Dysport

Dysport is abobotulinumtoxinA, manufactured by Galderma Laboratories, and is injected into actively animating muscles in areas of the face and neck that cause wrinkles when creased over and over.
Dysport is supplied in 300 units/vial but is given in the same liquid quantities as Botox.
Most common areas treated are the forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet, chin dimpling, and platysma bands
Onset of muscle relaxation usually begins at 2-3 days and results are temporary, lasting up to 4 months.
Contraindicated in pregnant or lactating women

The Truth:

If you have taken aspirin, ibuprofen, supplemental Omega-3 or Vitamin E up to two weeks before treatment, you will have an increased risk of bruising at an injection site.
Even if you have NOT taken these medications, there is always the possibility of bruising.
If you are used to holding up your eyebrows as a way of lifting lids, treatment of the forehead may make your lids feel “heavy” because you can’t raise your brows. This will be discussed during evaluation.
Do not massage areas treated with Dysport as this can spread the product to unwanted areas
