Dysport in Tampa

Our second most popular neuromodulator is Dysport. Like Botox, Dysport is an injectable that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles. Its formula contains botulinum toxin type A, which relaxes muscles that cause permanent fine lines and creases.

Dysport targets the appearance of dynamic wrinkles that appear when you frown, squint, or raise your eyebrows.

We have been offering Dys port since 2009, when it was first FDA-approved. Dysport is our second most popular neuromodulator and is widely used to promote a more youthful appearance.

Dysport interrupts communication between your nerves and the facial muscles that cause wrinkles. When the muscles don’t contract, the skin can rest, leading to a younger, more refreshed appearance without surgery or downtime.

It has its own unique formula that makes it ideal for treating wrinkles in larger areas like the forehead. While most people do not notice much difference between Botox and Dysport results, some people prefer Dysport for its natural appearance and its longevity.

Yes, Dysport injections are safe. When administered by a licensed, trained professional, Dysport in Tampa reliably softens fine lines and wrinkles, leading to a more youthful appearance.

Dysport’s formula has FDA-approval and has been widely used in aesthetic practices worldwide for many years. It is also safe for all skin tones and types.

Potential side effects of Dysport include:

• Mild swelling
• Redness
• Light bruising
• Headaches

However, these side effects typically subside on their own. Severe reactions remain rare, especially when injected by a licensed practitioner.

If you notice any unusual symptoms, contact us and we can examine your concerns to make sure there are no complications.

Good candidates for Dysport include anyone who:

• Is a healthy adult
• Has dynamic wrinkles
• Wants to prevent future wrinkles from forming
• Is not allergic to any of the ingredients
• Is not currently pregnant or nursing
• Is looking for an alternative to Botox
• Wants a treatment with minimal downtime

If you’re unsure whether you’re a good candidate for Dysport in Tampa, feel free to book a consultation. During this meeting, we review your medical history, identify treatment area(s), and discuss any concerns you may have, so we can make an informed recommendation about what aesthetic treatment might fit you best.

If you have had an allergic reaction to Botox or Dysport in the past, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or are experiencing an active skin infection, we suggest holding off your Dysport treatment until the issues are resolved.

After you get Dysport in Tampa, you will see improvement progress, and at two weeks, the benefit is visible. Once you’ve achieved your full results, you can expect them to last about 4 months.

After your appointment for Dysport in Tampa, results begin to appear after about 3 days and by day 12, most people have achieved their desired results. These results typically last 3 to 4 months, with many patients averaging 4 months.

Everyone’s individual metabolism, treatment area, and lifestyle impacts the longevity of the results and how quickly they may need maintenance treatments.

At your consultation, we can give you an estimated timeline for when to return for a touch-up.

Two popular injection options, Dysport and Botox, both relax facial muscles for fewer fine lines and wrinkles. However, they differ in formula, diffusion, and results timeline.

Dysport’s formula diffuses more through tissue, making it better for larger areas like the forehead. It is also FDA approved to last 4 months, which may be a little longer than some other neuromodulators.

At your personal consultation, you and your provider can determine which option is best for what you want.

During an appointment for Dysport in Tampa, you arrive for a consultation to discuss your goals and concerns. We also review your medical history, any relevant conditions, and your past experiences with injectables (if any).

Then, we develop a treatment plan that takes into consideration your facial structure, symmetry, and skin thickness. If Dysport makes sense for you, we can proceed with the injections.

After creating your personalized treatment plan, we cleanse the area and apply a numbing agent if needed. Then, we inject the Dysport with a fine needle. You may feel a light pressure or slight pinch, but most patients tolerate the sensation very well.

After we complete the injections, we review aftercare with you. Most patients return to their normal routine right away.

Injections of Dysport in Tampa cause minimal discomfort. Most patients describe it as a small pinch or pressure and they usually tolerate it well.

If needed, we can also provide a topical numbing agent or ice packs for additional comfort. After treatment, you may experience some redness and swelling, but these side effects typically resolve on their own after a few hours.

Immediately after injections with Dysport in Tampa, the treatment area may feel slightly sensitive. Remember to avoid rubbing the treated muscles to prevent the injections from moving from their intended location.

By the second day, most side effects go away, though you may not notice a difference yet.

By day 3, results typically become visible, with softer wrinkles and fewer fine lines.

Full results continue to develop over the next two weeks, most patients have much less noticeable wrinkles.

Dysport has virtually no downtime, though you might experience symptoms like mild swelling, tenderness, small bumps, and light bruising. However, these typically subside on their own within a few hours. Most patients return to normal activities right away.

Unintentional Dysport migration can occur if proper aftercare instructions aren’t followed.

To prevent migration of Dysport, make sure to:

• Remain upright for at least 4 hours after treatment
• Avoid touching, rubbing, or pressing the treatment area
• Limit exercise for 24 hours after treatment

If you think you notice migration, contact us right away for an assessment to determine if it’s simply the injections settling or something else. If needed, we can provide corrective injections.

Yes, we often recommend pairing Dysport in Tampa with other injectables or cosmetic treatments for targeting unique concerns with more precision.

Depending on our goals, we may recommend pairing Dysport with:

• Botox: For targeting more localized areas, pairing Botox with Dysport provides additional smoothing to smaller wrinkles.
• Microneedling: While Dysport relaxes facial muscles for fewer fine lines and wrinkles, microneedling further improves the quality of your skin—targeting acne scars and hyperpigmentation.
• Chemical peels: Chemical peels exfoliate damaged skin and leave you fresh-faced and glowing, making them a perfect pairing for Dysport.
• Lasers: Our advanced laser treatments, like intense pulsed light, also provide skin rejuvenation, making them another excellent pairing with Dysport.

By combining treatments, we can address multiple skin concerns and create overall enhancements to your skin and facial features.

Results from Dysport naturally fade on their own—it is not a permanent treatment. After about 3 to 5 months, we recommend patients return for a touch-up so they can continue to enjoy their results.

However, everyone’s body metabolizes the formula differently, so if you’re unsure, you can always book another consultation to determine when you might need a touch-up. During your initial consultation, we can also give you a recommended timeline for future treatments.

As Dysport wears off, your features simply return to their natural state and wrinkles continue to form. With proper injection techniques, injectables do not stretch or damage your skin.

We recommend returning for a touch-up session when the Dysport wears off.

If you’ve heard of “preventative Botox,” you might wonder if we can use Dysport for the same purpose.

The answer is yes: We can use Dysport in Tampa for patients looking to slow the formation of wrinkles. The temporary paralysis of the facial muscles pauses the development of more wrinkles and helps patients maintain a more youthful appearance for longer.
