Dysport® in Raleigh, NC

Plastic surgeon Dr. Glenn Lyle offers Raleigh, NC patients numerous nonsurgical options for rejuvenated skin. Dysport is an injectable wrinkle treatment that works similarly to BOTOX to reduce and soften dynamic lines and wrinkles on the face. These wrinkles are caused by reiterated facial movements and expressions (like laughing, frowning, and smiling) that over several decades make the facial muscles tight. This causes the overlying skin to have a grooved line that is visible even when your face is relaxed. Dysport is specially created to correct one of the most common dynamic wrinkles: the vertical lines between the eyebrows known as frown lines. It temporarily blocks signals to the muscle so the line is smoother, but with natural-looking results that don't make your face look frozen. Learn more about Dysport injectable wrinkle relaxer treatments at Raleigh Plastic Surgery Center to help you look more youthful.

Dysport is ideal if you are looking for a nonsurgical option to improve moderate to severe vertical frown (glabellar) lines between the eyebrows. Since dynamic wrinkles and lines are caused by chronic use, they can develop at any age and make you look mad, sad, or tired. Dysport is a fast, effective treatment that addresses dynamic wrinkles without giving you a "frozen" face. Since Dysport spreads to treat a cluster of wrinkles, it is also ideal for Crow's feet, the fine lines in the outer corners of the eyes. Most patients at Raleigh Plastic Surgery Center see visible improvements in their appearance a few days after their procedure that can last up to four months.

Dysport injections are administered in one of our private treatment rooms after your consultation with Dr. Lyle, taking about 15 – 30 minutes. A numbing cream or local anesthetic is usually not needed since injections are made with a fine-gauge needle that causes little discomfort, but it can be requested. The skin will be thoroughly cleansed and five carefully placed injections will be administered along the brow, followed by a cold compress to lessen swelling and bruising. After your injections at Raleigh Plastic Surgery Center, you can resume regular tasks but you should try to avoid strenuous activities for at least one day.

After a Dysport treatment, you may see mild swelling and redness at and around the injection sites, but this generally will disappear in a few days. You should sleep upright for at least one night and continue to use a cold compress as needed. Results are commonly seen within a few days as the severity of your dynamic wrinkles are minimized for a smoother, softer appearance. These results typically last for about 3 – 4 months, and more treatments can be done at Raleigh Plastic Surgery Center to maintain them.

If you are looking for a nonsurgical option to revitalize your skin by correcting the frown lines between your brows, Dysport injectable wrinkle relaxer is a great choice. You can learn about Dysport and other treatment options during your meeting with plastic surgeon Dr. Glenn Lyle to get a personalized plan that addresses your needs.
