Dysport in Philadelphia

Seeing fine lines and wrinkles develop on your face can be one of the most frustrating things about aging, and the frown lines that show up between the eyebrows are some of the most annoying. Fortunately, Dysport in Philadelphia provides a simple and effective option to reduce or eliminate your unsightly frown lines.

What Is Dysport?

Dysport is an injectable neuromodulator used to reduce the appearance of glabellar lines between the eyebrows. Like the more well-known Botox, Dysport in Philadelphia uses the active ingredient botulinum toxin type A. When this neurotoxin is injected into the skin, it temporarily blocks the signals from the nerves that tell the facial muscles to contract. Because the muscles can no longer contract, the skin becomes smoother and firmer, greatly softening the appearance of frown lines in the process.

Who Is a Candidate for Dysport?

Adults looking to be rid of their glabellar lines could be good candidates for Dysport in Philadelphia. To be an ideal candidate for the treatment, you should meet the following requirements:

Be over the age of 18
Be in generally good physical health
Have moderate to severe glabellar lines
Be free of active skin outbreaks and rashes
Have no history of neuromuscular diseases
Not be currently pregnant or nursing
Have no allergies to any Dysport ingredients
Have reasonable expectations

What Will the Recovery and Results Be Like After Dysport Treatment?

For most patients, there is virtually no recovery downtime needed after Dysport treatment.

The results of your Dysport treatment should start to appear within a few days. However, it can take up to two weeks for the complete effects to become visible.

Your Dysport Consultation

Before you undergo Dysport treatment, the first step will be to sit down for a consultation with Dr. Bloom. During this meeting, you’ll be able to ask any questions you have about the treatment. The doctor will ask you about your aesthetic goals and help you determine if Dysport is right for you. He will also need to know about your medical history, current health, any allergies you have, and medications you’re taking. Dr. Bloom will then devise a custom-tailored treatment plan that addresses your unique needs and preferences.
