Dysport is a purified form of botulinum toxin designed to temporarily relax facial muscles. When injected in strategic areas, it smooths out wrinkles and fine lines. Dysport works similarly to Botox but has a slightly different protein formula. A key difference between the two is that Dysport has a thinner consistency. This makes it a good choice for treating lines in larger areas, such as horizontal forehead creases. During your consultation for Dysport Duluth wrinkle reduction specialists at Kontour Med Spa will discuss your unique needs and determine if Dysport is the right option for you.
Your Dysport appointment begins with a consultation. Your Kontour aesthetic injector will learn about your goals and help you identify target areas for treatment. Our focus is always on effective treatments that deliver natural-looking facial rejuvenation.
The Dysport procedure is quick and easy. If desired, your injector can apply a topical anesthetic to numb the treatment area. Then, using a tiny needle, they will inject Dysport into precise locations on your face to target detailed muscle groups. The entire procedure typically takes less than 30 minutes with minimal to no downtime.
Dysport is primarily used to reduce the appearance of frown lines - those vertical lines between your eyebrows that can make you look angry or worried. It can also be used to soften other facial lines, such as crow's feet around the eyes and horizontal forehead lines. Other potential treatment areas include bunny lines on the nose, vertical neck bands, and the appearance of a "gummy" smile, also referred to as excessive gingival display.
