Our injectors at Exhibit Medical Aesthetics receive a lot of questions regarding different injectables—including Dysport. As new wrinkle solutions become available, patients are realizing that Dysport has been around almost as long as Botox injections, and are beginning to learn more about it.
Here, we answer the most common questions we hear about Dysport near Madison, NJ, so you can choose the best wrinkle solution for your unique skin.
How is Dysport different from Botox?
Dysport uses refined botulinum toxin, much like Botox. However, the Dysport formula uses small molecules, so the formula spreads farther into the muscle. While this makes the formula slightly less potent, it also creates incredibly natural-looking results.
While we often start first-time wrinkle relaxer patients on Dysport, we choose the best option for you depending on your anatomy, the severity of wrinkles, and much more.
Are Dysport injections painful?
No, wrinkle relaxer injections should not be painful. They may feel a bit uncomfortable, especially if you are new to receiving injections, but we have topical numbing cream and plenty of other comfort options available to you at our med spa.
How long does it take to see results from Dysport?
Some patients can see improvements within 4 days of receiving their injections, but you shouldn’t expect to see your full results until about 7 to 10 days after your appointment.
How long do Dysport results last?
The effects of Dysport can last anywhere from 3 to 4 months. As the effects wear off, you will start seeing your wrinkles reappear. At that point, you can schedule maintenance appointments for additional injections.
How do I care for my Dysport results?
We ask you to take a few steps to care for your skin after getting Dysport injections:
- Stay upright for at least 4 hours.
- Avoid touching, massaging, or scratching the injection site.
- Avoid smoking or drinking alcohol for at least 48 hours.
- Do not expose your skin to direct sunlight for at least 1 week.
- Avoid exposing your skin to hot or humid environments like saunas, hot tubs, hot showers, pools, etc.
