What Is Dysport?
In the world of anti-aging injectables, Dysport is a one of Botox’s biggest competitors.
Like Botox, Dysport is a neuromuscular toxin that works by blocking nerve impulses that contract the muscles. This temporarily restricts wrinkle-causing movements and relaxes unwanted facial lines.
What Can Patients Expect from a Dysport Treatment?
Dysport is a non-invasive treatment performed in the comfort of your medical provider’s office. The procedure usually takes around 30 minutes and uses a very thin needle to inject Dysport into targeted muscles.
Most women and men find the injections to be quick and virtually pain-free and say it feels like a slight prick, lasting just a few seconds.
Immediately after treatment, patients are able to leave the office and go about their day as they normally would, without disruption to their work or personal responsibilities.
When Does Dysport Start Working?
Dysport injections may begin to work in as little as two or three days, but it usually takes five to seven days for a patient to see the full effects of their treatment.
After this time, women and men will be pleased to note that their skin appears smoother and that they look like younger and more-refreshed versions of themselves.
How Long Does Dysport Last?
Now for the question on everyone’s mind: How long does Dysport last?
Dysport typically provides visible wrinkle relaxation and smoother skin for 3-4 months. At this time, patients will require additional injections if they wish to maintain their Dysport results.
