Overview
When you're young, you can smile, frown, scrunch up your face and the expression lines that appear on your face quickly disappear when you relax your face. However, over time, those lines don't fade as fast and eventually may look like they are etched on your face. The lines caused by repeated facial expressions are known as dynamic wrinkles and they can make you appear tired or older than you want. Dysport®, which like BOTOX® is a purified strain of abobotulinumtoxin A, can be used to safely relax treated muscles in the face to correct dynamic muscles. The skilled injectors of ZO Skin Centre® carefully perform Dysport® treatment to soften your lines and wrinkles without giving you a stiff, frozen look. We want our Newport Beach and Laguna Beach patients to look natural, but refreshed and still able to smile, laugh, frown, and make any other facial expression they want.
Dysport® is best for dynamic wrinkles, but you may also want to treat static lines and wrinkle on your face by combining your Dysport® treatment with a dermal filler, like Juvéderm, Restylane®, or Radiesse®, or a facial treatment. Your ZO® skin care professional will help you understand your treatment options and make recommendations based on your wants and needs.
Reviews
Best Candidates
Dysport® is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to be used in patients under 65 years of age who are in good general health and have realistic expectations about their Dysport® treatment. Dysport® is designed to treat dynamic wrinkles, particularly the frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). You should talk to your certified injector during your consultation about any allergies you may have, past reactions and side effects, as well as any medications and supplements you are currently taking.
What to expect
A Dysport® treatment typically takes about 15 – 60 minutes after your certified injector performs your consultation and creates your treatment plan. Your treatment plan will determine the best dose and injection points to meet your cosmetic goals. As you relax in one of our treatment rooms, your ZO® injector will cleanse your face and mark the injection sites. You may experience mild discomfort during the injection, but a numbing cream can be applied before the treatment to help you feel more comfortable. Most patients see visible improvement in their dynamic wrinkles about 2 – 3 days after their Dysport® treatment that last up to 4 months. After the treatment, you may have mild redness, itching, and inflammation in and around the injection sites that should subside on their own. Please contact our office if you have any unusual reactions or concerns after your treatment. To maintain your results, you should talk to your injector about when to schedule touch-up treatments.
