What Are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators are a class of cosmetic and medical treatments designed to temporarily improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, and other facial expressions caused by muscle movements. They work by blocking nerve signals to muscles, reducing activity and creating a smoother, more youthful appearance.
What Is Dysport?
Dysport is a popular neuromodulator used to treat both aesthetic and medical conditions. It contains botulinum toxin type A, which works by relaxing muscles to diminish the appearance of wrinkles.
Key Benefits of Dysport
-
Fast-acting results, typically visible within 2-3 days
-
Natural-looking, smooth results
-
Suitable for treating forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines
-
Often used for medical conditions like neck spasms or excessive sweating
How Does Dysport Work?
Dysport works by blocking the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, preventing nerve impulses from reaching muscles. This results in temporary muscle paralysis, softening wrinkles and lines caused by muscle movements.
Duration of Results
The effects of Dysport typically last 3 to 4 months, after which repeat treatments are needed to maintain results.
Procedure Overview
-

-
Injection: The provider administers small doses of Dysport into targeted muscles.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate?

Adults looking to reduce facial wrinkles

Those seeking a non-surgical solution for aging signs

Why Choose Dysport?
Many patients prefer Dysport for its quick onset and natural-looking results. It is also often preferred for its slightly different formulation, which some find provides a more natural expression post-treatment.
Is Dysport painful?
The injections are minimally invasive and usually well-tolerated. Some patients may experience slight discomfort.
Therapeutic Botox
To ensure your therapeutic Botox treatment is covered by your insurance company, a formal diagnosis from your family doctor is required for conditions such as migraines, TMJ disorders, or hyperhidrosis. Once you provide this diagnosis, I can administer the injections using my product and supply you with the necessary documentation to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. Please bring your diagnosis details to your consultation to streamline the process.

If you don’t have a diagnosis but would still like to receive this service, it can be provided as an out-of-pocket payment option. We’re happy to accommodate your needs either way.
