Dysport Austin | Dysport Injections in Austin

As time passes, ordinary facial expressions such as laughing, squinting, frowning, and smiling can lead to the formation of creases and wrinkles in the forehead and around the eyes, also known as dynamic lines. Dysport, a neuromodulator, is a leading solution for these signs of aging. It is often chosen as an alternative to BOTOX, thanks to its smaller molecular structure and cost-effectiveness.

What is Dysport?

Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable that, similar to BOTOX, is used to reduce the signs of aging that make one look tired, angry, and worried. Made with the bacterium Clostridium, Dysport is administered into the tiny facial muscles responsible for the daily contractions that lead to wrinkles, lines, and creases. Once these muscles are temporarily incapacitated, the skin smoothes out, resulting in a more youthful and inviting countenance. Dysport requires 3-5 injections per visit, and results can last 3-4 months.

What concerns can be treated with Dysport?

Like BOTOX, Dysport has several medical uses, including the treatment of hyperhidrosis, cervical dystonia, and muscle spasms. Cosmetically it can address the following:

Lines and creases in the forehead
Frown lines
Crow’s feet
Vertical banding in the neck

What are the benefits?

Treatments typically take fewer than 20 minutes
Non-surgical, non-invasive, and painless
No anesthesia required
No downtime or recovery
Helps combat lines, wrinkles, furrows, and creases
Restores a youthful, appealing facial expression
Boosts self-image and self-confidence
Results last 3-4 months on average

Who is an ideal candidate?

Ideal candidates for Dysport in Austin are troubled by glabellar lines and crow’s feet and are seeking a short-term solution with no downtime. They should be healthy, both mentally and physically, and have realistic, positive attitudes regarding their results. Dysport is often recommended for patients who have not found the relief they seek using BOTOX injections.

Dysport is contraindicated for those with the following attributes:

Allergies to any ingredients in Dysport
Allergies to cow’s milk
Weakened facial muscles
Facial asymmetry
Infection or inflammation at the injection sites
Drooping or sagging eyelids
Deep facial scarring
Severe wrinkles and folds
Pregnant or breastfeeding
Neuromuscular disorders

What can I expect from the procedure?

Dysport injections take just minutes to administer, and most clients do not require any kind of topical anesthetic. However, a numbing solution can be applied to the skin prior to your session if you are concerned about discomfort. Your practitioner will inject Dysport strategically into the previously chosen spots where aging has produced unwanted lines, creases, and wrinkles. Once your session is complete, you can quickly return to your normal activities.

Dysport and BOTOX Differences:

The protein structure surrounding their molecules is slightly different
Dysport is a smaller-sized molecule, so about two to three times more dysport is needed than botox
There are some differences in dilution
Dysport may be slightly less expensive
Dysport can take less time to show results in some cases, but it depends on the patient
Dysport results can show up in 24 hours following treatment, with final results appearing by day 7. With BOTOX, results can be seen about two days after treatment

Dysport and BOTOX Similarities

Both are a version of Botulinum type A
Both are used to relax the muscles that cause facial lines and wrinkles
Both have been used successfully for years and have a high safety rate
Both can be used on parts of the body other than the face
Both show similar side effects

What will my recovery entail?

There is no downtime with Dysport, so you’ll be able to resume your regular schedule immediately. After Dysport injections in Austin, patients may experience minor swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the treatment sites. These side effects will fade within a few hours or by the end of the day, however. Clients should take care to avoid over-using their facial muscles for the first 24-48 hours and refrain from touching, rubbing, or otherwise disturbing their facial skin. Results will last from 3-4 months.
