Dysport's Onset

The onset of action is rather quick for Dysport with the majority of patient seeing the effects within 2 to 5 days. There are some paitents that respond somewhat slower, especially if it is their first injection. I certainly would not worry at day 6 since it sounds like you are finding that the muscles are starting to relax. Be patient. If the desired effects have not occurred by day 12-14, I would contact the physician who performed the injection for evaluation. more

Six days post Dysport and still frowning?

Typically, Dysport has a very quick onset of action compared to Botox and Xeomin. I agree that it is possible that you will need a touch up.

Frowning after dysport

There may be several issues here: 1. It can take up to 2 weeks to see the maximum results of your treatment. 2. You may simply need more product. If this is your first time getting dysport, your doctor may not know exactly how much product you need. 3. You may need the product placed in different locations. I would recommend you wait 2 weeks and then make an appointment for follow up. I always advise my patients to call me in 2 weeks if they need a touch up. more

How much time to evaluate Dysport?

It takes 7-10 days to fully evaluate the effects of Dysport, Botox, or Xeomin. After that time, a touch up treatment may be required if there is movement.

Dysport Results

Dysport and Botox work by the same mechanism. If this is your first injection, it may be that you need a stronger dose than average. The product is obviously working since you see an improvement. Also, you need to balance a natural look with maintenance of normal facial animation with the reduction of dynamic wrinkles. If you post before and after images we may be able to give you more advice. Good Luck.

Like Botox, Dysport can take 10-14 days for full effects

Dysport is just like Botox in the sense that it will continue to relax muscles for 10-14 days. You should not get more added or worry about anything until after that point. Give your muscles time to fully relax and take in the product. Then evaluate your results and how you feel.

Dysport - 6 Days

It takes about 2-5 days to see most of the results of neurotoxins, including Dysport, so I would suggest the following: 1) Give it a few more days. While most results are visible at 2-5 days it can take longer. I would suggest waiting about another week. 2) At some point (whether now or then) you can speak with your physician to find out how many units were injected into each area. Remember - it's all about the units; not the cc's, syringes, or... more

Movement after Dysport treatment for frown lines can occur - might need more

Dysport, like Botox, weakens the strength of the muscles it is injected into. It usually starts acting within 2 days, a little earlier than Botox. If you still have movement after 6 days, it could be normal. Someone which has an extremely strong muscle can't expect to have absolutely no movement when getting Dysport or Botox. However, sometimes a larger dose will give a better effect and you need to see your doctor to decide this. If you have a slight... more
