01
Best Candidates
The best candidates for Dysport are healthy men and women who want to soften moderate to severe frown lines, forehead lines, or crow's feet without surgery. It is an especially good option for patients who want to see results quickly before an upcoming event, since Dysport often takes effect a day or two sooner than other neuromodulators. Dysport is not recommended for patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or who have a neuromuscular disorder such as myasthenia gravis or ALS. During your consultation, Dr. Trott will review your medical history, examine your facial anatomy, and determine whether Dysport, BOTOX, DAXXIFY, or another treatment best fits your goals.
02
What to Expect
A Dysport treatment is quick and comfortable, usually taking about 15 to 20 minutes. Dr. Trott uses a very fine needle to place tiny amounts of the product into the specific muscles responsible for the lines being treated. Most patients describe the sensation as a series of small pinches, and no anesthesia is required, though a topical numbing cream is available. There is little to no downtime, and most patients return to their normal activities right away. You will be asked to avoid rubbing the treated areas, strenuous exercise, and lying flat for a few hours after treatment. Softening typically begins within two to three days, with full results visible in about one week.
03
Other Considerations
Dysport results are measured in months, so plan your treatment ahead of important events: schedule at least one to two weeks beforehand so the results are fully settled. Mild, temporary side effects can include small bumps at the injection sites, headache, or slight bruising, which usually resolve within a few days. Because Dysport can spread a little more than other neuromodulators, precise placement matters: Dr. Trott treats every neuromodulator patient personally and tailors each dosing plan to your individual muscle strength and facial anatomy. If you are weighing Dysport against BOTOX or DAXXIFY, Dr. Trott can help you compare onset, duration, and cost based on your lifestyle and goals.
04
Smooth, Softer Lines
Dysport was developed for patients who want fast, natural-looking smoothing of dynamic wrinkles. In clinical studies, the majority of patients saw meaningful improvement in their frown lines within one week, with results lasting three to four months or longer. Fewer visible lines, a quick appointment, and the same natural, rested look Dr. Trott is known for. Contact Suzanne A. Trott, M.D., F.A.C.S. in Beverly Hills, CA to schedule your consultation and find out whether Dysport is the right wrinkle relaxer for you.
