Dysport®

While a Dysport^® treatment at Skin & Laser Center of NJ is a simple and safe procedure, there are steps you can take before your appointment to help achieve the best possible aesthetic outcome. When it comes to timing, if you’re obtaining Dysport^® in anticipation of a special event, it’s best to schedule your procedure two to three weeks prior to the occasion, as the results will be in full effect at that point.

Prior to your Dysport^® treatment, there are a few steps you can take to maximize your results. One week before your appointment, it’s beneficial to abstain from cigarettes and alcohol, both of which can impede your skin’s ability to heal. Several days before your appointment, you should avoid non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medications like aspirin—if it is medically safe for you to do so. You should arrive at your appointment with a clean, cosmetic-free face, or you can cleanse it at our office.

A Dysport^® injection session lasts about 10 minutes, though the actual injection process only takes a few seconds. Your injector will examine your face, identify the ideal injection sites, and carefully administer your Dysport^® injections. After that, you will be able to return to your normal routine as soon as you’d like—though it is beneficial to avoid strenuous activity for at least four hours after your appointment. You may experience some redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site, but these effects should be mild and subside within a few days. It’s important to keep your head upright for four hours right after your treatment. It is rare that a headache develops, but if one does, it should resolve in a few days.

You may start to see the results of your Dysport^® treatment within 24 hours, though the full impact may take two weeks to materialize. Results vary from patient to patient, but the beneficial effects should last for three to four months, on average.
