Dysport injections are the latest arsenal in the war against ageing. This safe, simple treatment fights off wrinkles, and smooths out your skin, leaving you with renewed self-confidence - and all without the need for surgery!
What are Dysport injections?
Similar to Botox, Dysport injections are an effective, non-surgical anti-aging treatment. They work by relaxing facial muscles, thereby reducing and smoothing wrinkles and age-lines.
The term Botox has become a by-word for this type of treatment, even though it is in fact a brand name. Dysport is simply a competitor to Botox, and does much the same thing.

How do Dysport injections work?
Every time you smile, frown or squint, you’re contracting muscles around your eyes and forehead, which, over time, results in wrinkles.
Dysport contains Botulinum Toxin Type A, which is a natural purified protein that blocks impulses to and from nerves.
When injected into the forehead, the signals to the facial muscles that are related to expression lines are “frozen”. In basic terms, Dysport injections relax the muscles so they do not contract, and without contracting, they can’t form wrinkles.

Is treatment safe?
Absolutely disport injections are safe. In fact, Dysport was the first botulinum toxin Type A to be approved in New Zealand for medical use, even before Botox.
Supported by over a decade of clinical experience, Dysport has been used in New Zealand by eye specialists and neurologists to treat nervous tics and muscle spasms of the neck and face, and has been used globally for over two decades in the appearance medicine industry.

How long do Dysport injections last?
The effects of Dysport injections can be felt in a couple of days, with a peak effect period around 2- 3 weeks after the initial treatment.
The lines and wrinkles in the treated area will soften, and this will last approximately 4 months. Unless Dysport treatment continues, your muscle activity will gradually return and your wrinkles slowly and naturally reappear.

Is the treatment painful?
While pain is subjective, we can safely say no, the treatment isn’t painful. The needles used are very small so there is minimal pain involved, in fact the sensation can even be compared to that of a mosquito bite!
If you do have a fear of needles, you can choose to have the area numbed with a topical anaesthetic cream, or opt to have a cold pack applied to the area ten minutes before the injection. This way you won’t feel anything at all.
Even if there is a small level of discomfort, most people who have the treatment agree that it is worth it for the youthful results.

Will I get more wrinkles if I stop using Dysport?
If you are concerned that once you start having Dysport injections you can’t stop or else your face will suddenly wrinkle up, then don’t worry.
Lines and wrinkles will go back to how they were before treatment, but it’s a gradual process.
Dysport can also be combined with other treatments, such as dermal fillers and laser treatments. Dermal fillers add volume to skin and counteract the effects of aging by smoothing deep lines and wrinkles. Laser treatments effectively targets both the surface and deeper layers of the skin for a smoother, fresher, younger looking appearance.
