Wrinkles around our eyes, eyebrows, and forehead are a natural part of aging. While this can be a meaningful reminder of our expressions and emotions as we experience life, they do not have to define how we feel about our appearance.
The upper part of your face can be especially prone to the formation of wrinkles, and at Après Plastic Surgery, we understand the impact this can have on your self-esteem, confidence, and overall quality of life. We offer Dysport® in Portland to help soften wrinkles and create a smoother, more youthful appearance that helps clients look and feel their best. Learn more about this facial neurotoxin injectable procedure and if it may be right for you and your aesthetic goals.
Dysport® is a popular injectable treatment used to reduce signs of aging around the eyebrow and forehead region of the face by reducing wrinkles and creating a smoother skin appearance. Formulated with the neurotoxin abobotulinumtoxinA, this is an FDA-cleared treatment used to improve the look of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, also known as glabellar lines. It works by relaxing facial muscles to create a rejuvenated appearance.
While Dysport® is most commonly used as an anti-aging treatment, it can also be used to treat neck muscle spasms (cervical dystonia) and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in eligible patients. Our Portland team can help you determine what uses of Dysport® best support your needs.
Dysport® is a fast-acting way to achieve smoother, more youthful-looking skin. Clients in Portland can expect to see results within two to three days after their injection, and many notice improvements within just 24 hours. Results will continue to improve over time, with the most optimal improvement seen at around 10-14 days.
Your Dysport® results can last up to five months, though our team at Après Plastic Surgery typically recommends patients return every three to four months to maintain a consistent appearance.
Because Dysport® and BOTOX® are both popular neurotoxin treatments, many Portland clients have questions about the differences between these injectables and which one may be most appropriate for their aesthetic goals. Both treatments relax muscles beneath the skin to prevent muscle contractions and reduce skin movements, thus resulting in a smoother look. They are both made with the same main ingredient, abobotulinumtoxinA.
While Dysport® focuses primarily on the glabellar lines, BOTOX® is approved for use on more areas of the face, including crow’s feet and the cheeks. However, Dysport® has a thinner consistency than BOTOX® and can more easily spread to cover a wider range. If you are looking to soften the glabellar lines as well as reduce general wrinkles in the forehead for an overall smoother appearance, Dysport® may be right for you. If you are looking for precise, targeted treatment, you may prefer BOTOX®.
Dysport® also has a quicker onset, whereas BOTOX® may take 7-10 days to produce results. Ultimately, the right injectable treatment for you will depend on your unique needs. One of our licensed injectors can discuss your treatment goals and guide you toward the right care plan for you.
Dysport® is a clinically proven way to reduce signs of aging and restore a youthful glow.
