What to Expect During Your Dysport Treatment

Dysport is a popular, minimally invasive treatment for effectively reducing fine lines and wrinkles. Understanding the process and benefits can help you feel more confident about what to expect if you consider this treatment for a more youthful appearance. In this guide, we’ll take you through each stage of the Dysport treatment journey, covering everything from consultation to aftercare.

Understanding Dysport and Its Benefits

What is Dysport?

Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce wrinkles and fine lines by relaxing facial muscles. Similar to other botulinum toxin type A products, Dysport temporarily reduces muscle activity in targeted areas, such as between the eyebrows, on the forehead, and around the eyes. This leads to a smoother, more youthful-looking appearance. Many patients choose Dysport because it provides subtle yet noticeable results and is ideal for those seeking a natural, refreshed look.

Key Benefits of Dysport

The benefits of Dysport include reduced appearance of wrinkles, minimal downtime, and quick results. Dysport specifically targets dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements, making it particularly effective for forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. Other benefits include:

• Quick, Long-Lasting Results – Many patients notice results within a few days after their Dysport treatment, and the effects can last up to four months.
• Natural Look—Dysport is designed to work subtly, giving the face a naturally smoother appearance without an overdone appearance.
• Minimal Downtime – Most patients can resume regular activities immediately after treatment.

Dysport is also highly customizable. Your provider can adjust the dosage and placement based on your unique facial structure and aesthetic goals.

Your Dysport Treatment Step-by-Step

Initial Consultation

Every Dysport treatment begins with a consultation, a critical step in achieving the best results. During the consultation, your provider at Magnolia Medical Aesthetics will assess your medical history, skin type, and overall health to ensure Dysport is the right choice for you. You’ll have the opportunity to discuss your goals and areas of concern and ask any questions you may have about the treatment process.

Key elements of the consultation may include:

• Assessment of Skin and Wrinkles—Your provider will examine the areas where you want to reduce wrinkles, noting the depth and type of lines.
• Medical History Review: This ensures no contraindications to treatment and helps the provider customize the dosage and injection sites.
• Goal Setting – Defining realistic expectations for the outcome of Dysport treatment.

Preparing for Dysport Treatment

Preparation for Dysport is minimal but essential. To minimize the risk of bruising or swelling, avoid blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, and certain supplements (such as fish oil) for about a week before treatment. Additionally, it’s advisable to abstain from alcohol and smoking a few days before the session to support optimal healing and results.

Here are a few other preparation tips:

• Arrive with a Clean Face – Remove all makeup and skincare products before the treatment.
• Plan for Minimal Activity – While Dysport doesn’t require downtime, some patients prefer to schedule the session on a less active day in case of slight redness or swelling.

What to Expect During Dysport Treatment

The Injection Process

A Dysport treatment session typically takes between 10 and 20 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated. Here’s what you can expect:

1. Preparation of the Skin—The provider will cleanse the treatment area to ensure it is free of oils, makeup, or debris.
2. Marking the Injection Sites – Small marks may be made to identify where Dysport will be injected, ensuring precise application for the best results.
3. Injection with Minimal Discomfort – Dysport injections are quick and relatively painless, often described as feeling like a tiny pinch. If you’re concerned about discomfort, ask your provider about using a topical numbing cream.

Your provider’s experience is critical here. An expert injector can ensure Dysport is administered to achieve a balanced, natural look.

Immediate Aftercare

After the procedure, you can have some bruising, swelling, or redness at the injection sites. Usually minor, these side effects go away in a day or two. A few easy aftercare guidelines can help guarantee the best possible outcomes:

• Avoid Touching the Treated Area—To prevent Dysport from spreading beyond the designated area, avoid massaging or rubbing the injection sites for at least 24 hours.
• Stay Upright – Keep your head up for at least four hours after treatment. Don’t spend the day lying down or doing anything physically demanding.
• Skip Excessive Heat and Sun Exposure—For 24 hours, Avoid hot showers, saunas, and intense sun exposure, as heat may increase swelling.

What Results to Expect from Dysport

When Will You See the Results?

Most people notice initial results within two to three days of their Dysport treatment. Full results can take up to two weeks to develop as the muscles gradually relax, allowing wrinkles to smooth out. One of the advantages of Dysport is its relatively fast-acting nature, with effects that can last between three and four months, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and the areas treated.

How Long Does Dysport Last?

The longevity of Dysport varies by patient, but most people find that the effects last around four months. Regular follow-up treatments every three to four months help maintain a smooth and youthful appearance. With consistent use, some patients even need less frequent treatments as their muscles “learn” to relax.
