Common Questions
What can’t be treated with Dysport?
Although great for smoothing out surface-level wrinkles and preventing new ones, Dysport and BOTOX aren’t a solution for deep wrinkles such as the marionette lines (“smile lines”). That’s what fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, and Sculptra are designed for.
Unlike dermal fillers, toxins like Dysport and BOTOX aren’t a volume-restoring treatment. Injecting it into the under eyes wouldn’t fill in lost volume or improve dark circles, and using it in the undereye area can also lead to risks such as your lower eyelids sagging or issues with blinking.
Will I look “frozen”?
No, your face will still move and there won’t be any change to your everyday expressions like smiling, laughing, or frowning. The only difference is that the wrinkles associated with these expressions are far less noticeable. The “frozen” look happens when too much product is injected, which doesn’t happen when you choose experienced aesthetic injectors like ours at MD Beauty Lab.
How soon will I see results after Dysport treatment?
Most people see the effects of Dysport treatment within 2-3 days, but it can sometimes take up to two weeks for final results to appear. Before it starts working its muscle relaxing effects, it has to bind itself to nerve cell receptors, and this is a process that can take some time.
How long does Dysport last?
On average, the effects of Dysport treatment last for about three to four months. We recommend patients visit our office for regular maintenance treatments to keep their skin smooth. Though maintenance treatments are required to maintain the best results, it’s not uncommon to notice that you need it less often as your muscles become accustomed to being in a more relaxed state.
Is Dysport safe?
Yes, Dysport is generally a very safe treatment, especially when it’s performed by qualified professionals like our aesthetic injectors at MD Beauty Lab. We work closely with the plastic surgeons of Portland Plastic Surgery Group to ensure your treatment process is smooth and safe.
