DYSPORT™

In several trials – Dysport™ results were faster acting & longer lasting than Botox.

Dysport™ is now FDA approved for use in treating forehead frown lines. Dysport™ is so similar to Botox® that it is often referred to as a twin or first cousin to Botox® Cosmetic. Like Botox, Dysport™ is an injectable form of botulinum toxin Type A.  Dysport™ has been used in Europe, Asia and South America for over a decade. It is currently licensed for use in over 60 countries worldwide.  Dysport™ was developed in the United Kindgom in the 1990’s to specifically and successfully treat a number of neurological, ophthalmic, and neuromuscular disorders.  Since then its use has been further developed for cosmetic purposes  – such as wrinkle treatment.  Thousands and thousands of safe and effective age-defying treatments have been performed.

Dr. Covey is committed to bringing his patients the most advanced but safest and most reliable treatments available today.

 Dysport™ Frequently Asked Questions:

What Is Dysport™?
Like Botox®, Dysport™ is made from a protein extracted from the bacterium Clostridium Botulinum.  It is safe and effective and works by blocking nerve impulses to the muscle in a specific area of the face. This causes the muscle to relax and for lines and wrinkles to smooth out while the muscles still work to let you smile, frown, talk, and show emotion.

How Is Dysport™ Treatment Done?
Dysport™ injection treatment involves using a very fine needle and pre-measured doses that are injected into the muscle just beneath the wrinkle.  This causes the muscle to relax allowing existing lines and wrinkles to smooth out – and preventing new ones from forming.

Is A Dysport™ Injection Painful?
There is some discomfort associated with any injection – but when performed by a specially trained “injector” like Dr. Covey you are less likely to experience much, if any discomfort.  Topical anesthetic can be used if you feel you need it.

Is Dysport™ Better Than Botox® Cosmetic?
NO.  Dysport™ is not necessarily better than Botox® Cosmetic – in fact they are “twins” or “first cousins.”  It may be a better choice for some people over Botox® - and having another option is always good.  Dysport™ and Botox® work basically the same way – but Dysport™ may last longer in some people and may be more affordable. In many cases, Dysport™ has proven to have greater efficacy. Discuss this with Dr. Covey who is an expert in all injection treatments and is able to help you make the right choice.

What Can I Expect After A Dysport™ Injection Treatment?
Some swelling is normal and to be expected at the injection sites.  This is temporary and goes away very quickly.  Most people return to normal activities right after a treatment. 

How Long Does A Dysport™ Treatment Take?
Many of Dr. Covey’s patients choose this as a “lunch hour” rejuvenation treatment. A session takes only a few minutes.

When Will I See Results From A Dysport™ Treatment?
Dysport™ results showed up within 2-3 days in hundreds of clinical trials and early results are also touted by thousands of patients who have experienced the wonderful results Dysport™ offers. 

How Long Do Results From Dysport™ Injections Last?
That’s more good news!  Typically, patients are enjoying their results for several weeks to many months.
