Dysport

Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that smooths the lines and wrinkles that commonly occur when facial muscles contract. It is a type of botulinum type A and similar to Botox but contains a smaller molecule so the unit measurement is different. Moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows are temporarily diminished with Dysport injections. Treatment is focused, so untreated facial muscles continue to work normally. After Dysport, you can still smile, frown and make facial expressions in a relaxed and confident.

Dysport is often an excellent choice for women and men under the age of 65 who are searching for a safe and effective way to decrease tiny lines and wrinkles between the brow line. It is FDA approved and used across Europe, non-surgical and easily administered in the comfort of our Scottsdale medical aesthetics facility on an outpatient basis.

Most clients are good candidates for Dysport treatments, however, those with allergies to milk proteins, Dysport or botulinum toxin products are often advised to avoid treatments. We suggest that any skin infections at the injection site clear before treatments begin and also may exclude clients who have had a surgical change to their face, deep facial scars, thick, oily skin or drooping eyelids. Please discuss these and any other medical concerns with Dr. Brazelia or one of our team members at your consultation.

Dysport treatments offer quick results, usually as soon as three to four days after treatment. Many patients continue to note improvements with the full impact continuing for about four months. Post-procedure, avoid lying down flat on your face and any massages for about four hours. It is also important to keep any exercise to very moderate levels in the first hours after treatment. Smile, squint or raise your eyebrows to facilitate Dysport absorption. Slight redness, bruising or even headaches are possible after treatment. They usually subside within 24-hours.

Dysport treatments are quick, convenient and non-invasive. To enhance effectiveness and minimize any potential side effects, discontinue non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications two weeks before treatment. Consult with your doctor before discontinuing any prescription medications. This reduces the likelihood of any bruising or bleeding.

Expect to spend about an hour for your initial treatment. This provides ample time for any paperwork and to address final questions or concerns so you feel comfortable and confident. The procedure itself only takes about 15 minutes.

Discomfort is minimal but may include a slight burning sensation at the injection site. This is often minimized or eliminated with the use of a topical anesthetic. The target area is cleaned, and then Dr. Brazelia or one of our physicians will ask you to smile or look surprised. This helps to activate the muscles that are being injected. The spots surrounding your brow are then marked with a washable pen, and the injections are completed.
