Dysport®
in Mason, Ohio

DYSPORT, Functional Aesthetics, Dr Naila Goldenberg, Mason, Ohio

Smooth Dynamic Wrinkles

As we age, the skin gradually loses elasticity and collagen, causing fine lines to develop into deeper, more visible wrinkles. Repetitive facial expressions such as smiling, frowning, or squinting repeatedly activate the same facial muscles, contributing to the formation of dynamic wrinkles over time.

Dysport, derived from botulinum toxin type A, is an advanced neuromodulator injectable treatment available at Functional Aesthetics Medical Spa in Mason, Ohio. It is specifically designed to relax targeted facial muscles and smooth dynamic wrinkles, including frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. By reducing muscle activity, Dysport helps restore a smoother, more youthful, and naturally refreshed appearance.

Dysport provides fast, natural-looking results and is widely used for non-surgical facial rejuvenation. This FDA-approved treatment helps prevent the progression of wrinkles while maintaining natural facial expression and long-term skin health.

Where can Dysport be injected?

Dysport is an excellent solution for treating frown lines between the eyebrows, commonly known as the “11” lines. It is also highly effective for smoothing glabellar lines—the vertical forehead lines that appear from squinting, stress, or deep concentration.

Additionally, Dysport works well around the corners of the eyes to reduce crow’s feet, helping to create a smoother, more youthful appearance by addressing wrinkles caused by smiling, squinting, or other facial expressions.

What are the benefits of Dysport treatment?

Relaxed Muscles

The active ingredient in treatments like Dysport and Botox, botulinum toxin A, is administered in small doses, ensuring both safety and effectiveness. By temporarily blocking nerve signals, the toxin prevents muscle contractions, which relaxes the muscles and smooths out visible wrinkles.

While these treatments provide immediate results, they also have long-term benefits. By reducing muscle activity, they prevent new wrinkles from forming, helping to maintain a youthful appearance over time. Regular treatments preserve your skin’s smoothness and prevent deeper lines from developing.

A Natural Appearance

Cosmetic treatments have significantly evolved, moving away from the overdone, exaggerated results of the past. Modern technologies and refined techniques now focus on achieving subtle, natural-looking outcomes. The aim is for treatments like fillers to enhance your features without making it obvious that you’ve had work done. This approach ensures that your appearance remains proportionate, with your natural beauty enhanced, not altered.

Smooth Consistency

The consistency of injectables plays a key role in achieving natural-looking results. Dysport is formulated with a lower protein concentration, allowing it to spread evenly across the treatment area. This ensures smooth, even results without the risk of lumps, bumps, or other unwanted effects.

Lasting Results

This treatment is FDA-approved to last for four months, though some patients enjoy results for up to six months. After a year of consistent treatments, many find they can space sessions further apart as less of the injectable is needed to relax the muscles. It’s important to note that you can stop treatment at any time, and your muscles will return to their previous range of motion. Over time, wrinkles may begin to reappear, but the effects are not permanent.

Prevents Wrinkles

We often get asked when to start neurotoxin injectables, and our answer is always the same: sooner is better. Starting early helps prevent wrinkles from worsening and reduces the number of wrinkles you’ll need to treat later. It’s much easier to prevent wrinkles than to correct them once they’ve set in.

It’s Convenient

Injectables are often called the “lunchtime facelift” because sessions take just 10 to 20 minutes, with minimal risk of side effects. There’s no bleeding, incisions, or scarring involved. You’ll see subtle changes, with wrinkles diminishing within a few days, but your appearance will remain natural—no dramatic transformations.

Minimal Downtime

Many aesthetic treatments require at least a day or two of rest so your skin can heal. But this treatment allows you to immediately return to work, attend a family event, or even sit by the pool.

What happens after my Dysport injections, and when do I see results?

Recovery from injectables is minimal. Follow these four simple steps:

  1. Practice facial movements like frowning or squinting to help the serum settle into muscles.
  2. Avoid strenuous exercise, facials, and saunas for at least four hours.
  3. Refrain from rubbing or massaging the treatment area for about four hours.
  4. Avoid lying down immediately to prevent pressure on the treatment site.

Results typically appear within 3-5 days and last for 3-4 months.

How does Dysport differ from Botox?

Both Botox and Dysport are forms of botulinum toxin, so their effects are generally similar. However, there are key differences:

  1. Speed of Results: Dysport often works faster, with effects typically appearing in 2-5 days, while Botox may take 4-7 days.

  2. Duration: Some Dysport users report results lasting up to 12 months, though typically it lasts 3-4 months, slightly longer than Botox, which averages 3 months.

  3. Coverage Area: Dysport spreads more widely than Botox. It covers a larger area (about 3 cm from the injection site), while Botox tends to stay more localized, affecting about 1 cm around the site.
