Smooth Fine Lines with Dysport at Salt Aesthetics in Bend, OR

  • Dysport

    Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved, effective, and safe injectable treatment that relaxes muscle activity. It effectively reduces or resolves the appearance of wrinkles and notably improves skin texture.

  • The Science Behind Dysport

    Dysport utilizes botulinum toxin type A. It works by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine at neuromuscular junctions, temporarily reducing muscle activity. Reduced muscle activity significantly improves facial lines and results in more youthful-looking skin.

  • Ideal Candidates for Dysport

    The ideal candidate for Dysport is an adult with mild to severe signs of aging. It can also be used for treating TMJ/jaw pain, and/or hyperhidrosis. It is a non-surgical solution with zero to minimal downtime. Our in-depth consultations consider each patient's medical history, allergies, medications/supplements, and specific skin concerns before creating an individualized treatment plan using shared decision-making. Safety and patient satisfaction are our highest priorities.

  • Dysport Treatment Process

    Pre- and post-treatment instructions are emailed to each patient before the visit, and patients are educated again during the visit to ensure understanding. A meticulous facial assessment is completed before an individual treatment plan is mutually agreed upon. Before starting the treatment, the cost is provided to the patient. The cost is based on the number of units required to treat areas of concern effectively. We calculate the number of units based on the specific muscles being targeted and an individual’s muscle strength. The provider marks and cleanses the areas of treatment before injecting.

    Our providers are experts in facial anatomy and talented injectors.

  • Post-Treatment Care and Scientific Insights

    Following Dysport injections, patients can resume most daily activities immediately. However, clinical studies suggest patients stay upright for the first four hours after treatment and avoid pressure to the face for the first 12 hours after injection to prevent diffusion of Dysport into adjacent muscles. Most patients report seeing improvements within 3-7 days post-treatment, with peak efficacy at 14 days. Results typically last 3-5 months. Regular follow-up treatments help maintain a smooth, youthful appearance.

How many days does it take for Dysport to work?

Dysport typically begins to take effect within 2 to 3 days after injection. Full results are generally visible within 7 to 14 days as the muscle relaxation progresses.

How can I make Dysport work faster?

To help Dysport work more effectively and potentially see results sooner:

  • Avoid strenuous exercise: Vigorous physical activity can increase blood flow and potentially cause the Dysport to migrate to unintended areas. It’s best to avoid any high-intensity workouts for at least 24 hours.

  • Stay upright: Refrain from lying flat or bending over excessively for about 4 hours post-treatment. This helps to prevent the Dysport from spreading into surrounding muscles.

  • Avoid rubbing or massaging: Avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the treated areas for at least 24 hours to prevent the Dysport from spreading and to minimize the risk of bruising.

  • Avoid alcohol and caffeine: Both alcohol and caffeine can dehydrate you and increase the risk of bruising. Avoid these for at least 24 hours before and after your treatment to help Dysport work more effectively.

How often should you get Dysport?

Dysport treatments are usually administered every 3 to 4 months. Regular treatments help maintain the results by consistently relaxing the targeted muscles.

What should you not do after Dysport?

After receiving Dysport, avoid:

  • Strenuous exercise: Vigorous physical activity can increase blood flow and potentially cause the Dysport to migrate to unintended areas. It’s best to avoid any high-intensity workouts for at least 24 hours.

  • Lying down or bending over excessively: Refrain from lying flat or bending over excessively for about 4 hours post-treatment. This helps to prevent the Dysport from spreading into surrounding muscles.

  • Rubbing or massaging: Avoid touching, rubbing, or applying pressure to the treated areas for the first 12 hours to prevent the Dysport from spreading and to minimize the risk of bruising.

  • Exposure to excessive heat: Stay away from saunas, hot tubs, tanning beds, and other sources of high heat for at least 24 hours as heat can increase the risk of swelling and bruising.

Which lasts longer, Botox or Dysport?

How can I prepare for my Dysport treatment?

To ensure the best outcome from your Dysport treatment, consider the following preparations:

  • Avoid Blood-Thinning Medications: Refrain from taking aspirin, ibuprofen, and other blood-thinning medications or supplements such as fish oil and vitamin E for at least a week before your appointment. This reduces the risk of bruising.

  • Stay Hydrated and Eat Lightly: Being well-hydrated and having a light meal before your treatment can help reduce the risk of feeling lightheaded during the procedure.

  • Inform Your Provider of Medical History: Disclose any medications, supplements, or medical conditions you have to your provider. This information is crucial to avoid potential interactions and complications.

  • Arrive with a Clean Face: Ensure your face is free of makeup, moisturizers, or any skincare products. This helps to reduce the risk of infection and ensures the treatment area is clean.

How do I get the best results from Dysport?

For optimal Dysport results: 

  • Follow all pre- and post-care instructions: Adhering to the guidelines provided by your practitioner ensures that your treatment is as effective as possible. These instructions are designed to minimize risks and enhance the longevity of your results.

  • Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy lifestyle:  Hydration helps keep your skin healthy and supports the overall effectiveness of Dysport. Additionally, a balanced diet and regular exercise contribute to better skin elasticity and longevity of the results.

  • Schedule regular follow-up treatments: Consistent treatments help maintain the desired effects by continuously relaxing the targeted muscles. Discuss with your practitioner to determine the ideal frequency for your follow-up appointments to ensure sustained results.
