Dysport is a competitor injectable to Botox Cosmetic. It works similarly by paralyzing targeted muscles where injected to prevent wrinkle formation. Dysport is said to work faster than Botox (within 1 to 3 days as compared with the 3 to 5 days of Botox). It is also said to spread more rapidly, making it a better option for areas like crow’s feet. You may request either injectable when you visit Dr. Zuckerman’s practice.
Treatments & Uses of Dysport
As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Zuckerman has hundreds of hours of injectables experience and is an expert injector of Dysport. In his practice in New York City, the most commonly requested treatments using this injectable include:
Forehead Antiwrinkle Treatment
This treatment involves injections on the forehead to address the formation of transverse lines and is the most common type of musculoparalytic treatment.
Glabella “11’s” Treatment
Some patients develop vertical lines between the brows as they age. Dysport injections will address these lines.
Crow’s Feet Treatment
Some patients suffer from fine lines radiating out from the eyes, often due to squinting. Dr. Zuckerman can address these lines with Dysport.
Non-Surgical Brow Lift
A more advanced technique using Dysport, Dr. Zuckerman can inject a muscle around the eyes to decrease the force pulling down the brows.
Bunny Lines Treatment
Dr. Zuckerman can inject Dysport7regl; Cosmetic to address fine lines on either side of the bridge of the nose.
Facial Slimming Treatment
For patients with a square or angular jaw, Dr. Zuckerman can inject Dysport to decrease the prominence of certain cheek muscles.
Neck Rejuvenation
Dr. Zuckerman can inject Dysport in the neck to address platysmal bands, informally known as turkey neck, or to ameliorate transverse lines.
Important Aspects of Treatment
Dysport Treatment Longevity
Treatment takes approximately one week to set in and lasts three to four months.
Dysport Recovery (Downtime)
Dysport treatments involve little to no downtime, and patients often return to work immediately after treatment. There may be slight bleeding or redness at the injection sites, but these will resolve within a few hours.
Dysport Pretreatment Guidelines
A few precautions before undergoing musculoparalytic injections are techniques to minimize bruising: no NSAIDs such aspirin or ibuprofen within a couple days before and a day after; don’t drink alcohol to excess a day before and a day after, refrain from lying flat or working out within 2 hours after injection. Makeup can be worn the day following treatment.e upper lip
