Dysport in Portland

The effects of Dysport are typically noticeable within 2 to 3 days after treatment, with peak results appearing around two weeks.

Dysport injections are a quick and easy process. During the injections, you may feel a slight poke or pinch, but most of our patients report pain to be minimal to none at all. We can apply a topical numbing cream to ease discomfort if needles make you uneasy.

Common side effects include nose and throat irritation, headache, injection site pain, injection site skin reaction, upper respiratory tract infection, eyelid swelling, eyelid drooping, sinus inflammation, and nausea.

Although great for smoothing out surface-level wrinkles and preventing new ones, Dysport and BOTOX aren't a solution for deep wrinkles such as the marionette lines ('smile lines'). That's what fillers like Juvederm, Restylane, and Sculptra are designed for.

Unlike dermal fillers, toxins like Dysport and BOTOX aren't a volume-restoring treatment. Injecting it into the under eyes wouldn't fill in lost volume or improve dark circles, and using it in the undereye area can also lead to risks such as your lower eyelids sagging or issues with blinking.

The only difference is that the wrinkles associated with these expressions are far less noticeable. The 'frozen' look happens when too much product is injected, which doesn’t happen when you choose experienced aesthetic injectors like ours at MD Beauty Lab.

On average, the effects of Dysport treatment last for about three to four months. We recommend patients visit our office for regular maintenance treatments to keep their skin smooth. Though maintenance treatments are required to maintain the best results, it’s not uncommon to notice that you need it less often as your muscles become accustomed to being in a more relaxed state.
