When you see how smooth and youthful your forehead looks after Dysport®, you’ll want the results to last forever. Dysport® is a powerful neuromodulator that relaxes expression lines and wrinkles on the forehead and eyebrows. Results typically start to wear off about four months after treatment.
Dysport® is an investment, and as with any investment, the longer it lasts, the better the value. Triple board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Sara Yegiyants in Santa Barbara, California, shares her tips for making your Dysport® treatment last as long as possible.
Protect Your Skin from the Sun
Think of sunlight as an aging accelerator. The sun’s powerful rays are a leading cause of premature aging. If you’re not protecting your skin, the sun is actively aging your skin at the same time that Dysport® is trying to reverse those wrinkles.
Add sunscreen to your list of daily habits. Dr. Yegiyants recommends applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning (rain or shine), reapplying often when you’re lounging on Santa Barbara’s beautiful beaches. Let Dysport® reverse the signs of aging without the sun creating new wrinkles.
Stick to Your Treatment Schedule
Staying on schedule will help ensure the best possible results from your Dysport® treatment. We typically schedule Dysport® treatments every four months to ensure your skin always looks its best.
Getting regular treatments can extend the longevity of the benefits. As facial muscles become accustomed to relaxation, less Dysport® may be needed over time to achieve the same effect, and results may last longer between treatments.
Enhance Your Results with Other Treatments
Dysport® plays well with others! Dr. Yegiyants loves combining Dysport® with other surgical and non-surgical treatments. By pairing treatments together, patients can address signs of aging across the face to improve their appearance dramatically. Ask Dr. Yegiyants to recommend complementary procedures that will enhance and extend the results of your Dysport® treatment.
Some of our favorite pairings with Dysport® include:
- Dermal Fillers – Dermal fillers can add volume to facial areas experiencing age-related volume loss. Fillers can augment the lips, smooth wrinkles and restore youthful fullness to the mid-face. Like Dysport®, dermal fillers are an injectable treatment and require no downtime.
- PRP – PRP, short for platelet-rich plasma, uses a patient’s own plasma to revitalize the appearance of the skin. PRP is ideal for boosting collagen production and can improve the quality and thickness of the skin, while Dysport® helps to relax stubborn wrinkles.
- Facelift – A facelift offers dramatic facial rejuvenation that focuses on the lower face. Dysport® and facelift surgery work synergistically, each enhancing the results of the other. Dysport® can be used to refresh the appearance of the upper face, especially around the eyes and brows. Working as a powerful duo, this combination is ideal for patients that want to turn back the clock in a bold and noticeable way.
