Dysport®

Conveniently located to serve the areas of Los Gatos, Danville and San Jose

Dysport (Dysport®) is a neuromodulator injectable treatment that is used to treat fine lines and wrinkles by temporarily relaxing facial muscles. (1)

Expressions such as frowning, squinting, and raising your brows create repetitive muscle movements that leave lasting creases in the skin. While these lines are a natural part of aging, they can make you look tired or stressed. Dysport offers a non-surgical way to refresh your look by softening these dynamic wrinkles while still allowing for normal expression.

At Swan Medical, our skilled team offers Dysport injections at our convenient locations in Danville and Los Gatos. Patients trust our injectors to deliver safe care and natural-looking results.

About Dysport

(2) By reducing repetitive muscle activity, Dysport smooths skin and softens visible creases. The treatment is quick, precise, and effective for patients seeking subtle yet impactful improvements. Many patients notice results within just two to four days, and its unique diffusion allows for effective treatment of areas like the forehead.

Preparation

Dysport requires very little preparation, but following a few simple steps can help maximize your results. Patients receiving Dysport are usually advised to:

  • Avoid alcohol for 24 to 48 hours before treatment
  • Stop taking blood-thinning medications or supplements before the procedure
  • Arrive with clean skin free of makeup or lotions
  • Inform their injector of any medications, recent infections, or past procedures

Procedure

When you arrive at Swan Medical, you will be welcomed into a comfortable treatment space. Your injection specialist will review your treatment plan, cleanse your skin, and mark the injection sites. If needed, they can apply a numbing cream to enhance comfort. Using an ultrafine needle, they will administer small amounts of Dysport into the targeted muscles. The procedure usually takes less than 15 minutes and feels like a quick pinch. You can expect to leave shortly afterward and resume most of your normal daily activities with very few restrictions.

Recovery

While there is essentially no downtime associated with Dysport, patients may experience mild redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection sites, which usually subsides within a few hours. Occasional bruising may occur, but it is temporary and minor. To encourage the best results, your injector may advise you to avoid rubbing the treated areas for 24 hours, remain upright for at least four hours after treatment, and skip intense exercise, alcohol, or saunas for the rest of the day.

Results

You will likely begin noticing improvements in your wrinkles within two to four days after your Dysport appointment, with final results becoming visible after about two weeks. Your skin will look smoother, and your features will appear more relaxed while still natural and expressive.

Dysport results usually last three to four months and are associated with high patient satisfaction rates. (3) Regular maintenance treatments will help preserve your results, and repeated treatments may prevent new wrinkles from forming and existing ones from worsening.

Corresponding and Combination Procedures

Some patients prefer Dysport as a standalone treatment, while others combine it with complementary procedures for enhanced rejuvenation. At Swan Medical, patients often pair Dysport with:

Dermal Fillers

Unlike neuromodulators, dermal fillers add volume underneath the skin. By administering the fillers to targeted areas, patients can restore lost volume in areas such as the cheeks, lips, temples, or undereyes. Patients can also enhance areas that could benefit from improved definition. When paired with a neuromodulator like Dysport, patients can achieve more comprehensive rejuvenation by addressing both volume enhancement and wrinkle reduction.

Laser Skin Rejuvenation

Swan Medical offers laser skin treatments with the ProFractional laser, which is based on Sciton’s venerated Joule system of laser skin resurfacing. This treatment can improve skin tone, texture, and pigmentation. Laser skin rejuvenation can complement Dysport’s muscle-relaxing effects by addressing the surface of the skin in addition to the wrinkle-causing muscles below.

Microneedling

Microneedling treatments stimulate collagen production, helping to improve skin quality, elasticity, and texture. Microneedling is a popular additional procedure for patients receiving Dysport to rejuvenate the skin and further diminish visible signs of aging.

Cost of Dysport in Danville, Los Gatos, and Walnut Creek

The cost of Dysport depends on how many units are needed and which areas are treated. During your consultation, your injection specialist will calculate the dosage required for your goals and provide a personalized estimate. Swan Medical is committed to transparent pricing and making sure you are fully informed about every detail associated with your treatment. Financing options are also available, making treatment accessible for patients who prefer to pay in installments. These options can be discussed during your consultation.
