Dysport

Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable treatment specifically designed to soften and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It works by temporarily paralyzing targeted facial muscles, thereby inhibiting muscle contractions that lead to wrinkles. 

Choosing Advanced Cosmetic Surgery for your Dysport treatment means entrusting your skin to board-certified professionals who prioritize both aesthetics and well-being. If you’re in Greenville, Anderson, Spartanburg, or even as far as Charlotte and Atlanta, we invite you to schedule a consultation today.

What is Dysport?

Dysport is a neurotoxin, a type of injectable treatment that contains the botulinum toxin. It’s a neuromodulator, meaning it works by blocking the nerve signals to certain muscles, reducing their activity and consequently softening the appearance of dynamic wrinkles and creases. 

Perfect for those wanting to diminish the signs of aging, Dysport is less invasive than plastic surgery and offers a quick and straightforward way to a more youthful appearance.

What’s the difference between Dysport and Botox?

Dysport and Botox both contain botulinum toxin and serve to relax muscles that cause wrinkles, but there are some subtle differences. Dysport tends to have a quicker onset of action and may spread to a broader area after injection, which can be advantageous depending on the area being treated.

How long does Dysport last?

The effects of Dysport can last up to four months, although this varies from person to person. It’s worth noting that over time and with regular treatments, you may find that you’re able to extend the period between sessions as the results can become more long-lasting.

Is Dysport safe for all skin types?

Dysport is generally safe for most skin types. However, it’s essential to have a thorough consultation with a qualified practitioner to discuss your medical history and any skin conditions that could affect your treatment outcomes.

Can Dysport be used in conjunction with other treatments?

Yes, many people choose to combine Dysport with other non-invasive treatments such as dermal fillers for a more comprehensive approach to facial rejuvenation. Consult your practitioner to develop a customized treatment plan that’s right for you.

What should I avoid doing after a Dysport treatment?

After receiving Dysport injections, it’s recommended to avoid strenuous exercise, excessive sun or heat exposure, and consuming large amounts of alcohol for at least 24 hours. These activities can exacerbate side effects or decrease the effectiveness of the treatment. Always consult with your practitioner for personalized aftercare instructions.
