What is Dysport made of?

The glabellar region encompasses the section of your forehead between your eyes. Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable that can be used to effectively diminish the appearance of glabellar lines. Dysport is formulated using abobotulinumtoxinA, produced by the Clostridium botulinum bacterium. This strain of toxin belongs to the family of Botulinum toxins, which are used to formulate other anti-wrinkle injectables like Botox. When used in really small quantities, can help stop the occurrence of wrinkles and fine lines in the forehead region. Dysport is a neural inhibitor that stops neural impulses that stimulate muscle contraction.

How does Dysport work?

Normally, your brain releases neural signals that stimulate muscle contractions in your forehead. Dysport inhibits these neural signals and prevents them from reaching the muscle ensuring there is no muscle contraction. In essence, it temporarily paralyzes the muscles in the forehead, ensuring that your skin doesn’t wrinkle and causes the formation of glabellar lines. Not only this, but Dysport is specifically designed to soften the appearance of lines already in existence. As muscles continue to experience constant contraction and relaxation, the lines on your skin deepen, causing severe wrinkles. By preventing neural signals from reaching the glabellar muscles, Dysport ensures that existent forehead lines don’t worsen. A single treatment can make a significant difference in the appearance of forehead and frown lines. Contact us to schedule a consultation for Dysport in Southlake, TX.

How long does Dysport take to work?

The Dysport treatment can take about 2-4 days to show initial effects. During the first few days after the treatment, your forehead may have minor swelling and may feel tender, but these will subside soon. After the treatment, you may experience a mild headache, and that is completely normal. You must not wrinkle your face too much for a day or two after the treatment so that the effects of the newly-injected Dysport aren’t lost. Within a week, you’ll notice a gradual change in your forehead’s appearance. There will be fewer lines and within a month or so, your forehead will start to look smoother. Dysport lasts for about 3-4 months after the injection. After this, you may start to notice minor lines appearing on your forehead. In that case, you can always contact Dr. Gordon at Renew MD Facial Aesthetics for a follow-up Dysport in Southlake, TX injectable session.

The Dysport difference

Although Dysport and Botox are both neural inhibitors, the effects they have on your skin are slightly different. Botox is more an all-around injection, but Dysport is especially intended for glabellar lines. This makes Dysport in Southlake, TX more suited if you want an isolated treatment for moderate to severe glabellar lines.

Dysport is reported to be one of the fastest-acting injectables available. If you have a special event planned and are in need of faster results, Dysport may be right for you.

Went and saw Dr. Gordon to get Botox for my excessive armpit sweating. One visit, completely numb, and I have not sweat a single drop from my armpits since. I can finally wear whatever shirts I want without fear of sweating completely through a shirt!! Dr. Gordon has the best bedside manner and I would recommend Renew MD for any injectable/non-invasive/minimally invasive procedure!

I can’t say enough good things about Renew MD, Dr. Gordon, and her team. Starting my skin journey there was the best decision I’ve ever made. Dr. Gordon and everyone there makes you feel right at home and makes the whole experience from start to finish enjoyable. I’ve never felt more confident in my own skin than since I started the Aerolase laser and microneedling here. I finally leave the house without makeup and I do it proudly now! The best part is that the laser facial has absolutely zero down time and works better than anything I’ve ever tried in the past (including the awful CO2 laser) Their injectors are phenomenal too. Dr. Gordon herself and Isabel, her Nurse Practitioner, are the best most highly trained injectors. I’m so thankful for Dr. Gordon and her team for helping me along the way and making my skin glow, along with my confidence! Can’t recommend this med spa enough!

This review is long overdue. Although my time spent with Renew was relatively short (coming in between pregnancies and before a cross county move) it was the best experience I've ever had when it comes to the health and beauty industry. I sometimes find when you go somewhere with a lot of money floating around people can be rude and stuck up. This couldn't be further from the truth at Renew. My experience with Dr. Gordon and Briley was so refreshing. They seemed to genuinely care about me reaching my aesthetic goals and Dr. Gordon was even honest when I was about to get filler and she didn't think I should do it. Today, a year later, I am still seeing the benefits of the subcision she did on my chin. I am so sad that I moved away from Texas because my experience at other med spas here in Georgia have not been nearly as enjoyable (or had even close to as good of results) as Renew. I miss this place and can't recommend enough.

I have been a customer of Renew MD for 6+ years and they are terrific. I have done facial filler numerous times as well as Xeomin (similar to Botox) treatments. Dr Gordon and her team have kept me looking younger with very natural effects, which was my goal. The team at Renew are friendly, well trained and all my experiences have been extremely positive. It was also important to me to use a facility that has a MD doctor supervising everything. Prior to discovering Dr Gordon, I had used a couple of spas that did not have a medical doctor and I was not pleased. Dr Gordon is continually pursuing and educating her team with the latest and greatest treatments, which I think is very important. My husband has also done some hydrafacial treatments and they definitely made a difference. I highly recommend Renew MD to anyone wanting to look their best!

Injecting Dysport

The Dysport injection process is an in-clinic treatment.

At the beginning of the treatment, Dr. Gordon marks the areas of your forehead to be treated with Dysport. She carefully measures the number of Dysport units needed. It’s important to remember that Dysport and other neural inhibiting injectables don’t have a comparable dosage and after your consultation, we will determine how many units you will need for the treatment.

Then, using a fresh syringe, Dr. Gordon gently injects the Dysport into the pre-identified areas of your forehead. It is recommended scheduling any injectables at least two weeks or more prior to any big event or occasion.
