Dysport in McKinney & Frisco

Wrinkles and fine lines are a natural part of the aging process. As we enter our thirties and beyond, many people want to keep their skin smooth and youthful, reversing wrinkles and lines or preventing wrinkles from appearing in the first place. While the wrinkle relaxer BOTOX is a household name, Dysport is a very similar injectable treatment that is used as a BOTOX alternative.

What is Dysport?

DYSPORT uses the same active ingredient as BOTOX to relax your facial and neck muscles, but with a newer and slightly different formula. DYSPORT can effectively keep your facial muscles from contracting by interrupting the nerve signals that ultimately cause those frustrating lines and irritating wrinkles of the face and neck areas.

Dysport treats frown lines and other wrinkles on the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. This simple injectable treatment smooths the skin to restore a fresh, youthful appearance.

Dysport is a more diluted formula than BOTOX, allowing it to spread more quickly and widely. This causes the results to appear faster and also makes it a good choice for broader facial areas.

What happens during a Dysport treatment?

Your treatment begins with cleansing your skin to remove any oils or toxins that could cause infection. Using a very fine needle, the Dysport formula is then precisely injected into the specific muscles that are causing wrinkles. Only certain muscles are injected in order to leave your other muscles free, allowing a natural range of motion and expression. This nuanced, finesse injection treatment should only be done by an experienced expert with a fine understanding of facial harmony, balance, and aesthetics.

Your treatment is short, taking only about 20 minutes from start to completion. Dysport is commonly called a “lunchtime treatment,” as many people stop in over lunch and head back to work once the injections are complete. Within a few days, you will be a marked reduction of wrinkles and lines in the treatment area.

Results and recovery after Dysport

Dysport results last for about three or four months before another injection is needed to maintain your smooth, youthful-looking skin. One of the benefits of Dysport is that there is no recovery time after the treatment.

You can apply makeup immediately or continue with the activities of your usual day. You may have some swelling or redness in injection sites, but this will fade quickly.
