Dysport® in Silver Spring, MD

Board-certified surgeon Dr. Tsion Berhane offers patients numerous nonsurgical options for rejuvenating the skin. Dysport is an injectable wrinkle treatment that works like BOTOX to reduce and soften dynamic wrinkles and lines throughout the face. Dynamic wrinkles are caused by reiterated facial expressions and movements (like laughing, frowning, and smiling) that over time make the facial muscles taut. This causes the skin over the muscle to have a furrowed line that is visible, even when your face is resting. Dysport is uniquely formulated to treat the most frequent dynamic wrinkles: the frown lines that show up as vertical lines between the eyebrows. It temporarily relaxes the muscle so the dynamic wrinkle is smoother but with natural-looking results that don't give you a "frozen" face. Contact Jubilee Cosmetic Surgery in Silver Spring, MD to learn more about Dysport injectable wrinkle relaxers that can give you a more refreshed appearance. 

Dysport is ideal if you want a nonsurgical treatment to correct moderate to severe vertical glabellar (frown) lines that appear between the eyebrows. Since dynamic wrinkles and lines are caused by repetitive use, they can become visible at any age and make you appear mad, sad, or tired. Dysport is an effective, fast treatment that smoothes dynamic wrinkles without leaving a "frozen" face. Since Dysport's formula spreads to reach a cluster of wrinkles, it is also great for Crow's feet, the small wrinkles in the outer corners of the eyes. Many patients at Jubilee Cosmetic Surgery notice visible improvements in their appearance a few days following their procedure that usually last as long as four months.

Following your consultation with Dr. Berhane, she will perform your Dysport injections in one of our private treatment rooms. Injections usually take around 15 – 30 minutes. A local anesthetic or numbing cream is usually unnecessary since the injections are made using a fine-gauge needle that causes minimal pain, but it may be applied if requested. The skin will be thoroughly cleansed and injections will be placed along the eyebrows, followed with a cold compress to lessen swelling and bruising. 

After a Dysport treatment at Jubilee Cosmetic Surgery, you are free to resume normal tasks, but you should try to avoid taxing activities for at least 24 hours. Following your injections, you may have light swelling and redness near the injected area, but this typically will resolve within 1 – 3 days. You can apply a cold compress if needed. Results are commonly seen in 1 – 3 days as the severity of your lines is minimized for a softer, smoother appearance. 

Your Dysport results should remain for around 3 – 4 months. Dr. Berhane can perform touch-up injections as needed to extend your results. You may get treatments more often or wait longer after you see the results from your initial Dysport treatment. During your initial in-depth consultation at Jubilee Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Berhane will advise you on how often to schedule appointments to maintain your best results. 

If you are seeking a nonsurgical option to rejuvenate your appearance by smoothing the frown lines between your brows, Dysport injectable wrinkle relaxer is an excellent choice. During your consultation at Jubilee Cosmetic Surgery, Dr. Berhane will discuss Dysport injections and other anti-aging options to develop a unique plan that addresses your specific concerns and goals. We encourage you to contact our Silver Spring, MD office to find out more and schedule an appointment.
