Dysport® in Houston, TX

Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) is a non-surgical procedure that improves moderate to severe lines of the forehead. Dysport, like BOTOX, relaxes the muscles of the face to soften the contractions used to make facial expressions, which reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. The most common areas Dysport is injected are the frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), the horizontal forehead lines, and crow’s feet. Other areas may be treated and can be discussed with board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Rafi Bidros, during your visit to our Houston office. Most patients will see results within a few days of their treatment that last for several months.

As we age, fine lines make us appear older than we are. Dysport treatments at MyBodyMD may help Houston, TX individuals rejuvenate their looks and self-esteem via several amazing advantages, some of which include:

• Improving wrinkles and fine lines in the skin, notably including the frown ("11") lines
• Appointments that are short and productive, with little to no expected recovery time after your treatment
• Natural-looking, durable improvements
• Building up your self-esteem and helping you to look like your best self again

Dysport is a good choice if you are looking for a nonsurgical option to correct moderate to severe vertical frown (glabellar) lines between the eyebrows. Since dynamic wrinkles and lines are created by repetitive use, they may develop at any age and make you appear sad, mad, or tired. Dysport is a fast, effective treatment that smoothes dynamic wrinkles without giving you a "frozen" face. Since Dysport spreads to treat a group of wrinkles, it's also great for Crow's feet, the fine lines in the outer corners of the eyes. Many patients at MyBodyMD notice visible improvement in their dynamic wrinkles a few days following their procedure that, on average, remain for to four months.

Dr. Bidros will inject a few drops of Dysport with a small needle into the muscles of your face at five points to treat your dynamic wrinkles. When Dysport is injected into your muscle, it blocks the nerve signals to the muscle, and as a result, your muscle contraction is reduced. This reduction in muscle activity smooths out the wrinkles and fine lines, giving your skin a more relaxed and youthful appearance. The procedure is quick, and you can usually return to your normal activities immediately after the treatment, with full effects visible within a few days.

Patients will be able to return to their normal routine immediately after their treatment with no need for a recovery period. Most patients see visible results 2-3 days after their treatment and their results last up to 4 months.

When Dysport is injected there is a minor sting for a few seconds, but the discomfort fades. You may experience redness at the injection site, but this will fade as well. We advise that you sleep propped up the night of your appointment and still use a cool compress as needed. Improvements are commonly seen in 1 – 3 days as the appearance of your lines is diminished for a smoother, rejuvenated aesthetic. The outcomes generally remain visible for around 3 – 4 months, and additional treatments can be performed at MyBodyMD in Houston, TX to maintain your results.

The effects of Dysport usually last four months, at which time another treatment can be performed. Dr. Bidros will help patients determine when to schedule their next treatment to maintain their results.

Dysport can also be used to treat conditions and disorders of the muscles, including cervical dystonia (CD), muscle stiffness, and muscle spasms.

Dysport is primarily used to treat glabellar lines between the eyebrows. However, it can also address other facial wrinkles, such as forehead lines and Crow's feet, depending on individual needs and our team's recommendations.

A typical Dysport injection session lasts about 10 – 20 minutes, making it convenient for those with busy schedules.

Some patients notice improvements within a few days, with full effects visible around two weeks post-treatment. The results generally last between 3 – 4 months, after which maintenance treatments are recommended to sustain the desired appearance.

If you are looking for a nonsurgical option to refresh your appearance by smoothing the frown lines between your brows, Dysport injectable wrinkle relaxer is a great choice.
