Dysport®

Dysport® is a prescription injectable medication that contains botulinum toxin type A, similar to BOTOX®. It's used cosmetically to temporarily reduce facial wrinkles and lines by blocking nerve signals to the muscles where it's injected.

Initially approved for certain muscle spasm disorders in Europe and Asia in 1991, Dysport became available in the United States in 2009 after receiving FDA approval for treating forehead wrinkles and frown lines. It is the second drug approved by the FDA for wrinkle treatment. Dysport, previously known as Reloxin, uses the same active ingredient as BOTOX but often offers a more natural look by smoothing wrinkles while allowing for natural expressions in the treated areas.

The effects of Dysport® can last several months before gradually wearing off, requiring additional treatments to maintain the desired results.

At your Dysport appointment, you will begin with a consultation to discuss cosmetic goals and medical history. Your provider will create a personalized treatment plan, cleansing the area before administering Dysport through injections. Post-treatment care instructions may be given, and results, noticeable immediately, may take a few days to finalize. Your provider may discuss follow-up plans, and individuals can usually resume normal activities shortly after the session with minimal downtime.

For effective maintenance after Dysport treatment, schedule follow-up appointments as recommended for result assessment and potential touch-ups. Regularly apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to extend the benefits, and adopt a healthy skincare routine with gentle products. Avoid harsh skincare items immediately post-treatment to prevent irritation. Ensure overall skin vitality by staying well-hydrated and maintaining a balanced lifestyle with proper nutrition, exercise, and sufficient sleep. Consider using dermatologist-recommended topicals tailored to your skin's needs and attend scheduled check-ins with your provider for ongoing skin assessment and care.

The maintenance schedule for Dysport typically involves regular follow-up appointments with your healthcare professional. These appointments serve to assess the results of the treatment and determine if any touch-ups are needed. Additionally, incorporating a consistent skincare routine, including the regular use of broad-spectrum sunscreen, is essential to prolong the benefits of Dysport.
