Are you tired of fine lines and wrinkles stealing your confidence? Are you looking for a non-surgical solution to achieve a more youthful appearance? Look no further than Dysport, the secret weapon in the fight against aging.
At Columbia Laser Skin Center, we understand the desire to look and feel your best. That’s why we’re excited to offer Dysport, a revolutionary treatment that can help you turn back the hands of time. Here we’ll dive into the details of Dysport, its benefits, and why it’s become a go-to option for those seeking natural-looking results.
Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, particularly in the forehead and around the eyes. It contains botulinum toxin type A, which temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for creating those unwanted lines, giving your skin a smoother and more youthful look.
Dysport uses botulinum toxin type A, a purified protein that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles. These muscles are responsible for creating expression lines such as frown lines, forehead creases, and crow’s feet. By interrupting the nerve signals that cause repetitive movement, Dysport softens the appearance of wrinkles without altering your natural facial expressions. The result is a refreshed look that still feels authentically you.
When it comes to your appearance, you deserve the best care possible. Our clinic is staffed by a team of highly skilled and experienced medical professionals who specialize in cosmetic treatments. We take the time to understand your unique needs and goals, tailoring each Dysport treatment to ensure optimal results.
During your consultation, our experts will evaluate your facial structure, discuss your desired outcome, and create a personalized treatment plan just for you. We believe in a holistic approach to beauty, combining artistry and science to unlock your full potential.
At our clinic, your safety and well-being are our top priorities. We adhere to strict safety protocols and maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and hygiene. Our medical professionals are trained in the latest injection techniques, ensuring a comfortable and safe experience throughout your Dysport treatment.
When administered by an experienced, licensed professional, Dysport has an excellent safety record. However, as with any injectable treatment, some temporary side effects are possible. The most common include mild redness, swelling, tenderness, or small pinpoint bruises at the injection site. These effects are typically short-lived, resolving within a few hours to a couple of days. Some patients may also experience a temporary headache or slight tightness in the treated area.
More uncommon effects — such as eyelid drooping, uneven results, or mild flu-like symptoms — are rare and often related to product migration or post-treatment activity. Choosing a skilled injector greatly reduces these risks. During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history, explain all potential side effects, and provide clear aftercare instructions to ensure both a safe procedure and beautiful, balanced results.
For the best outcome and minimal side effects, we recommend a few simple preparation steps. Avoid alcohol, aspirin, ibuprofen, and other blood-thinning medications for 24–48 hours before your visit, unless prescribed by your physician. You should also skip supplements like fish oil, vitamin E, ginkgo biloba, and garlic tablets, which can increase bruising risk.
If you’re prone to cold sores and are receiving treatment around the mouth, let us know in advance. We may suggest a preventative antiviral medication. Arriving with a clean face free of makeup, sunscreen, or lotion will help ensure a smooth treatment process.
Your Dysport appointment is quick, comfortable, and precise. After we cleanse your skin and mark the injection points, our skilled injector will use an ultra-fine needle to deliver Dysport into specific facial muscles.
The number of injections depends on the treatment area and your goals, but most sessions take only 15 to 30 minutes. You might feel a brief pinching or pressure sensation, but discomfort is minimal. For those who are sensitive, we offer numbing cream or ice packs to enhance comfort.
You can resume most of your daily activities immediately after treatment, making Dysport a convenient “lunchtime” procedure. However, we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, lying flat, wearing tight hats or headbands, and massaging the treated areas for at least four hours to prevent the product from migrating.
Some patients notice tiny red bumps, mild swelling, or pinpoint bruising at the injection sites. These usually resolve within a few hours to a day. Makeup can typically be applied after 30 minutes if needed. Over the next few days, you’ll start to see your results emerge, with full effects visible in about two weeks.
To get the most from your Dysport treatment, avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas, lying flat, or engaging in strenuous exercise for at least four hours. Skip alcohol and excessive heat exposure (like saunas) for the rest of the day to minimize swelling or bruising. Protect your skin with daily sunscreen, maintain a consistent skincare routine, and schedule regular maintenance appointments to help extend and optimize your smooth, refreshed results.
Dysport is an excellent option for adults seeking to smooth moderate to severe expression lines, especially those caused by repeated facial movements such as frowning, squinting, or raising the eyebrows. It can be equally effective for individuals looking to soften early signs of aging before lines become deeply set, as well as for those with more visible wrinkles who want a refreshed look without surgery.
You may be a good candidate if you are in overall good health, maintain healthy skin, and have realistic expectations about what Dysport can achieve. This treatment is well-suited for people who want noticeable yet natural results that allow them to keep their facial expressiveness intact. Dysport is not recommended for those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, have certain neurological or muscular disorders, or are allergic to botulinum toxin products. During your consultation, we’ll review your medical history and aesthetic goals to ensure Dysport is both safe and appropriate for you.
Dysport cost is different for each patient. There are several factors that determine the cost of your Dysport treatment – dosage and number of areas treated. Like a dose of any prescription medication, the dose of Dysport can vary from person to person.
During your consultation, our expert RN injectors will discuss with you your concerns and your goals. After a complete assessment, they will create a customized treatment plan to help you reach your aesthetic goals. Dysport treatments start at $300. For more ways to save on your Dysport treatment, check out the Aspire program through Galderma.
For most people, Dysport will last 3-4 months.
Everybody’s experience is different, and sometimes every treatment can be different. On average you will notice the effects of Dysport 72 hours after your treatment. However, it may take up to 2 weeks to see the full effect of your treatment.
Dysport treatments are very comfortable. Most people say it feels like a bug bite. We want you to have the best experience with us. To ensure that your Dysport treatment is a great experience, we offer prescription numbing cream, ice packs, and “The World’s Tiniest” needle. Just be sure to let us know ahead of time if you would like the numbing cream with your treatment.
Dysport has been safely used in the medical community for over 30 years; and there is ample scientific data supporting that safety. The doses used for Dysport Cosmetic are also much lower than typical therapeutic Dysport.
