Dysport Serving Oakland

Within the first 30 minutes following your treatment, it is a good idea to exercise the muscles which you would like to target with Dysport. You can do this by making facial expressions such as squinting, frowning, or raising your eyebrows. It is important to avoid lying down or engaging in strenuous exercise for at least four hours to ensure the best results. Do not massage the treatment area for 24 hours after your procedure. It’s best to have your facial treatment before Dysport or one week after.

While Dysport and Botox work in the same way, there are some subtle differences between the two. Due to more variability in its molecular weight, Dysport can spread further across the treatment area. This allows Dysport to be delivered to a larger area, providing more even and widespread results. Dysport also has smaller protein particles which may contribute to its faster onset compared to Botox. While both can be used to treat various areas of the face, Dysport is often preferred for forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet due to its ability to cover more area underneath the skin.

Side effects from Dysport injections are mild, and many patients do not report any adverse effects with treatment. However, the most common side effects caused by Dysport are injection site reactions, headache, or bruising.

Dysport results typically last between two and four months but can last longer in some patients. Most patients choose to schedule their treatments about three months apart, but the suggested time varies between individuals depending on how long it takes for results to wear off.
