Dysport® in Austin, TX

To prevent wrinkles and lines from forming on the face, Levesque Plastic Surgery in Austin, TX is proud to offer Dysport to our patients. Dysport treatments are common among both men and women; and provides stunning, natural results that aid in graceful aging. Dysport is a clean and purified strain of botulinum toxin (abobotulinumtoxinA) that temporarily blocks the movements of the facial muscles caused by expressive movements. Dysport can improve dynamic lines, which form when muscles contract on the forehead and around the eyes. These lines can disappear when your muscles relax, but dynamic folds can sometimes persist. To soften these dynamic folds, Dysport is injected to relax the muscles and decrease the appearance of the folds. Dysport injections are commonly placed between the eyebrows (glabella), Crow's feet, and across the forehead.  Call 512-487-5975 to set up an appointment at our office to learn how Dysport can rejuvenate your appearance. 

How much does Dysport cost?

The cost of Dysport will depend on how many units are used for the treatment. This number will vary based on your desired results and goals. During your consultation, we will develop your personal treatment plan and estimate your costs accordingly. Dysport can produce beautiful results when performed by a skilled and well trained injector. However, it can be unsafe if done by someone without the proper training, which is why it's better to avoid places offering very low priced or knock-off injections. To save money, ask about the ASPIRE Rewards Program so you can earn points for your Dysport treatment and other Galderma products like Restylane. 

How long will my results last?

Your Dysport results can last up to 3 months. Most patients make an appointment every 3 months or so to maintain their results, but you may come back sooner if desired. If you are getting Dysport while you are younger as a preventative treatment, you may want to schedule treatments further apart. After listening to your goals and developing your treatment plan, Dr. Levesque will be able to suggest when to schedule your next appointment. 

What is the difference between Dysport and fillers?

Dysport and fillers are both treatments that reduce wrinkles and smooth fine lines. Dysport relaxes the overused facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, like frown lines. Dysport relaxes the overused facial muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, like lines between the eyebrows (glabella), Crow's feet (in the outer corners of the eyes), forehead wrinkles, and smile lines. Injectable fillers add volume under the skin to correct hollow areas and decrease static wrinkles. After hearing your goals, Dr. Levesque may recommend Dysport, fillers or a combination of both for a liquid "facelift".  

What is the difference between Dysport, Botox and Xeomin?

Dsyport, botox and Xeomin are brands of neuromodulators that use botulinum toxin (type A). Each of these relax facial muscles to smooth dynamic wrinkles, but each formula is designed to suit specific areas and needs. There are subtle differences between them including the dosing amounts, treatment spread, and the length of results. Dr. Levesque will choose the best injection to fit your goals.

Is Dysport safe?

When used properly, Dysport rarely causes any complications. However, it is important to select an injector who has had training and experience with injecting this medication. Overusing Dysport can create undesirable outcomes. A skilled injector will use just enough Dysport to effectively freeze the muscles that cause wrinkles while leaving nearby muscles unaffected. One of the most popular cosmetic treatments on the market today, Dysport is safe and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). 

After Dysport injections you can get back to your regular routine, but strenuous activity should be avoided for a least 4 hours. The treated area should not be massaged for at least 24 hours. Make up can be applied gently to the treated area. The treated area(s) of the face may appear swollen, bruised, or red for 2-3 days, but you will not develop any lasting or serious side effects. In many cases, it typically takes about 7-10 days before the full effects of Dysport can be seen. The results usually last 2-3 months. You should speak with your injector abou the right time to schedule your next appointment at Levesque Plastic Surgery to refreshen your results. 

Dysport treatments are done as an outpatient procedure at our office, Levesque Plastic Surgery. If it is your first time visit us in Austin, TX for Dysport, we typically perform the injection during your consultation with Dr. Levesque. You will be asked to make several facial expressions that engage the upper face, such as squinting, frowning, etc., which will allow us to determine where the injections should be placed. The skin will be cleansed and Dysport will be applied with a fine needle, followed by a cold compress to help minimize discomfort and bruising. You can request a numbing cream to make the procedure more comfortable, but the vast majority of our patients do not use numbing cream. Dysport injections typically take about 10-15 minutes. After your treatment, you can resume your normal daily routine as soon as you feel able. 

Dysport is a great product for individuals who wish to soften the appearance of dynamic lines and wrinkles on their face without undergoing invasive surgery. Dysport can also be used as a preventative treatment, even if you are younger- keep in mind how often you make facial expressions. This is a terrific non-surgical treatment if you are frustrated by forehead wrinkles or parallel lines between your brows. Dysport can also improve upon the lines around your eyes (Crow's feet). If you have deeper lines, however, a filler product like Restylane may be a more suitable option. In addition, if you are older with sagging skin and widespread wrinkles, you may be a better candidate for a face lift procedure. This would provide you with a more dramatic result that is longer lasting. Levesque Plastic Surgery additionally offers eyelid surgeries, facelifts, and brow lifts as great alternatives for those seeking further facial rejuvenation.
