maintenance schedule for Dysport typically involves regular follow-up appointments with your healthcare professional. These appointments serve to assess the results of the treatment and determine if any touch-ups are needed. Additionally, incorporating a consistent skincare routine, including the regular use of broad-spectrum sunscreen, is essential to prolong the benefits of Dysport.

BOTOX and Dysport are injectable neurotoxins used to reduce wrinkles. BOTOX (Allergan) and Dysport (Ipsen) have similar effects but differ in onset, spread, and cost. Results last about 3-4 months for both. Consult a professional for personalized advice on how to decide between the two neurotoxins.
