Dysport: Q&A

Dysport Recovery
I'm considering getting Dysport but I want to know what the typical recovery is like. Is a couple of hours enough? Or will there be bruising or swelling that will require a longer downtime?

Fast recovery expected from Dysport
Dysport recovery is similar to Botox recovery. Many patients will have only slight redness at the injection sites for 1-2 hours. Icing the areas helps to minimize this. If there is bruising, which is uncommon, it can last about 7 days. The bruise is typically very small if it occurs and easily covered by makeup. The effects of Dysport are not immediate; usually they are evident 3-4 days after treatment.

Dysport recovery
Typically, there may be some swelling and redness at the injection sites immediately after injections. For some, bruising may occur, and this may last for a few days to a week.

Dysport/botox recovery
Most patients are able to continue with their day after having dysport or botox. I always warn patients that they may get a bruise or some redness. But it's nothing that make up can't cover (this is true for men also). I ask my patients not to drink alcohol, exercise vigorously or go shoe shopping (bend down) immediately after the injection - all increase the chance of bruising.

Dysport Recovery
Most patients resume normal activities immediately following the procedure. There is usually no discomfort after the procedure. Unfortunately, some patients may experience some bruising that can last several days or longer. This is uncommon when treating the frown lines and is more common when treating the Crow's feet.

Recovery from dysport injection
I don't think that one would need any "recovery" time after having Dysport injected. You can do it over lunch and go back to work. There are some restrictions such as lying down for a few hours post injection. However on occaision one might have "down time". This is time where you aren't looking your best. You might have a few red dots for short time or could get a little bruising. So, don't do it the day befor e you are in a wedding.

Dysport and Botox Recovery
The application of Dysport and Botox almost always involves a "no downtime" recovery if done properly with an experienced physician using appropriate technique. Nearly all, if not all, patients can go back to work the same day and not have colleagues notice the effects of the application. Swelling is negligible. Minor bruising can result in a 1 out of 40 patients, but it is usually covered well with makeup. Notify your...

Essentially no recovery time
My patients usually leave the office with little to no evidence of injections with Dysport or Botox. We use 31 gauge needles and very small volumes of saline to reconstitute our Dysport/Botox. This results in essentially no swelling and very little chance of bruising.

Dysport recovery is the same as Botox: short but same risks of bruising, etc.
Don't choose Dysport over Botox for any difference in recovery time. They work similarly. They are different from the fillers which can cause some temporary and localized swelling, but there is always a risk of very small bruises at injection sites, which a careful physician injector will try very hard to avoid.

Rapid recovery from Dysport
Recovery from a Dysport injection is no different from recovery from Botox. I recommend that you:
1. Refrain from exercise activity for the rest of the day after your injection.
2. Avoid lying down for several hours after your injection.
3. Use ice to the treated areas.
Bruising is clearly possible, especially in the crows' feet regions (around the eyes). This can be minimized by following the above recommendations (1-3). If you tend to bruise easily...

Recovery after Dysport
For patients getting dysport, the recovery is minimal. In an hour the patient is usually back to normal. That being said, any time a needle is introduced in the skin a bruise can result. If that is the case, then it would take a week or two before the bruise is gone. I have not had a patient bruised from Botox or Dysport yet but a bruise can happen. How do I know about the dysport recovery?...because I have had myself injected with both Botox and Dysport and that was my experience as well.
