Dysport® in Fleming Island, FL

Pura Vida Body & Mind Spa offers Fleming Island, FL, area patients many nonsurgical options for anti-aging, including a wide variety of well-known and widely sought-after cosmetic injections. Dysport is an injectable wrinkle relaxer that works similarly to BOTOX® to reduce and soften dynamic lines and wrinkles throughout the face. Dynamic wrinkles are formed by recurrent facial expressions and movements (like laughing, frowning, and smiling). This causes the skin over the muscle to have a furrowed line that can be seen even when your face is relaxed. Dysport is uniquely designed to correct the most common dynamic wrinkles. It temporarily relaxes the treated muscles, so your skin looks smoother, but with natural-looking results that don't give you a "frozen" face.

Dysport is a good choice if you are looking for a nonsurgical procedure to improve moderate to severe fine lines and wrinkles on the face and neck. A few benefits of Dysport injections include:

• The formula spreads to reach a cluster of wrinkles, so less is more
• Improvements can be noted in a few days and may last up to four months
• Dysport can be used on the forehead, around the nose and mouth, and on the neck
• The solution may prevent future wrinkles from developing

Your Dysport injections can be administered the same day as an initial consultative visit. Anesthetic is generally unnecessary because Dysport is injected using a fine-gauge needle that causes very little discomfort. However, our practice proudly offers Pro-Nox™ nitrous oxide for pain prevention and anxiety relief. Topical anesthetic can also be applied to the injection sights prior to your treatment. 

The treatment area will be thoroughly cleansed and well-placed Dysport injections will be made in predetermined areas. Your injections can be followed with a cold compress to limit bruising and swelling. After your treatment, you may resume daily tasks, but you should avoid strenuous activities for at least one day.

Following your Dysport treatment, you may see slight redness and swelling near the injected area, but this generally will resolve in 1 – 3 days. You should sleep upright the night of your appointment and continue to apply cold compresses as needed. Improvements are usually seen in a few days, leaving you with a smoother, softer appearance. Your results should typically last for around 3 – 4 months. Follow-up appointments can be scheduled in intervals to extend your results.

If you are seeking a nonsurgical procedure to refresh your appearance by addressing fine lines and wrinkles, Dysport might be a good fit for you. You can discuss Dysport injections and other nonsurgical options during your appointment for a custom treatment plan that meets your goals. We encourage you to contact our practice near Jacksonville, FL to learn more and schedule your appointment.
