About Dysport
Our Elevate Medical Spa and Cosmetic Surgery team, led by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Thornwell Parker in Dallas, TX, offers women and men numerous nonsurgical procedures to rejuvenate the skin. Dysport is an injectable wrinkle relaxer that works similar to BOTOX to reduce and soften dynamic lines and wrinkles on the face. Dynamic wrinkles are formed by recurrent facial movements and expressions (like frowning, smiling, and laughing) that over time make the facial muscles tight. This causes the overlying skin to have a furrowed line that is visible, even when your face is relaxed. Dysport temporarily softens the muscle so the dynamic wrinkle is smoother but with natural-looking results that don't give you a "frozen" face. Learn more about Dysport wrinkle relaxer treatments at Elevate Medical Spa to help you look refreshed.
Ideal Candidates
Dysport is ideal if you are looking for a nonsurgical procedure to address moderate to severe vertical frown (glabellar) lines between the eyebrows. Since dynamic wrinkles and lines are caused by frequent use, they can appear at any age and make you look sad, tired, or mad. When appropriately administered, Dysport is a fast, effective treatment that corrects dynamic wrinkles without giving you a "frozen" face. Since Dysport spreads to treat a cluster of wrinkles, it is also ideal for Crow's feet, the fine lines in the outer corners of the eyes. Most patients see visible improvement in their dynamic wrinkles a few days after their injections that typically last up to four months.

Procedure Technique
Dysport injections are performed in one of our procedure rooms after your consultation, taking about 15 – 30 minutes. A numbing cream or local anesthetic is usually not needed since the injections are made with a fine-gauge needle that causes very little discomfort, but it can be requested. The skin will be thoroughly cleansed and five carefully placed Dysport injections will be placed along the brow, followed by a cold compress applied to the forehead to limit swelling and bruising. After your procedure, you may resume daily tasks, but you should try to avoid energetic activity for at least a day.
What to Expect
After a Dysport treatment, you may notice mild swelling and redness near the injection sites, and on occasion, you may experience some bruising. You should sleep upright for the first night and continue to use a cold compress as needed. Results are often seen within a few days as the look of your lines is decreased for a smoother, softer appearance. These results typically last for about 3 – 4 months, and touch-up treatments can be scheduled to maintain your results.
