On the day of your Dysport treatment

Arrive to the office with a clean face – no makeup. If you’d like, you can bring makeup to apply after the treatment.
A mild amount of tenderness around the treated area is sometimes experienced.
Redness and swelling after a Dysport injection are normal. However, if the redness / swelling persists and becomes painful, please contact our office immediately!
Even with preventative measures, and the Dr’s “snap technique”, some bruising might occur. Any bruising will typically only last a few days at most.
Topical numbing agents can be applied as necessary. Please ask Dr. Janowski beforehand if you would like to explore this option.
Dysport After treatment instructions:
- Try to exercise the muscles around the treated area(s) – practice smiling, frowning, raising your eyebrows, clenching your jaw, etc. This can help work the Dysport or Botox into the muscles.
- Although there are differing thoughts on the subject, we recommend that our patients not lie down for a few hours post treatment.
- Avoid strenuous activity immediately following treatment, and try to avoid long periods of bending over – we’re looking at you, Yoga!
- You can gently apply ice or a cold gel pack (we have them if you need). This can help reduce swelling and potential bruising.
- Once any swelling or pinpoint bleeding has subsided you can apply makeup around the treated area.
- Do not try to “rub in” the Dysport around the treated area. It’s best to avoid putting any excessive pressure on the treated area for the first few days – especially when cleansing or applying makeup. Be gentle!
- You make take Tylenol or other acetaminophen to help with any mild discomfort
- Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen! Avoid extended UV exposure until any redness or swelling has subsided, and always wear sunscreen.
- Wait a minimum of 24 hours before receiving any other skin care or laser treatment (or as directed by your Botox® / Dysport provider).

Enhancing your Dysport results :

While the actual amount (units) vary from patient to patient, typically less is more, especially with younger patients. The right amount of Dysport will be determined by you or the doctor.
As with any cosmetic procedure, it’s important that you find an experienced Dr. to perform the injections.
Dysport can take between 3-7 days to “kick in”, although some areas make take effect earlier than others. If, after 7 days, you are not happy with the results, please contact our office!
For most patients, the benefits of Dysport treatments can be enhanced by using a medical-grade skincare system, such as the Obagi line. Products containing Vitamin-C can strengthen the skin and improve laxity and texture. Additionally, use of Tretonoin (or Retin-A) helps rebuild cells in the skin’s epidermis (or top layer). Over time, Tretonoin can strengthen skin, improving firmness and resiliency.
Apply Sunscreen Exposure every 4 hours
98% of skin damage (aging, wrinkles, dark spots, and hyper-pigmentation) is caused by sun damage. Wearing sunscreen is critical to maintaining the look and health of your skin. Sunscreen should be re-applied after every 4 hours of sun exposure. Dr. Janowski recommends a sunscreen with an SPF 45 or greater.
