Dysport® in Liverpool, NY

Our providers offer Liverpool, NY patients several nonsurgical options for rejuvenating the skin. Dysport is an injectable wrinkle treatment that acts just like BOTOX to soften and reduce dynamic wrinkles and lines throughout the face. Dynamic wrinkles are caused by repetitive facial expressions and movements (like laughing, frowning, and smiling) that over several decades make the muscles of the face taut. This causes the skin over the muscle to have a grooved line that can be seen even when the face is resting. Dysport is specially created to correct the most frequent dynamic wrinkles: the vertical lines between the eyebrows known as frown lines. It temporarily blocks signals to the treated muscle so the line smooths out and gives you natural-looking results. Housel Dermatology, P.C. can tell you more about Dysport injectable muscle relaxer treatments to make your face look more youthful.

Dysport is a good choice if you want a nonsurgical option to improve mild, moderate, or severe vertical glabellar (frown) lines that appear between the eyebrows. Because dynamic wrinkles and lines are created by chronic use, they may become visible even in younger patients and make you appear mad, sad, or tired. Dysport is an effective, fast treatment that addresses dynamic wrinkles without leaving a "frozen" appearance. Since Dysport's formula expands beyond frown lines to reach a group of wrinkles, it's also great for Crow's feet, which are the small wrinkles in the corners of the eyes. Many patients at Housel Dermatology, P.C. notice visible improvements in their appearance 1 – 2 weeks following their procedure, and these improvements remain for 3 - 4 months.

Injections of Dysport are administered in one of our private treatment rooms following your consultation with one of our providers and last around 15 – 30 minutes. Dysport is injected using a fine needle and creates little pain making local anesthetic or numbing cream unnecessary. The treatment area will be cleaned and well-placed injections will be done across the eyebrows. Once the injections are complete, a cold compress will be applied to lessen bruising and swelling. Following your injections at Housel Dermatology, P.C., you can go back to your regular tasks, but you should avoid taxing activities for at least one day.

Following a Dysport session, you may see light redness and swelling at and around the injected area, but this generally will disappear within 1 – 3 days. You may want to apply cold compresses to decrease the chance of bruising. Improvements are commonly noticeable in 1 – 2 weeks as the severity of your dynamic wrinkles is minimized for a softer, smoother appearance. Your results should last for around 3 – 4 months. More injections may be done at Housel Dermatology, P.C. to extend your results.
