Dysport® in Charlotte, NC

• DYSPORT is a very popular wrinkle relaxer (Neurotoxin, Botulinum toxin Type A like Botox) primarily used in the upper face to decrease muscle activity responsible for wrinkling. Please see all the wonderful information about DYSPORT and Botox in the the Botox information above.
• DYSPORT is Charlotte Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Vincent Voci’s, favorite for the Frown and Crow’s Feet where you want the most muscle relaxation because it is a little more “powerful”.
• The effects of DYSPORT can last up to 4 months, somewhat longer than Botox, providing you with long-lasting wonderful rejuvenation.
• The younger-looking smoother skin with a very natural appearance, avoiding the "frozen face" effect is the goal. Dr. Voci is all about the Best and Natural Results.
• DYSPORT can give you that and stop the clock there. Awesome.

DYSPORT, like Botox, is injected via a very small fine needle to the specific areas of the face decided on by you and Dr. Voci. Prior to the injection, these areas are treated with a strong numbing cream. The amount (number of units) of DYSPORT injected varies by patient depending on their aesthetic goals and strength and size of the muscles. Some individuals will have deeper lines or broader areas of wrinkling while others will have smaller areas and wrinkles which require less injections and units. DYSPORT, like Botox, is administered during an in-office appointment that typically takes less than 30 minutes plus prior numbing time of about 30 minutes.

Immediately following your DYSPORT injections, there will be some mild swelling and redness at the injection site. This will subside a few hours after the procedure. Mild bruising can occur in some areas. Patients can resume their normal activities immediately, except no lying down for a few hours, no pressure to the frown area and no exercise or anything that increases circulation to the face for a few days. Results following DYSPORT will begin to become apparent within 2-4 days. Final total muscle paralysis in 14 days. With continued on-time treatments the wrinkles will most likely disappear or at least be dramatically reduced with continued total paralysis. Total lack of movement is recommended for the Frown and Crow’s Feet areas. Diminished, but not total paralysis, is recommended for the Forehead and Lips, of course. Natural results are always Dr. Voci’s goal. And it is used by many other specialties when muscle relaxation is needed. There are hundreds of indications for these neurotoxins all over the body.

Dr. Voci always sees his first time DYSPORT / Botox Patients back at 2 weeks to be sure they have the best results. Touch ups are always free between the 2nd and 4th week after DYSPORT and Botox.

Dr. Voci often says that Botox and DYSPORT are the best things that have happened in his career in Aesthetic Plastic Surgery. That means a lot because Liposuction began during his career too!!

Both Dysport and Botox are safe and effective to treat facial wrinkles and both are widely available. A skilled practitioner can tell which medication may offer the best benefit. The results of a Dysport injection typically become visible faster than BOTOX, last a bit longer and spreads to a larger coverage area.

Patients seeking to rejuvenate their Facial appearance may look into injectable fillers as well to attain results. Both skin treatments work to decrease facial wrinkles, but use varying approaches. Injectable fillers add volume to wrinkles or lines with an immediate smooth result on the surface. It is common today to combine products such as DYSPORT and Botox, with an injectable filler, such as Restylane and Juvederm. This has been labeled a “Liquid Facelift” and provides outstanding results for individuals who do not want or need surgery. Dr. Voci loves doing that and has marvelous results.

Patients are usually ready for a follow-up visit within 3-4 months after treatment. This varies by patient.
