Dysport ®

The newest option for both men and women to fight facial wrinkles, this simple treatment will also smooth and soften facial lines around the eyes and forehead for three to four months. This low-cost treatment provides dramatic results, and is comfortably performed in about ten minutes.

Dysport® smoothes out frown lines by temporarily immobilizing the muscles you use to frown, giving you have a more youthful, less stressed appearance. Many people find that because they cannot frown, they lose the urge to and soon unlearn the habit, making the need for treatments less frequent. Talk to your Sarasota Plastic Surgery surgeon about what results you might expect.

How Dysport® is Used

Usually three to five very small amounts of Dysport® are injected directly into the facial muscles between the eyebrows. Because the injections are virtually painless, no local anesthetic is needed, though your doctor can numb the skin over the area before injecting if it makes you more comfortable.

Over the next few days, the injected muscles gradually relax. While you won't notice it happening, you will be aware that you are now unable to frown. However, you will look completely natural because you will be able blink and raise your eyebrows normally. So you'll enjoy a more youthful, less stressed and angry look, all while maintaining a natural appearance.

Possible Side Effects

Though quite rare, there can be some side effects, including soreness or mild bruising around the injection site. For those few who experience a slight headache, a painkiller is effective. Your doctor will discuss other, even more rare side effects with you.
