Dysport at Boston Medical Aesthetics

Refresh your appearance and soften expression lines with Dysport at Boston Medical Aesthetics. Our expert providers, including nurse practitioners and registered nurses, deliver safe, natural-looking results tailored to your aesthetic goals. Dysport is an excellent option for those seeking a quick, non-surgical solution to reduce wrinkles and restore a youthful, relaxed appearance.

What Is Dysport?

Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator used to smooth fine lines and wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions like frowning, squinting, and smiling. Like Botox, our Boston Dysport injections contain a purified form of botulinum toxin that temporarily relaxes specific muscles in the face. Originally developed in the UK in the 1990s, Dysport has been widely used across more than 60 countries and is recognized for its effectiveness and natural-looking results.

While Dysport and Botox are quite similar, some patients find that Dysport may take effect slightly faster or diffuse more easily across larger treatment areas. During your complimentary consultation, we'll help determine which product is best suited for your needs.

What Can Dysport Treat?

Dysport effectively targets a range of cosmetic concerns and is particularly ideal for treating larger or more active muscle groups. Common treatment areas include:

  • Forehead lines
  • Frown lines (glabellar lines or "11s")
  • Crow's feet
  • Bunny lines (on the bridge of the nose)
  • Lip lines
  • Gummy smile
  • Chin dimpling
  • Neck bands (platysma bands)
  • Downturned mouth corners
  • Jawline slimming

What to Expect During Treatment

Your Dysport treatment at Boston Medical Aesthetics will be efficient and comfortable. After cleansing the treatment area, your provider may apply ice or a topical numbing cream to minimize discomfort. Dysport is then carefully injected using a very fine needle into targeted facial muscles.

Most patients find the procedure very tolerable, and there is no required downtime. You may experience slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, which usually resolve within a few days.

When Will I See Results?

Dysport begins to work within several days, with full results visible in 2 weeks. Effects generally last between 3 to 4 months. With consistent maintenance treatments, many patients find that their results improve over time.

Dysport as a Preventive Treatment

You don't have to wait for deep lines to appear before considering Dysport. Many of our patients start Dysport treatments early to prevent the formation of wrinkles. When used consistently over time, Dysport can help preserve smooth skin and delay visible signs of aging.

Is Dysport Right for You?

Dysport is a safe and effective option for most healthy adults looking to smooth facial lines without surgery. It is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, nursing, have certain medical conditions, or have known allergies to Dysport ingredients.

During your consultation for Dysport Boston cosmetic injectable specialists at BMA will review your medical history and current medications to ensure Dysport is appropriate for you. Your safety and satisfaction are always our top priorities.

Combining Dysport with Other Treatments

To enhance your results, Dysport can be paired with other cosmetic treatments such as dermal fillers or skin rejuvenation procedures. If you're also concerned about volume loss, skin texture, or pigmentation, we can create a comprehensive treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Dysport Pre & Post Care Instructions

The following are important pre-treatment considerations for you to discuss with your provider. It is important for you to understand the pre-treatment instructions to help avoid unsatisfactory results and complications.

  • Patients who are using substances that can prolong bleeding may experience increased bruising or bleeding at injection sites. You should inform your provider before treatment if you are using Aspirin, Ibuprofen, Vitamin E, Fish Oil, Ginkgo, Green Tea, Garlic, Ginseng, St. John's Wort, or Alcohol. You are advised to avoid Aspirin and Aspirin containing products, NSAIDS (Ibuprofen, Motrin, Aleve, etc.) and the supplements/vitamins listed above for 7 days prior to your treatment. Avoid alcohol 48 hours prior to treatment. If you are prescribed any of these medications by your physician, you must consult with them prior to stopping any medication.
  • The safety of Botox/Dysport/Daxxify for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding has not been established.
  • The safety of Botox/Dysport/Daxxify in patients with a history of excessive scarring (e.g., hypertrophic scarring and keloid formations) and pigmentation disorders has not been studied.

Post Treatment Care:

To minimize your chances of a potential complication (such as drooping of the eyelid (ptosis), it is highly recommended that:

  • You do not lie down or bend over for at least 4 hours after treatment
  • You do not massage or put pressure on the injected sites for 3 days post treatment. This includes wearing a hat.
  • You do not take Aspirin, Advil, Aleve, or Ibuprofen for 24 hours - it will increase your chances of bruising (take Tylenol if you experience a mild headache, which occasionally happens).
  • You exercise your facial muscles by making frowning and/or raised brow expressions often for several hours after treatment.
  • You keep the treatment area clean and free from makeup for 24 hours.
  • To wait 2 weeks post-treatment before receiving any facial treatment that may put pressure on the treatment area.
