Dysport® Injections
Dysport® is a fast-acting neuromodulator alternative to Botox®, known for its ability to spread smoothly across larger areas like the forehead, a great option for softer, natural-looking results. Administered personally by Dr. Erin Gold, MD, in the comfort of your home.
Why Patients Choose Dysport®
- Often shows results faster than other neuromodulators
- Ideal for larger treatment areas like the forehead
- Little to no downtime
- Performed personally by a board-certified physician
How Is Dysport® Different?
Both are neuromodulators that relax expression lines. Dysport® tends to spread slightly more, making it a popular choice for larger, more diffuse areas like the forehead, and often shows visible results a bit faster than Botox®. Dr. Gold will help determine which product best suits your goals during your consultation.
The Science Behind Dysport®
Like Botox®, Dysport® is a botulinum toxin type A formulation that temporarily blocks nerve signals to targeted muscles. Its molecular structure allows it to diffuse slightly more broadly, which many practitioners favor for larger, flatter areas like the forehead, often with visible results a few days sooner than other neuromodulators.
Are You a Good Candidate?
- You have forehead lines or frown lines across a broader area of the face
- You've tried Botox® before and are curious how a different neuromodulator feels for you
- You're an adult in generally good health, without an active skin infection at the injection site
- You're not pregnant, breastfeeding, or currently on certain medications that can interact with neuromodulators
Caring for Your Results
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for 24 hours
- Stay upright and avoid lying down for 4 hours after treatment
- Skip strenuous exercise and excessive heat for the rest of the day
- Results often begin appearing within 2 to 5 days, continuing to develop over the following week
