What Is Dysport?

Natural-Looking Wrinkle Relaxation

Dysport is an injectable wrinkle relaxer that improves dynamic lines and creases throughout the face, including frown lines between the eyes. Like BOTOX®, Dysport is created from a purified strain of type A botulinum toxin to temporarily soften or freeze certain muscle groups in the facial area. When these areas are addressed, the repeated contractions that produce dynamic lines will be prevented, and the skin around the muscle will be tightened. This enables you to frown, smile, and make other facial expressions without worrying about the formation of wrinkles and fine lines.

At James Rough, M.D. Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. James Rough and Claudia Rough, MD, are thrilled to administer Dysport injections to help Tucson, AZ, individuals look refreshed and youthful.

What Can I Expect From Dysport?

Dysport injections are administered in one of our private treatment rooms after your consultation, lasting no more than a few minutes. A numbing agent is typically unnecessary because the injections are given using a fine-gauge needle that causes very little pain, but it can be given upon request. After the treatment region has been sanitized, a number of Dysport injections will be placed along the brow and forehead region, followed by a cold pack to limit inflammation and bruising.

Once you're through with your treatment at James Rough, M.D. Plastic Surgery, you may return to your daily tasks, but you should plan to stay away from strenuous activities for at least a full day.

Smooth Away the Signs of Time

What conditions does Dysport address?

Dysport is designed to treat dynamic wrinkles, including:

  • Moderate to severe glabellar lines (the “11s” between the brows)
  • Horizontal forehead lines from repeated raising of the brows
  • Crow’s feet around the eyes
  • Bunny lines across the nose
  • Wrinkles around the lips or chin dimpling

By targeting the facial muscles responsible for expression lines, Dysport helps smooth skin and slow the visible signs of aging.

What Are The Benefits Of Dysport?

Over time, fine lines make people seem older than they are on the inside. Dysport sessions at James Rough, M.D. Plastic Surgery help our Tucson, AZ, patients refresh their appearance and their confidence through many incredible benefits, such as:

  • Relax and target wrinkles in the skin, especially close to the glabellar ("11") lines
  • Keep the sessions brief and efficient, with little to no expected downtime after the appointments
  • Organic, long-lasting outcomes
  • Boost self-esteem and help you feel like yourself again

How Dysport Fits Your Goals

Am I A Candidate For Dysport?

Dysport is a good choice if you are seeking a nonsurgical option to enhance mild, moderate, or severe vertical glabellar (frown) lines that appear between the eyebrows. Since dynamic lines are the result of repetitive movements, they could develop at any age and make you look mad, sad, or tired. Dysport is a convenient, efficient solution that addresses dynamic lines without giving you an unnatural look. Since Dysport works to treat a group of fine lines, it's also an option to treat wrinkles around your eyes.

You may be a good candidate for Dysport if you:

  • Are bothered by frown lines, forehead lines, or crow’s feet
  • Want a non-surgical solution for a younger, more relaxed appearance
  • Are in good overall health and not pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Have realistic expectations about what Dysport results can achieve

Since dynamic wrinkles can develop at any age, both younger patients seeking prevention and older patients looking for correction can benefit from this treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost for Dysport will depend on the amount of formula required according to your goals. In your consultation, your injector will build your unique Dysport treatment outline and estimate your cost. Ask if we have any specials on Dysport and which forms of payment we take.

Both BOTOX and Dysport are cosmetic injections to improve dynamic wrinkles. Dysport outcomes generally are seen faster compared with BOTOX. As an added benefit, some people say that Dysport outcomes last longer than BOTOX. During your consultation, your injector will help you decide whether Dysport or another wrinkle relaxer is recommended for you.

A lot of people aren't aware of the difference between injectable wrinkle relaxers and injectable wrinkle fillers. A wrinkle relaxer injectable helps smooth dynamic lines and creases by temporarily preventing certain facial expressions. Injectable fillers, however, are placed under the surface of the skin to soften static wrinkles, treat volume loss, and create a more rejuvenated appearance. During your consultation, your injector will talk with you about your aesthetic goals to help ascertain whether Dysport, a wrinkle filler, or a blend of the two will create your ideal enhancements.

Results last around 3–4 months, depending on your facial muscles and metabolism.
