Dysport is a cosmetic injection with FDA approval to correct moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, also known as the glabellar lines or angry 11s. While Dysport is FDA-approved for frown lines, its off-label uses also extend to other dynamic wrinkles on the face, such as the forehead lines and crow’s feet. With a few strategic injections, we can diminish the unwanted facial wrinkles, making you look significantly younger.

How does Dysport work?

Dysport is a neuromodulator, i.e., a type of cosmetic injection that can temporarily relax targeted muscles. Dysport is made of botulinum toxin type a, which can temporarily block communications between nerve endings and muscles. Dynamic wrinkles appear because of the overuse of certain facial muscles to produce expressions, such as laughing and frowning. When injected into targeted facial muscles, Dysport in San Carlos relaxes them and softens the associated dynamic wrinkles, taking several years off your face.

What happens during the Dysport treatment?

Your Dysport treatment starts with a personalized consultation. Our medical providers will examine your facial skin, discuss your goals and concerns, review your medical history, and examine the depth of your wrinkles. After a thorough evaluation, they will mark the treatment areas on your face and select the appropriate units for you. We personalize the dose to ensure soft and natural-looking results — no frozen expressions.

During your Dysport in San Carlos treatment, the medical provider will cleanse your facial skin and apply topical anesthesia to ensure comfort. The appropriate units of Dysport are carefully injected into the targeted injection points on your skin using ultrafine needles. You might feel a little pinch when the needle enters your skin, but there’s no pain. The entire treatment concludes within 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of treatment areas.

How often do I need Dysport treatments?

How often you need Dysport depends on the longevity of your results. Most patients opt for 3 to 4 Dysport treatments per year to maintain youthful skin throughout the year.

When will I see the results?

Dysport results gradually appear over several days. Your facial skin will start looking smoother after a few days, with continued improvements for 2 weeks.

How long do the results last?

Dysport results usually last for 3 to 4 months. After about 3 months, your facial wrinkles will start appearing again, indicating it’s time to get another shot.

What are the side effects of Dysport?

Dysport causes minimal side effects, such as redness, swelling, tenderness, lumping, and bruising around the injection points.

Is there any downtime after Dysport?

Dysport in San Carlos doesn’t involve any downtime. You may resume your daily activities and work immediately after your treatment, but avoid strenuous activities for a day.
