BOTOX® & DYSPORT®

How Can Botox® & Dysport® Help with Fine Lines & Wrinkles?

As we age, wrinkles and lines become more apparent – and they become harder to conceal. Youthful skin has sufficient volume and thickness to withstand folding and creasing caused by underlying facial muscles. 

With age, however, our skin begins to thin and lose its natural volume, becoming less resilient and more affected by the actions of our muscles. 

Botox and Dysport are all neuromodulators which temporarily immobilize muscle activity. This prevents the injected muscle from contracting and from causing pesky lines and wrinkles.

Where Can Botox® & Dysport® Be Applied?

Fortunately, Botox and Dysport injections can prevent and treat frown lines, forehead wrinkles, crow’s feet and other creases for a more relaxed appearance in minutes!

Can Dysport® Be Used Around the Mouth?

Both Dysport and Botox can be used around the corners of the mouth, along the lipstick lines, and to balance out any unwanted bulkiness on the side of the jaw.

What to Do After Getting Dysport®?

 After receiving Dysport injections, follow these post-treatment care tips:

• Avoid touching the treated area for at least 12 hours to prevent spreading the product.
• Remain upright for 4 hours to ensure the product stays in the intended area.
• Refrain from strenuous exercise for 24 hours to minimize the risk of product migration.
• Minimize sun exposure and use sunscreen to protect the skin.
• Attend follow-up appointments as scheduled for assessment and guidance. 

How Long After Dysport® Can I Wear Makeup? 

After receiving a Dysport treatment, it's generally recommended to wait at least 4 to 6 hours before applying makeup. This allows the injected Dysport to properly settle into the targeted muscles and reduces the risk of inadvertently affecting the treatment area. It's important not to massage or manipulate the treated area during this time to ensure the best results. 

Additionally, you should avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and other activities that could cause sweating or increased blood flow to the face for the first day after the treatment. While makeup can be applied after the initial waiting period, it's advisable to use gentle techniques and avoid excessive pressure on the treated area. Always follow the post-treatment instructions provided for optimal outcomes.   

Can I Wash My Face After Dysport?

After receiving Dysport injections, it is generally recommended to avoid touching or manipulating the treated area for the suggested number of hours. This includes washing or rubbing the face, as well as any vigorous activities that may increase blood flow to the face. Following these guidelines helps ensure that the product settles properly into the targeted muscles, optimizing the results. However, if you have specific concerns or questions, it's advisable to consult with our Valencia Dysport professionals. 

How Long Before You Can See Results?

Results can be seen within 7 days of treatment and many patients report 5–6 months of success! Plus, injections performed by an experienced professional are virtually pain-free! Patients can even return to work within 15 minutes of receiving the injections.

Do's and Don'ts to Follow After Getting Botox Injections

What to Do After Botox Injections 

1. Follow the instructions given by our team: Your injector will give you specific instructions to follow after your Botox injections. Make sure you understand and follow these instructions carefully to ensure the best results and minimize any potential complications.
2. Apply ice to the injection site: Applying ice to the injection site can help reduce swelling and bruising.
3. Move your facial muscles: Make sure to move your facial muscles after your Botox injections. This will help the Botox spread evenly throughout the muscles and give you a more natural-looking result.
4. Wait at least 24 hours before exercising: Avoid exercising or any other strenuous activity for at least 24 hours after your injections. This will help prevent the Botox from spreading to other areas and potentially causing complications.

What Not To Do After Botox Injections

1. Touch or rub the injection site: Avoid touching or rubbing the injection site for at least 24 hours after your injections. This can cause the Botox to spread to other areas and potentially cause complications.
2. Lie down or bend over: Avoid lying down or bending over for at least 4 hours after your injections. This can cause the Botox to spread to other areas and potentially cause complications.
3. Drink alcohol: Avoid drinking alcohol for at least 24 hours after your injections. Alcohol can increase your risk of bruising and may also affect the way the Botox works.
4. Take blood-thinning medications: Avoid taking blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, for at least 24 hours after your injections. These medications can increase your risk of bruising and may also affect the way the Botox works.
