Dysport®

What is Dysport®?

Dysport® is a prescription medicine for the treatment of frown lines, horizontal forehead lines and crow’s fee round the eyes. It is composed of a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, similar to Botox, but with a slightly different formulation that allows it to spread more evenly in larger treatment areas. Dysport® is particularly effective for treating moderate to severe frown lines, giving your skin a smoother, more youthful appearance.

How Dysport® Works

Dysport® works by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. When the targeted muscles are relaxed, the skin above them smooths out, reducing the appearance of wrinkles. The injection process is quick, taking about 15-30 minutes, depending on the treatment areas.

At La Pelle, our skilled injectors take great care to ensure precise, controlled injections that deliver the best possible results. Dysport®’s unique formulation allows it to spread more easily across larger areas, making it ideal for treating larger regions of the face with fewer injections.

What to Expect During Treatment

The Dysport® treatment process is simple and convenient:

• Consultation: We begin with a detailed consultation to discuss your goals and examine the areas you’d like treated. This allows us to create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
• Injection: During the treatment, Dysport® is injected using a fine needle into the targeted muscles. The process is relatively painless, and most patients experience only mild discomfort, if any.
• Aftercare: After your treatment, you can return to your normal activities right away. We recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive sun exposure for the first 24 hours after treatment.
