QUESTIONS
1
What is the difference between Dysport and Botox?
They both are a type of botulinum type A used to relax the muscles of the face. There is a difference in the dilution and reconstruction of the products. Personally, I recommend Dysport over Botox as it results in a more natural, subtle appearance that lasts longer.
2
What are some side effects that I might expect?
Most common side effects include: bruising, redness, and swelling. Ptosis, which is when the upper eyelid droops over the eye, is a rare side effect that can occur.
3
When will you see results with Dysport or Dermal Fillers and how long will they last?
With Dysport, you will start seeing results in a few days; they will be fully effective by 12 days and will last 4-6 months. With fillers, you will see results instantly, which will last 9 to 12 months.
