At Aesthetic Center of Richmond Dermatology, we offer Dysport® as an effective, non-surgical option to reduce the formation of wrinkles and help restore a youthful look. If you’re looking to smooth forehead lines, crow’s feet, or other facial creases, these injections could be the right choice for you. Our skilled injectors are here to guide you through every step of your treatment, with minimal downtime.
This injectable neurotoxin works similarly to Botox® in treating fine lines and wrinkles. Nerve signals are temporarily blocked, preventing the muscle contraction that causes creases. It can help you achieve smoother, more refreshed skin with a simple, minimally invasive procedure.
Dysport® works by temporarily preventing the muscles responsible for wrinkles from contracting. It targets specific facial muscles, relaxing them and smoothing out existing lines. Whether you’re treating forehead lines, crow’s feet, or frown lines, this treatment delivers effective results.
Your session will typically take 15 to 30 minutes. The injections are quick, and while you may feel a slight pinch, most patients experience minimal discomfort.
The number of units used will differ based on the area being treated and the severity of your lines. During your consultation, we’ll determine the ideal plan for you.
Most patients see improvements within 2 to 3 days, with full results visible within two weeks. These effects can last at least 4 months, and regular treatments can help maintain a refreshed appearance.
This treatment offers a variety of benefits, including:
Results are not immediate and may take up to two weeks to fully develop.
A touch-up may occasionally be recommended based on individual response and desired outcome.
There is no downtime after treatment. You can resume most activities right after the session. However, avoid facials or massages that may disrupt the area for 24 hours.
Cost varies depending on the number of units required. We’ll provide a detailed estimate based on your treatment plan during your consultation.
This neurotoxin temporarily relaxes muscle tissue to smooth wrinkles and helps reduce the formation of new ones. Nerve signals are blocked from reaching targeted muscles, reducing muscle contraction.
Dysport® and Botox® are neurotoxins that work similarly, though Dysport® has a slightly different formulation. It spreads more easily over a larger area, making it well-suited for treating broader regions like the forehead.
Most sessions take 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.
The number needed depends on the area being treated. On average, treating forehead lines may require 20 to 30 units, while other areas may need different amounts.
Longevity varies by individual, treatment area, and dosing. Duration is correlated with the amount of product used and each patient's metabolism and response. Dysport® typically lasts at least 4 months. A follow-up treatment can help maintain a refreshed look.
This treatment is FDA-approved and generally safe when administered by a trained professional. There is a possibility of mild bruising, swelling, or headache, but serious side effects are rare.
You may begin seeing results within 2 to 3 days of treatment, with full effects visible within two weeks.
You can treat forehead lines, crow’s feet, frown lines, and bunny lines. It can also slim the jaw, reduce neck bands, and soften the appearance of a gummy smile. Additional off-label treatment areas may be available. Ask your provider what areas may be right for you.
Cost varies depending on the number of units needed.
