Dysport® Injectable

Neuromodulator Treatment in Bellaire, TX

Smooth Lines & Wrinkles

Prescription Dysport® injectable is a U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment for temporarily lessening or eliminating moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows.

Like BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport injectable is placed directly into the muscle underneath a furrow, weakening the muscle to the point where it cannot contract, allowing the skin above to smooth out completely.

The Science: Dysport, also known as Reloxin, is made from a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum; it is the exact same neurotoxin used in BOTOX Cosmetic.

Treatment Applications

While medically used to treat excessive underarm sweating and muscle spasms, cosmetically, Dysport injections are highly effective for treating dynamic facial lines and wrinkles.

The Treatment Process

  • Targeted Injections
    Using a very fine needle, Dysport injectable is placed directly into facial muscles that are causing furrows and lines.
  • Fast & Convenient
    No anesthetic is required, but some doctors choose to numb the area to be injected with ice packs or a topical anesthetic cream for your absolute comfort.
  • Rapid Results
    Results can usually be seen within a few days of treatment, taking effect quickly.
  • Long-Lasting
    Results typically last up to 4 months, although areas that are treated on a regular basis may retain results longer.

Is Dysport Right for You?

Candidates for Dysport injectable are adults less than 65 years of age who want temporary improvement in the look of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines).

Differences vs BOTOX® Cosmetic:

Although made from the same bacterium, there is anecdotal evidence that Dysport injectable may last longer, spread farther, and take effect more quickly than BOTOX Cosmetic for certain patients.

Important Considerations

  • Not Suitable For
    Those with allergies to Dysport ingredients, a cow’s milk protein allergy, very weak facial muscles, asymmetrical faces, or deep facial scars.
  • Eye & Skin Conditions
    Not recommended if you have droopy eyelids, sagging eyelid folds, inflammation/infection in the treatment area, or thick, oily skin.
  • Pregnancy
    Anyone who is pregnant, breastfeeding, or has a neuromuscular disease should not receive Dysport injectable.

Understanding the Risks

Side effects of Dysport injectable are usually mild and temporary, and normal activities may be resumed immediately after receiving injections. Injection-site side effects include pain, infection, inflammation, tenderness, swelling, redness, bleeding, or bruising.

Eyelids can occasionally droop when Dysport injections are made in the glabellar region; they usually return to normal within 3 weeks. Side effects of Dysport injectable are generally the same as those of BOTOX Cosmetic.
