What specific area on your face you want to treat?
Common treatment areas: Frown lines: Primarily used to smooth out the "frown lines" caused by wrinkles between the eyebrows. Forehead wrinkles: Improves horizontal forehead wrinkles that appear when raising the head. Crow's feet: Reduces fine lines that appear at the corners of the eyes when laughing or squinting.
How is the treatment conducted?
Dysport treatments are simple and safe, taking only about 10-20 minutes, and you can resume your normal activities immediately afterward without affecting your daily work.
How long does it take to see results with Dysport treatment, and how long do the effects last?
The effects of treatment vary from person to person. For example, in cases of frown lines, the effects may begin to appear as early as 24 hours, and the results can last for up to 5 months.
Does long-term use of Dysport require gradual increases in dosage?
No, the doctor will determine the dosage based on the specific condition of each area. Reports indicate that repeated treatments can prolong the duration of the effects and reduce side effects with increased treatment frequency.
At first glance, Botox and Dysport appear identical, both using botulinum type A as muscle relaxers to reduce wrinkles. However, key differences exist:
Concentration: Dysport is more diluted than Botox (about 3 to 1). This means more Dysport is needed for the same area, but it’s cheaper per unit, so the overall treatment cost is similar.
Spread: Dysport spreads faster over larger areas, making it ideal for the forehead and 11 lines. Botox, being more concentrated, is better for smaller areas like lip lines and Crow’s feet.
Patients treated with Dysport often see visible improvements in their appearance as early as two to three days post-treatment. The effects of Dysport typically last for three to four months, with touch-ups available to maintain the results. In comparison, Botox may take a bit longer to show effects, typically between three to seven days.
