Dysport: Q&A

Does Dysport Take Longer to See Results or Did It Not Work for Me?
I had a Dysport treatment 7 days ago without any results. I am a 37 year old male and this was my first injection. I keep reading that results are supposed to happen within the first 48 hrs. I have strong corrugator muscles, would this slow the results?

Dysport usually starts working in 2-3 days but full effect is seen at 7-10 days.
If you haven't seen any effect from the dysport , then you should get a touch up of it since dysport usually starts to take effect within 2-3 days and full effect within 7-10 days. Be aware, there is always going to be a charge for more dysport or botox when and if you ever need a touchup . We charge $300 for an area and $150 for a touchup if I did the original shots as long as the touchup is within 2 weeks of the original injections. Sincerely,

Dysport effects on facial lines
There is a difference between my experience and some of the publshed data available. A number of articles state dysport is just as effective as botox, with the same duration and maybe even a slightly quicker onset. So, just like botox cosmetic, you do need to give it 2 weeks to get a true representation of what it can achieve.
That being said, my office experience with four different injectors (myself being one of them) have had some issues with the reproducibility of dysport. I have had...

How long it takes to see Dysport Results
After a Dysport injection, most patients report seeing a difference within 2-3 days, but the maximum result will not be seen for approximately 2 weeks. If you have a strong corrugator muscle, it is possible that you made need a touch up to further relax the muscle. I recommend scheduling an appointment with your doctor on day 14 to determine if more Dysport is needed. I hope this information helps.

RE: How Long It Takes To See Dysport Results
Dysport results usually take up to a week to fully manifest.
However, a higher dosage may be needed to treat stronger muscles.
Dysport works like Botox. Your muscles contract because nerve fibers are releasing a chemical signal called acetylcholine. Dyport will block the release of this chemical. In your case, if the muscles are not relaxed to a sufficient degree, administering more Dysport may address this issue.
In some patients, Dysport results are very quick....

You may need a higher dosing than what was initially used. I recommend that you see your provider for a f/up.

Dysport Results
Patients usually see results within a few days with Dysport. You may need a higher dose then what was used. I would recommend seeing your physician in the next week or so if you still see no results by day 14.

Wait 2 weeks to judge results
While Dysport does start working within 48-72 hours, it really takes almost 2 weeks to see maximum results. I would wait at least 2 weeks before you decide if it worked or not. Sometimes you may need a little touch up if your muscles are really strong, and men have stronger muscles than women. It is much easier to go back and add a little more if needed, than to do too much the first time. I would rather be conservative with my patients.

Dysport relaxing effects
I have treated hundreds of patients with Dysport over the last 10 months. Many of them used to recieve Botox, and then decided to try Dysport. The overwhelming majority have stayed with Dysport, though a few have switched back. In general, we find the Dysport starts working in 2-3 days, much sooner than botox.
Perhaps you were undertreated and could use a touch up, or maybe this product is not for you. If 1-2 weeks have elapsed, and you are not seeing the expected results it is time to...

Dysport result
Typically I tell my patients to wait 7 days to see the maximum result of the treatment. However, that time could be longer or shorter. The photo is hard to see and there is no before shot we could compare it to either. Your best bet is wait 7 days, and make sure you book a follow-up appointment with your physician so they can correct/touch-up any area's that might need more attention.
Good Luck.

Dysport results
Dysport is supposed to start working in 3 days. However wait at least 2 weeks before you make any judgement. If you have a strong currrogator muscle you may need a little touch up.

Doctors will not see your comments on their answers. If you'd like to follow up, please go here to ask another question.
I don't understand why a doctor would charge for a touch up within the first couple of weeks. It seems to me that the doctor should be willing to perfect his/her work for free. If you paid for the service and the charge is per site, it stands to reason that would be adequate to properly perform the service.
I'm not quite sure what you are referencing, since a touch-up isn't discussed in the main question. I'm assuming one of the doctors mentioned it in their answer?
Here is a Q&A that specifically deals with costs for a touch-up:
Do You Have to Pay for Botox Touchups?
Hope the explanations in that Q&A help provide some clarity. :)
exactly. I had dysport on dec 4 2012 and I have paid substantial hard-saved money and as far as I can tell I look exactly the same. still frowning - still plenty of crows feet. The practice said I could come in for a free follow up but would have to pay for any touch ups. I can't afford any more at Christmas. So I feel I have thrown nearly $800.00 down the toilet. very disappointed. Could have spent this on a nice weekend away relaxing and probably would have ended up with less crows feet! ;)
Wow, I'm very surprised to hear that you didn't see any change given that you mentioned it cost $800 and as long as they charge a fee in keeping with many other offices that would be a lot of product. Since you mentioned they would charge for the touch up I'm assuming you paid by unit instead of by area, is that right? Do you know how many units total you had injected?
