At Privé Plastic Surgery in Boca Raton, FL, we understand that achieving a youthful and refreshed appearance is a common goal for many of our clients. Under the expert care of Dr. Liza Wu, you can explore the benefits of Dysport—a leading non-surgical treatment for fine lines and wrinkles.
What is Dysport?
Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that temporarily improves the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, also known as glabellar lines. It is made from a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, which works by relaxing specific facial muscles to smooth out wrinkles and lines. Dysport is a popular choice for those seeking a non-invasive solution to achieve a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
How Dysport Works
Dysport works by targeting the underlying muscle activity that causes frown lines. When injected into the facial muscles, Dysport blocks the nerve signals responsible for muscle contractions. This relaxation of the muscles reduces the appearance of lines and wrinkles, resulting in a smoother and more youthful look. The effects of Dysport typically last three to four months, with many patients choosing to schedule regular treatments to maintain their results.
Aesthetic Concerns Addressed by Dysport
Dysport is highly effective in treating various aesthetic concerns, particularly those caused by repetitive facial movements. Here are some of the key issues that Dysport can address:
- Frown Lines. Frown lines, or glabellar lines, are the vertical wrinkles that form between the eyebrows. These lines often become more pronounced with age and can give a stern or tired appearance. Dysport effectively softens these lines, creating a more relaxed and approachable look.
- Crow’s Feet. Crow’s feet are the fine lines that appear at the outer corners of the eyes. These lines are often caused by squinting and smiling. Dysport can be used to smooth out crow’s feet, enhancing the overall appearance of the eyes and giving you a more youthful look.
- Forehead Lines. Horizontal forehead lines develop due to repetitive raising of the eyebrows. Dysport can be injected into the forehead muscles to reduce the appearance of these lines, resulting in a smoother and more youthful forehead.
- Bunny Lines. Bunny lines are the wrinkles that form on the bridge of the nose when you scrunch it. Dysport can help relax these muscles, reducing the appearance of bunny lines and creating a smoother nasal bridge.
- Lip Lines and Marionette Lines. Dysport can also be used to address lines around the mouth, such as vertical lip lines (often caused by pursing the lips) and marionette lines (lines that run from the corners of the mouth to the chin). These treatments can enhance the overall symmetry and youthfulness of the lower face.
The Treatment Process
The Dysport treatment process at Privé Plastic Surgery is straightforward and efficient. Here’s what you can expect during your visit:
1. Consultation. Your journey begins with a consultation with Dr. Liza Wu. During this session, you will discuss your aesthetic goals, medical history, and any concerns you may have. Dr. Wu will evaluate your facial anatomy and determine if Dysport is the right treatment for you. She will also create a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs.
2. Preparation. On the day of your treatment, Dr. Wu will cleanse the treatment area to ensure it is free of makeup, oil, and debris. While Dysport injections are relatively painless, a topical numbing cream or ice pack may be applied to enhance your comfort during the procedure.
3. Injection. Dr. Wu will use a fine needle to inject Dysport into the targeted muscles. The number of injections and the precise placement will depend on your specific treatment plan. The entire injection process typically takes about 10 to 20 minutes.
4. Post-Treatment. After the injections, you can resume most of your normal activities immediately. However, Dr. Wu may provide specific aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results and minimize any potential side effects.
Aftercare Advice
Proper aftercare is essential to maximize the benefits of your Dysport treatment and ensure a smooth recovery. Here are some tips to follow after your injections:
1. Avoid Touching the Treated Area. For at least four hours after your treatment, avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging the treated areas. This helps prevent the spread of Dysport to unintended muscles, ensuring that the results remain localized.
2. Stay Upright. Refrain from lying down or bending over for about four hours post-treatment. Staying upright helps the Dysport settle into the targeted muscles effectively.
3. Avoid Strenuous Activities. For the first 24 hours after your treatment, avoid strenuous exercise or activities that cause excessive sweating. This helps minimize the risk of bruising and ensures optimal results.
4. Skip Alcohol and Blood Thinners. To reduce the risk of bruising, avoid consuming alcohol and taking blood-thinning medications (such as aspirin or ibuprofen) for 24 to 48 hours before and after your treatment. If you are taking prescribed blood thinners, consult with Dr. Wu before your treatment.
5. Follow Up. Attend any follow-up appointments as recommended by Dr. Wu. These visits allow her to assess your results and make any necessary adjustments to ensure you achieve the best possible outcome.
