Are you tired of those persistent frown lines and wrinkles that never seem to go away?
At Access MedSpa Rejuvenate, we understand the desire for a youthful, refreshed appearance. That’s why we offer Dysport, a safe and effective injectable treatment designed to smooth away moderate to severe wrinkles, helping you look and feel your best.
What is Dysport and How Can It Help Me?
Dysport is a prescription injection that temporarily improves the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines) in adults. Dysport is an FDA-approved treatment that uses a purified form of botulinum toxin type A to target the muscles that cause wrinkles.
Similar to Jeuveau, Dysport is a neuromodulator, not a filler. Instead of plumping up the skin, it works by gently relaxing specific facial muscles, reducing their activity and softening the appearance of those stubborn wrinkles we all want to get rid of.
Dysport: Your Path to a More Youthful You
Dysport is a popular choice for those seeking a non-surgical way to address wrinkles, but what sets it apart? Here are some key benefits:
- Fast and Effective Treatment: We understand you have a busy life, so our Dysport treatments are designed to be quick and convenient, typically taking only 10-20 minutes.
- Minimally Invasive with Natural-Looking Results: Dysport injections use a very fine needle to ensure your comfort during the treatment. The injections precisely target specific facial muscles, resulting in a natural-looking reduction in wrinkles.
- Little to No Downtime: You can return to your everyday activities immediately after your Dysport appointment.
What Areas Does Dysport Treat?
Dysport is highly effective at treating wrinkles in various areas of the face, including:
- Forehead Lines: Those horizontal lines that appear across your forehead, often accentuated by facial expressions.
- Glabellar Lines (Frown Lines): The vertical lines that develop between your eyebrows, commonly known as “11” lines.
- Crow’s Feet: The fine lines that radiate outwards from the corners of your eyes, often becoming more prominent when you smile or laugh.
Beyond its cosmetic benefits, Dysport is also a versatile treatment option for medical conditions such as:
- Excessive Sweating (Hyperhidrosis): By blocking the nerve signals that stimulate sweat glands, Dysport can significantly reduce underarm sweating, making it an effective treatment for hyperhidrosis.
- Muscle Spasms: Dysport can also be used to treat a variety of muscle spasms, including those affecting the eyelids, neck, and limbs.

The Science Behind Dysport: How It Works
Dysport injections contain botulinum toxin type A, which is a purified protein. This protein works by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. When these signals are interrupted, the targeted muscles relax, allowing the overlying skin to smooth out.
Advantages of Dysport Over Botox
While both Dysport and Botox are effective neuromodulators for treating wrinkles, Dysport offers certain advantages:
- Ideal for Larger Treatment Areas: Dysport spreads more easily than Botox, making it especially well-suited for treating larger areas like the forehead. This allows for a smoother, more natural-looking result with fewer injections required.
- Faster Onset of Results: Many patients notice the effects of Dysport within 2 to 5 days, while Botox can take up to a week to show visible results.
- Subtle and Gradual Transition: Due to its slightly different protein structure, Dysport is known for its subtle and gradual onset of effects, allowing for a more natural transition.
- Long-Lasting Results: Similar to Botox, Dysport’s wrinkle-reducing effects can last up to 5 months.
Preparing for Your Dysport Treatment: What You Need to Know
Before your Dysport appointment, follow these preparation tips:
- Avoid Blood Thinners: Stop taking blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin and ibuprofen, at least 24 hours before your appointment, as they can increase the risk of bruising.
- Hydrate and Avoid Alcohol: Drink plenty of water and avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your treatment. This will help your skin look its best and may minimize any potential bruising.
- Arrive with a Clean Face: Come to your appointment with clean skin, free of makeup and skincare products.
- Discuss Medications and Supplements: Inform your practitioner about any medications, supplements, or herbal remedies you’re taking to avoid potential interactions.
- Communicate Your Aesthetic Goals: Be prepared to discuss your aesthetic goals and any concerns you have about the treatment during your consultation.
What to Expect During Your Dysport Treatment
Here’s a step-by-step guide to what you can expect during a typical Dysport treatment session at Access MedSpa Rejuvenate:
- Consultation and Assessment: Your provider will begin by reviewing your medical history, discussing your aesthetic goals, and carefully examining your skin to determine the appropriate treatment areas and dosage.
- Treatment Area Mapping: Your provider will mark the specific areas on your face where the Dysport injections will be placed, ensuring precise targeting of the muscles responsible for your wrinkles.
- Topical Numbing (Optional): If you’re concerned about discomfort, we offer topical numbing cream to minimize any potential pain or stinging during the injections.
- Dysport Injections: Using a very fine needle, your provider will administer the Dysport injections into the targeted muscles. The number of injections required will vary depending on the treatment area and the severity of your wrinkles.
- Post-Treatment Instructions: Your provider will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and answer any questions you may have.
Dysport Aftercare: Maximizing Your Results
To optimize your Dysport results and minimize potential side effects, follow these aftercare guidelines:
- Avoid Touching or Rubbing: Refrain from touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours to prevent the Dysport from migrating to other muscles.
- Limit Strenuous Activity: Avoid strenuous exercise, hot baths, saunas, and excessive sun exposure for 24 hours post-treatment.
- Elevate Your Head: If possible, keep your head elevated for a few hours after your treatment. This can help reduce swelling and bruising.
- Moderate Alcohol Intake: Limit your alcohol consumption for at least 24 hours following your injections.
Understanding Dysport Results and Longevity
The results of Dysport injections are not immediate but develop gradually over a few days. Most patients begin to see a noticeable improvement in their wrinkles within 2 to 5 days, with full effects becoming visible within a week.
The longevity of Dysport results varies from person to person, but most individuals can enjoy their smoother, more youthful appearance for 3 to 6 months. Factors that can influence the longevity of your results include:
- Metabolism: Individuals with faster metabolisms may find that the effects of Dysport wear off sooner.
- Treatment Area: The longevity of results can vary depending on the specific area being treated.
- Dosage: Higher doses of Dysport generally last longer than lower doses.
- Frequency of Treatments: Regular Dysport treatments can help train the muscles to stay relaxed, potentially leading to longer-lasting results over time.
