Soft, Natural Results With No Frozen Look

Are you trying to find an injectable that provides natural-looking results yet can handle deep dynamic wrinkles in your forehead? Are you looking for something that will begin to reveal results right away? Dysport is the friendly alternative that can help you achieve a friendly, youthful glow.

Dysport at Self Care LA

At Self Care LA, our goal is to offer a highly curated, customized list of treatments that we can provide to our patients with the highest level of excellence. Part of the active team, as well as our medical director and owner, Dr. Kothakota, understands that every patient has unique needs and may not have a clear direction on how to address them. That's why our Santa Monica Dysport option is just one of several safe, innovative, and effective treatments that we can provide to our patients as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.

What is Dysport?

Dysport is an injectable neuromodulator that contains abobotulinumtoxinA, a form of botulinum toxin type A, that is designed to address dynamic frown lines by creating temporary paralysis in the tiny facial muscles of the forehead. Dysport is unique due to its distinct manufacturing process, which results in exceptionally small molecules and a thin consistency. This specific formulation not only yields remarkably natural-looking Dysport outcomes but also facilitates rapid dispersion, delivering visible results in as little as two days.

What aesthetic issues does Dysport address?

Dysport is a trusted, effective treatment for common signs of aging. It specifically targets dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by repeated facial movements such as smiling, frowning, or squinting. With Dysport, you can enjoy smoother, refreshed skin while maintaining natural facial expressions.

Here are some key aesthetic concerns Dysport can address:

Forehead Lines: Smooth out horizontal lines that appear when raising your eyebrows.
Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines): Diminish the "11 lines" between your eyebrows for a more relaxed appearance.
Crow's Feet: Soften fine lines at the corners of your eyes caused by smiling or squinting.
Bunny Lines: Minimize wrinkles on the sides of the nose for a polished look.
Neck Bands: In some cases, Dysport can also reduce the appearance of vertical neck lines.

With Dysport, the goal is always to achieve natural-looking results that enhance your features while helping you feel confident in your own skin.

Can Dysport be combined with other treatments?

Yes! Dysport is a highly versatile treatment that works beautifully alongside other non-surgical procedures to achieve your desired look. Combining treatments can provide more comprehensive and long-lasting results.

Here are some popular pairings:

Dermal Fillers: While Dysport relaxes dynamic wrinkles, fillers like Juvéderm or Restylane can restore lost volume and smooth static wrinkles, such as smile lines or hollow cheeks.
Microneedling or Chemical Peels: Enhance skin texture and tone by combining Dysport with treatments that promote collagen production and improve overall skin health.
Laser Skin Resurfacing: Address pigmentation issues, fine lines, and skin texture alongside the wrinkle-reducing benefits of Dysport.
Skincare Products: Your results can last longer when paired with medical-grade skincare products tailored to your needs.

Our team at Self Care LA will work with you to create a personalized treatment plan that delivers natural-looking, radiant results. Whether you're aiming for a subtle refresh or a more noticeable transformation, we’re here to help you every step of the way.

Dysport vs. Botox

While Dysport and Botox are both injectable treatments commonly used to address forehead lines and frown lines between the eyebrows, and they share a common active ingredient, botulinum toxin type A, there are distinct differences.

While Botox is known for its denser formulation, which offers stability, some patients feel that it can result in a somewhat "frozen" or less expressive appearance. On the other hand, Dysport has a more diluted composition, which consistently delivers a softer and exceptionally natural, wrinkle-free appearance. The thinner solution also allows for swifter distribution within the treatment area, often providing quicker results on average compared to Botox.

Am I a candidate for Dysport?

Dysport Candidates

Patients who want to address glabellar lines with a simple, in-office, minimally invasive procedure are most likely great candidates for treatment. Our Santa Monica Dysport patients are typically over 25 years old, and it's great for both women and men. If you've ever had a severe reaction using Botox, you should consult with your provider prior to using Dysport.

DysportProcedure

Dysport appointments typically only take about 10-15 minutes and are fairly simple. Your skin will be prepared, numbing cream will be applied, and then the serum will be skillfully injected into the treatment area by one of our trained aesthetic medical professionals.

DysportResults

One of the biggest advantages of Dysport is how quickly you’ll start to notice results. Many patients see a difference within just one to two days after their treatment, though it may take up to a week for the full effects to settle in. The results typically last four to six months, depending on factors like your skin type, the treated area, and your body’s natural metabolic rate. With regular treatments, you can maintain smooth, youthful-looking skin for the long term.

DysportRecovery & Aftercare

Dysport is a quick, minimally invasive treatment with little to no downtime, making it a convenient option for busy schedules. Here’s what to expect:

Minimal Side Effects: Following injections with Dysport Santa Monica patients may experience mild swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites, but these effects are usually temporary and can be managed with an ice pack.
Practical Tips for Recovery: Sleeping with your head elevated for the first night can help reduce any swelling. Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for at least 24 hours to ensure optimal results.
No Downtime: Most patients return to their daily activities immediately after treatment. Whether it’s work, errands, or a lunch date, Dysport won’t slow you down.

To extend the life of your results, consider:

Avoiding excessive sun exposure and always wearing sunscreen.
Following a consistent skincare routine with medical-grade products recommended by your provider.
Scheduling touch-ups every few months to maintain your refreshed appearance.

Our goal at Self Care LA is to ensure your treatment experience is seamless and your results exceed your expectations. If you have any questions after your appointment, our team is always here to help.

How much does Dysport cost?

The cost of Dysport varies depending on your personalized treatment plan. Factors like the number of units needed, the size of the treatment area, and whether Dysport is combined with other procedures all influence the total price. Costs can also vary by region, with Los Angeles pricing potentially differing from other areas.

At Self Care LA, your investment includes a detailed consultation, expert administration by our skilled providers, and care in our modern, comfortable facility. During your consultation, we’ll provide a transparent breakdown of costs and discuss flexible payment options to help you achieve your aesthetic goals within your budget.
