Dysport: Overview

What is Dysport? 

Dysport in New Orleans is a fast, effective way to smooth dynamic wrinkles and achieve a refreshed, youthful look. This muscle relaxant, similar to Botox, reduces lines from repetitive facial movements while maintaining natural expression, making it ideal for those who want a younger appearance without frozen features.

Results begin in 3–5 days, with full effects in 7–10 days, and last 4–6 months. Faces appear brighter, more open, and friendlier, with many wrinkles dramatically reduced. Dysport’s quick, repeatable treatments are especially recommended for active patients who may metabolize Botox quickly.

What to Expect During a Dysport Treatment 

A Dysport session takes less than ten minutes. Dr. Miller identifies the target areas and injects the Dysport directly into them. Unlike Botox, there is no burning sensation associated with Dysport. Patients find the procedure to be pleasant and comfortable. When looking for Dysport treatments, it is essential to seek an experienced practitioner who specializes in cosmetic procedures for the face. Seasoned plastic surgeons like Dr. Miller have the expertise and deep knowledge of facial anatomy required to elicit natural-looking results. Many who pursue cheaper alternatives risk ending up with a 'frozen' or 'done' look.

Dysport post-treatment experience

Dysport is non-invasive and requires no downtime. Though there may be slight discomfort when the needle is inserted, patients will not feel a burning sensation or anything else during the process. There may be some swelling and redness at the injection sites, but this should subside fairly quickly.

Patients can return to work and normal activity right after a session, but they should avoid hot tubs, hot showers, saunas, tanning beds, or any other activity that comes with excessive heat. It is also recommended to avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours after the procedure.
