Dysport in Reno, Sparks & Hidden Valley, NV Reno NV

Q: How does Dysport work?

Dysport is made of botulinum toxin A (like Botox). When injected into specific muscles, it temporarily inhibits muscle. This improves dynamic lines and wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions and allows them to smooth out.

Q: How is Dysport different from Botox?

While Dysport and Botox are both made up of botulinum toxin A and work in similar ways, Dysport has a slightly larger diffusion radius so can be used for specific areas to maximize this benefit. Dysport is FDA-approved for about 3 months like Botox is, but some patients feel that is can last longer or shorter in them than Botox does.

Q: How long does Dysport last?

Dysport is FDA-approved for about 3 months like Botox. Exactly how long it lasts depends on the treatment area, your metabolism, muscle activity, and dosage used. You may come in as you see fit, any time after the 3-month mark, for maintenance injections to keep up your results.

Q: Should I avoid anything after Dysport injections?

After Dysport treatment, you’ll want to avoid touching or rubbing the treatment area, facial massage, and strenuous exercise. Following your provider’s aftercare instructions will ensure you achieve the optimal results.

Q: Are there any side effects with Dysport?

Side effects with any of the neuromodulators including Dysport are rare but most commonly include redness, swelling, temporary headache, and bruising. Some patients also experience mild tenderness of the treatment area.

What is Dysport®?

Although nothing can completely stop the process of aging, some great botulinum neurotoxins have been created to treat lines and wrinkles on the face. One of these advancements comes in the form of Dysport®, a brand of botulinum toxin that’s similar to what’s found in BOTOX®. Dysport® injections, as compared with BOTOX®, may vary in dosage, time of onset, and how long the results last. Each patient is different and may prefer one botulinum toxin product over the other.

"Dr. Jennifer is an excellent physician. I could not have been more happy with my time with her. I've seen Dr. Jennifer twice -- and in both occurrences she truly listened to my concerns. The treatment she provided was excellent and effective. As long as she is practicing in Reno, I will be her patient!" - Anonymous

For cosmetic purposes, Dysport® is FDA-approved to treat glabellar lines (frown lines) for three to four months. The wrinkle treatment temporarily inhibits muscle contractions in and around the injection site.

Dysport® injections are usually used to treat men and women in their 30s – 70s to prevent wrinkles on the face. If patients receive their initial treatment with Dysport® before wrinkles show up, it may be able to prevent lines from forming in the first place.

When used correctly, Dysport® will result in a very natural look, temporarily diminishing wrinkles and relaxing facial muscle spasms.

The Procedure

Anesthesia is not required with Dysport®. Instead, the area will be cleaned and prepared for the cosmetic injections, and depending on your desired results, multiple injections may be required. Dysport® treatments are performed in the Janiga MDs Reno, NV office, and the procedure generally takes about 10 to 15 minutes, though the spread of toxin will continue well into recovery.

Once Dysport® is injected into the facial muscles, it takes two to seven days for the formula to go into effect and to see full results. There may be some injection site tenderness for a few hours, , but as the botulinum toxin settles, these effects will fade.

Recovery & Results

Patients may experience a small pinpoint bruise at the site of the intramuscular injection. This is not common, but it can happen. When injected, Dysport® takes about 20 minutes to be absorbed, so you will see small areas of injection site swelling where the injections were placed. It will fade relatively quickly.

Dysport® generally lasts for approximately three to four months, but before treating patients with Dysport® injections, our providers will gather their medical history to ensure there is no increased risk for negative side effects.

We ask you to refrain from vigorous physical activity for four hours after the procedure.
