Dysport®

Dysport® is the FDA-approved wrinkle treatment now rivaling Botox®. Dysport works very much like Botox, keeping those muscles from making facial and neck lines deeper. Here’s the scoop on Dysport:

• Dysport works very much like Botox and has a long safety track record from years of use in Europe. In Europe, Dysport is called “Reloxin”.
• Dysport lasts at least as long as Botox (3-4 months). Some studies have shown that it lasts longer than Botox, but the U.S. jury is still out on that one.
• Dysport begins to work more quickly than Botox. You’ll start to see your Dysport results after only 1-2 days. Botox typically takes 5-7 days to begin working.

We will discuss with you which lines you’d like to see improved, then we will let you know if Botox®, Dysport®, Xeomin® (or some other treatment) is appropriate for you. The quick procedure can be done on the same day as your initial consultation. Dr. Kavali or one of her Physician Assistants will perform your Botox or Dysport or Xeomin treatment. Our Physician Assistants both have a wealth of experience with these products—they even do Dr. Kavali’s own Botox and Dysport and Xeomin treatments! You will know prior to your appointment which provider will be available for your treatment.

Botox® and Dysport® and Xeomin® treatments have no downtime; you can immediately resume your normal activities. Within about a week, you will notice that the treated areas have less movement. The lines in the skin may take up to one month to completely relax. We like to have you come back 2 weeks after your first treatment, so we can fine-tune any areas that may need more units of Botox or Dysport or Xeomin for full effect.

We measure Botox® and Dysport® and Xeomin® in “units”. The amount needed depends greatly on how thick your muscles are, how deep your lines are, how many prior Botox or Dysport or Xeomin treatments you’ve had, and what type of results you’re seeking. Typically, it takes around 30-40 units of Botox to treat the forehead, 20-25 units of Botox to treat the glabella, and 15-20 units of Botox to treat crows’ feet.

Dysport “units” and Botox “units” are NOT the same. You’ll need more Dysport units to get a full result. The good news is that Dysport is less costly than Botox, so you’ll still save on your treatments!

Xeomin “units” are comparable to Botox “units”, so you should expect to need 30-40 units of Xeomin to treat your forehead, 20-25 units for the glabella (the 11s), and 15-20 units of Xeomin to treat the crows’ feet.

Botox injections are a temporary solution for the treatment of wrinkles. The effects typically last about 3-4 months. Dysport results last at least as long as Botox results, and some studies suggest Dysport lasts even longer. Xeomin results should last 3-4 months.

Serious side effects are very rare. You may have some local numbness, temporary swelling, bruising, or a slight burning sensation during your treatment. Some people have reported temporary headache and nausea. Very rarely, a patient is reported to experience no wrinkle improvement at all.
