Dysport Injections

Reston Virginia Board Certified Cosmetic Laser Surgery and Wellness Center

Dysport injections are used to temporarily improve the look of your moderate to severe frown lines without changing the look of your whole face. The untreated facial muscles still work normally which allows you to freely show facial expressions such as smiling in untreated areas. Over time, the muscles above and between the eyebrows repeatedly contract and tighten, which causes wrinkles. With just 1 injection into each of the 5 points between and over the eyebrows, Dysport injections blocks the signal from the nerve to the muscles; ultimately resulting in a reduction of muscle activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines.

Dysport Procedure

Treatment generally takes just 10 to 20 minutes although treatment times can vary from person to person. For up to four entire months, you could have the look that you love. It's important to note that you should not be treated with Dysport more frequently than every 90 days. According to their official website, 97% of those that have used this injection say that they want to get this treatment again.

How is Dysport better than Botox?

Overall, Botox and Dysport are very similar. Both are a type of botulinum type A used to relax the muscles that cause frown lines and other overactive muscles of the face, like forehead lines and crows feet. Dysport injections may be slightly less expensive in some offices but it depends on the office and of course, the total amount needed to accomplish your goals. The efficacy of Dysport (3-4 months) doesn't last as long as Botox (4-6 months), so it really depends on what you are looking for.

Injectables and Men

Men’s use of injectable treatments has grown four times from 2000 to 2014. So, when between-the-brow frown lines make you look tired, angry or older than you feel, choose Dysport to help you stay in control.
