Dysport® in Newport Beach
Are those pesky frown lines getting you down? Dysport might be the answer you’ve been searching for! It’s a popular injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes the muscles that cause those lines, giving you a smoother, more youthful appearance.
Dysport®, like Botox® Cosmetic, Jeuveau®, Xeomin®, and Daxxify®, works by relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles. People often call them “wrinkle relaxers” or “muscle relaxers.”
Dysport and Botox use botulinum toxin type A, but Dysport has a slightly different formulation that can offer other unique benefits. Dysport can treat a wider range of facial wrinkles, including those around the eyes and mouth. Dr. Goretti Ho Taghva and her team of aesthetic nurse injectors love helping Orange County women and men feel like themselves again with Dysport.
Wrinkle reduction
Botox smooths out those lines and helps prevent new ones from forming, so your face looks younger and fresher.
Quick results
You’ll start seeing changes in just a few days and effects can last for three to four months.
Versatile
Dysport is great for treating different areas of the face.
How Does Dysport® Work?
Dysport works by relaxing the facial muscles and reducing muscle contractions in targeted areas, which helps minimize the appearance of wrinkles and lines.
Is Dysport® Right For Me?
Dysport injections are great for treating frown lines and wrinkles for most healthy adults, especially if other skincare methods haven’t given you the results you’re looking for. While it’s FDA-approved for adults 18 and older, it’s most effective for those between 30 and 65.
Dysport works best for mild to severe wrinkles that don’t improve with topical treatments. We don’t, however, recommend Dysport if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have specific skin allergies. It’s unsuitable for those with overly weak muscles, deep facial scars, or thick, oily skin.
What Can I Treat With Dysport®?
Dysport is a versatile option for helping Orange County men and women tackle various cosmetic concerns. It’s known as one of the top non-invasive treatments for:
- Facial wrinkles
- Frown lines
- Forehead lines
- Lines between the eyebrows (aka 11 lines)
- Crow’s feet
Unlike Botox, Dysport has a slightly different formulation and is sometimes injected deeper. This can help cover a larger area with each injection, making it especially useful for targeting specific facial locations.
When Will I See Results?
One of the biggest advantages of Dysport is its speed. You’ll often start to see results within a few days of treatment, while Botox can take a bit longer to kick in. You should start noticing the effects of Dysport within 2-3 days, with the full results showing up within a week.
How Long Do Dysport® Results Last?
Dysport results generally last about 3-4 months. Many people opt for follow-up sessions to keep their results looking great, but how often you get maintenance treatments depends on how fast your body breaks down the Dysport.
Aftercare and Healing
Dysport is a quick and easy procedure. After your appointment, you can go right back to your normal routine. There are just a few things you should avoid for a short period after your treatment:
- For the first hour or two it’s best to stay sat up. This helps prevent the Dysport from spreading to areas other than the intended target.
- Avoid intense workouts for the first day. This will help prevent the Dysport from moving around too much.
- You can gently pat the areas dry after your treatment, but avoid rubbing them. This can irritate the skin and potentially affect the results.
How to Prepare for Dysport®
Here’s our quick checklist to help you prepare for a smooth-sailing Dysport treatment:
- Eat a good meal with plenty of water to avoid feeling dizzy.
- Try to lay off alcohol and cigarettes for at least a week before your appointment. They can make bruising more likely and slow down healing.
- Give aspirin, ibuprofen, or other blood thinners a break for a few days. Supplements like vitamin E, omega-3s, and garlic can also thin your blood.
- If you’re a bruise magnet, arnica or bromelain supplements might help.
- Schedule your appointment at least two weeks before a big event to give Dysport time to work its magic.
- Drink plenty of water.
- Loose clothing will be more comfortable after the injections.
- Arrive with a clean face; your injector will cleanse it again before the procedure.
At What Age Should I Start Getting Dysport®?
There’s no one-size-fits-all age for starting Dysport. Some people prefer to start in their early 30s to prevent wrinkles from forming, but the best time is when you notice those fine lines appearing, usually in your late 20s or early 30s.
How Much Does Dysport® Cost in Newport Beach?
The average cost of a Dysport treatment in Los Angeles is $503, according to RealSelf. With a 95% “Worth It” rating on RealSelf, it’s clear that most patients find Dysport to be worth the investment.
Is Dysport® Safe?
Dysport is safe and FDA-approved to treat fine lines and wrinkles. While they eventually resolve naturally, some patients may experience minor side effects like bruising, swelling, or redness around the injection site.
More serious side effects from Dysport are rare, but it’s important to keep an eye out for any of the following and contact your Newport Beach injector if you experience them:
- Allergic reactions like a skin rash, itching, hives, or swelling of the face, lips, or tongue
- Breathing difficulties
- Changes in vision
- Chest pain or tightness
