Post-Dysport Care: How to Maximize Your Treatment Results

If you’re considering Dysport or have recently undergone this treatment with us, you might be curious about when you’ll start seeing the results. Typically, our patients begin to notice the effects of Dysport within a few days after their appointment. While some individuals may observe changes as soon as two to three days post-injection, most of our clients experience the most noticeable improvements within five to seven days. This gradual onset occurs because Dysport works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause facial wrinkles, and it takes a little time for these muscles to respond fully.

At Pacific Coast Aesthetics, we find that the full effect of Dysport is usually visible around two weeks after treatment. By this stage, you should notice a significant reduction in dynamic wrinkles, resulting in a smoother and more youthful appearance. It’s important to remember that individual results can vary based on factors such as the severity of the wrinkles, muscle mass, metabolism, and the specific areas treated.

While the effects of Dysport are temporary, they generally last for about three to four months. To maintain your rejuvenated look, many of our clients choose to schedule regular follow-up treatments. Our skilled professionals at Pacific Coast Aesthetics are experienced in administering Dysport and can provide you with a personalized treatment plan with maximum benefits of Dysport and realistic expectations tailored to your unique needs.

Understanding the eagerness to resume daily activities, including makeup application, we emphasize following specific post-treatment guidelines to enhance your results and minimize any potential side effects. After your Dysport session, you might experience temporary sensitivity, slight redness, or swelling at the injection sites.

To support optimal recovery and results, we recommend avoiding makeup application immediately after your treatment. Ideally, wait at least 24 hours before introducing cosmetics to the treated areas. This allows your skin to recover and minimizes the risk of irritation or infection. During this period, keep the treated area clean and avoid unnecessary contact for optimal skincare.

If you find it necessary to wear makeup within the first 24 hours, we suggest choosing mineral-based products known for their gentle properties. Use clean tools to apply the makeup lightly, steering clear of any aggressive rubbing or massaging of the skin.

At Pacific Coast Aesthetics, we provide personalized post-treatment instructions tailored to your unique skin type and treatment specifics. By following these guidelines, you can ensure the effectiveness of your Dysport treatment while maintaining radiant, healthy skin. Our team is always here to support you with any questions or concerns you may have throughout your aesthetic journey.

Firstly, we advise you to stay upright for at least four hours post-procedure. This helps prevent the Dysport from migrating to unintended areas, ensuring that the treatment remains effective and reduces the risk of undesirable effects.

Please refrain from touching or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours. This precaution helps maintain the precision of the Dysport application, preventing any impact on its efficacy and reducing the chance of asymmetrical results. Additionally, avoid engaging in rigorous physical activities for the first 24 hours, as increased blood flow and movement can affect the distribution of the injection.

We recommend avoiding alcohol and non-prescription blood thinners such as aspirin or ibuprofen for a day or two post-treatment. These substances can increase the risk of bruising at the injection sites. Also, steer clear of extreme heat exposure, such as saunas or hot showers, for the first few days to prevent exacerbating any swelling or bruising.

Staying hydrated is crucial for a smooth recovery and skincare, so we encourage you to drink plenty of water to support your body’s healing process. Lastly, keep in touch with our team at Pacific Coast Aesthetics for any follow-up appointments and report any unusual side effects or concerns. Open communication with us ensures that any issues are promptly addressed, maximizing the effectiveness and longevity of your Dysport results.

One effective way to reduce swelling and discomfort after your Dysport treatment is by using a cold compress. The cold helps constrict blood vessels, minimizing bruising and reducing inflammation. However, it’s crucial to apply the cold compress correctly to prevent any adverse effects.

We recommend gently applying a cold compress to the treated area for short intervals of around 10 to 15 minutes. Ensure that the cold pack is wrapped in a soft cloth or towel to protect your skin from direct contact, which can prevent potential skin damage or frostbite. It’s also important to wait at least 24 hours post-treatment before using a cold compress to allow the Dysport to settle properly into the muscles.

In addition to using a cold compress, we advise avoiding massaging or rubbing the treated area, as this could cause the product to migrate to unintended areas. Keeping your head elevated and refraining from strenuous exercise for the first 24 hours can also help minimize swelling and bruising.
