Dysport

Dysport is a neuromodulator that minimizes fine lines and wrinkles.

How does Dysport work?

Dysport is comprised of a naturally occurring, purified protein. Dysport safely and temporarily blocks muscle activity. By temporarily stopping a muscle from contracting, it no longer is creating dynamic lines and wrinkles. A common question we get is “what’s the difference between Botox and Dysport”? To put it simply, Dysport has a faster onset and larger field of action. On the other hand, Botox is more localized to the injection site. A consultation will determine which neuromodulator is best for your personal anatomy and goals. Expert knowledge of facial anatomy is the key to outstanding results. Precise dose and placement determine the success of the treatment. Dr. Cox has performed multiple clinical trials for Dysport right here in Chapel Hill and travels frequently teaching other physicians on best injection practices and how to avoid complications.

Frequently Asked questions

Is Dysport safe?

The FDA has approved Dysport to safely treat wrinkles. Like any surgical or non-surgical procedure, there are risks. As an international teacher and trainer of other physicians in facial anatomy and injection technique, Dr. Cox stresses the importance of finding an experienced physician who understands the finer points of injectable treatment. Dr. Cox performed clinical trials for Dysport as well as new neuromodulators not yet on the market and is internationally recognized for her skills as an injector.

Dysport downtime

Dysport treatments are well tolerated. The treatment is comprised of a series of precise injections with a very small needle. This process only takes a few minutes. Patients often compare the feeling to having their eyebrows plucked. There is no downtime associated with Dysport. Once the injections are complete, there is typically mild swelling and redness around the pin-prick injection sites. This dissipates within a few minutes.

Dysport RESULTS

You will begin to see results from Dysport within three to four days. Full results will appear two weeks after treatment. Dysport typically last three to four months. One Dysport treatment will reduce or eliminate dynamic wrinkles in the treatment area. Wrinkles that are etched in (remain visible at rest) will need multiple sessions for optimal results. In the case of etched lines, additional treatment modalities may be needed.

Wouldn’t want to go anywhere else for my aging skin matters

I have been going to Dr Cox for many years for filler, neuromodulator, and fraxel. She is like no other and is truly expert in cosmetic dermatology and on top of (and responsible for) the latest clinical research in her field. Her staff is kind, helpful, and responsive when I call the office with questions, they actually answer their phones and respond within the day if they do not have an immediate answer for me! I should mention I drive an hour to get there, but it is worth it! Wouldn’t want to go anywhere else for my aging skin matters. – K.M.
