Dysport FAQs: Your Med Spa Guide
Are you considering a cosmetic treatment to reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and facial creases? Choosing the right provider and treatment can be overwhelming, especially if you are new to the world of injectables. At Rouge & Wright Medical Spa in Phoenix, AZ, we offer a safe and effective alternative to Botox called Dysport. In this article, we will answer some of the most common questions about Dysport and help you feel confident in your decision to choose this anti-aging treatment.
What is Dysport?
Dysport is a prescription injection that smooths wrinkles between the eyebrows, forehead wrinkles, and crow’s feet lines around the eyes. It uses the same active ingredient as Botox (botulinum toxin type A) to temporarily relax the muscles responsible for the facial lines. The result is a more youthful, refreshed appearance.
How is Dysport different from Botox?
While both treatments use the same active ingredient, they have some differences that may make Dysport a better choice for certain individuals. Dysport typically spreads to a wider area, making it a great option for larger treatment areas, like the forehead. Dysport also tends to take effect sooner than Botox, with visible results in as little as two to three days. However, the longevity of Dysport may not be as long as Botox, with results typically lasting three to four months.
Is Dysport safe?
Yes, Dysport is a safe and FDA-approved cosmetic treatment for the temporary improvement of fine lines and wrinkles. At Rouge & Wright, our licensed providers have years of experience and training injecting Dysport and other injectables. We always prioritize patient safety and satisfaction in all of our treatments.
Is Dysport painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort during their Dysport injection, with some likening the sensation to a pinch or pressure. To minimize discomfort, your provider may use a topical numbing cream or ice to numb the area before administering the injection.
Who is a good candidate for Dysport?
Dysport is a great option for individuals over 18 looking to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movements, such as frowning or squinting. However, it may not be the right choice for individuals with certain medical conditions, like Myasthenia Gravis. During your initial consultation at Rouge & Wright, your provider will evaluate your health history and cosmetic goals to determine if Dysport is the right treatment for you.
What can I expect during my Dysport treatment?
Before your injection, your provider will clean the injection area and may mark the treatment sites with a pen. They will then administer the Dysport injection using a fine needle. The entire process typically takes less than 20 minutes.
Are there any side effects of Dysport?
Like any cosmetic treatment, Dysport may have some side effects, including temporary redness, swelling, and bruising at the injection site. These effects typically resolve within a few days. In rare cases, more severe side effects like muscle weakness or difficulty speaking may occur. However, these are usually temporary and subside within a few weeks.
How much does Dysport cost?
The cost of Dysport varies depending on the amount of product used and the number of treatment areas. At Rouge & Wright, we offer affordable Dysport treatments starting at just $3.50 per unit. During your consultation, we will provide you with a personalized treatment plan and cost estimate.
