At Splendid Aesthetics of Kyle, Texas, we know that you have many options when it comes to cosmetic treatments. Fortunately, our licensed injectors and the clinical aesthetic team are here to educate new and established patients on their choices, including injectables and fillers. Dysport is one of several neurotoxins available to patients seeking to address fine lines, wrinkles, and facial folds. Let’s learn more about Dysport and how it works as part of the antiaging process.
Dysport is one of several neurotoxins that address folds and lines resulting from muscle contractions. Dysport contains the active ingredient botulinum toxin type A, which blocks nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. This leads to reduced muscle activity and a smoother appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Dysport is injected into specific facial muscles, targeting areas such as crow’s feet, forehead lines, and frown lines between the brows. The injection process typically takes 10 to 20 minutes, and results can usually be seen within 2-3 days. Dysport works by temporarily relaxing the targeted muscles, preventing them from contracting and thereby reducing the formation of wrinkles. This treatment does not affect other facial expressions or movements.
Yes, Dysport is a safe, FDA-approved cosmetic treatment. However, as with any procedure, there are always potential risks and side effects to be aware of. Common side effects include redness, bruising, or soreness at the injection site, all of which should subside within a few days. Rare but possible side effects may include drooping eyelids, uneven eyebrows or smile, or difficulty swallowing. This is why only Dysport injections from a qualified and experienced provider are crucial.
Dysport works differently from dermal fillers, which add volume and plumpness to the face. While both treatments can address signs of aging, they target different concerns and areas of the face. Dysport focuses on reducing muscle movement and wrinkles, while dermal fillers work to fill in lines and restore volume lost due to age or other factors. Our team may suggest using Dysport and fillers to achieve a “liquid facelift,” which can dramatically change one’s appearance.
The team at Splendid Aesthetics is dedicated to providing patients with solutions for hair, skin, and body. If you are interested in learning about Dysport or other injectables and fillers, please call (512) 607-9377 to schedule an appointment.
