What is Dysport?

Dysport is an FDA-approved cosmetic injectable performed to reduce the appearance of mild to severe dynamic wrinkles. This injectable is a great choice for adults who want to look younger without undergoing surgical procedures. In fact, injectables like Dysport can achieve some improvements that surgery may not! With an eye for the most natural-looking results in facial rejuvenation, we are excited to offer Dysport treatment at our Pittsburgh, PA, Cleveland, and Columbus, OH med spa locations.

How it works.

Dysport injections work by blocking the nerves that signal a muscle to contract. With just a few injections, the target muscle or muscles become relaxed, but not so much that you lose expressiveness. Our experienced injectors use techniques and instruments to maximize your treatment comfort. Most of our patients feel a minor, momentary pinching sensation as each injection is given.

Things to Keep In Mind for Treatment

  1. Please arrive for your appointment with a clean face and without makeup.
  2. Avoid alcohol and smoking 24 hours before Botox treatment to minimize bruising from the procedure.
  3. Avoid unnecessary blood-thinning medications (e.g. NSAIDs like ibuprofen).
  4. Please notify your provider if you are currently on or have recently taken any antibiotics, as certain medications can affect treatment results.
  5. Neurotoxin treatments are not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding patients.

Dysport FAQs
  • How is the Dysport procedure performed?

    The treatment process is simple and comfortable. After meeting with your expert injector to discuss your goals, the injection portion of your appointment may take just 5 to 10 minutes. We perform injections using a micro-needle, which is much smaller than the needles used to draw blood from the arm. To smooth away dynamic wrinkles, your provider will administer Dysport precisely into the specific muscles, causing the skin to fold.

  • How many Dysport injections will I need?

    The number of injections you will need depends on your goals. When you meet with your provider, they will let you know how many units of Dysport you need to achieve the best results. The number of units you need may be different from the number of injections given. Regardless of the number of injections, we will keep you comfortable throughout your treatment!

  • What is recovery like after Dysport?

    There is no recovery after getting Dysport. You can go right back to most of your normal activities. The primary post-treatment guidelines are to avoid lying down and not work out for four to five hours after getting your injections. It is also important to avoid applying pressure to the face after getting Dysport so that the product does not migrate away from the treatment area.

  • What will the results of Dysport look like?

    The results of Dysport build over five to seven days, and the full results will be seen in fourteen days. As the muscles relax, the overlying creased and wrinkled skin starts to smooth out. The muscles that weren’t treated retain the ability to contract normally, so you can expect your results to look beautifully natural.

  • How long will results last?

    The results of Dysport injections may vary from person to person. Generally, the active ingredient continues working for three to six months. Treatment can be repeated every three to four months to maintain your rejuvenated appearance.
