At Noor Laser Center, your safety, comfort, and satisfaction are our highest priorities. Before scheduling your Dysport injection, we provide a thorough consultation with one of our experienced medical professionals to assess whether Dysport treatment is the most suitable option for your individual goals and overall health. Dysport is a clinically proven injectable designed to temporarily smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles, particularly the frown lines between your eyebrows, by relaxing the underlying muscles.
During your consultation, please inform our specialists of any known allergies you may have, especially to botulinum toxin products or cow’s milk protein, as Dysport may contain trace amounts of these substances. Additionally, please share any relevant medical history, including neuromuscular disorders like myasthenia gravis, Lambert-Eaton syndrome, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). We carefully evaluate these factors as certain medical conditions may increase your risk of side effects.
Some substances may increase your risk of bruising, bleeding, or interactions with Dysport injections. If you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding, please let us know, as the safety of Dysport in these situations has not been fully established.
Our team will provide clear guidance on realistic expectations, targeted injection placement, and anticipated duration of results, typically lasting approximately three to four months. We will also discuss potential side effects and complications. Common side effects such as mild swelling, bruising, redness, or minor discomfort at the injection site typically resolve within days. Although rare, more serious complications may include drooping eyelids, blurred vision, difficulty swallowing, or breathing problems. Our specialists thoroughly explain these risks and benefits, ensuring you are fully informed and comfortable before proceeding.
To minimize the risk of bruising and complications, our center may recommend avoiding alcohol, anti-inflammatory medications, and specific vitamins or supplements for several days before your appointment. After your Dysport treatment, our specialists will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help optimize your results and minimize side effects.
Preparing properly for your Dysport injection with our experienced medical professionals will help ensure a smooth experience and optimal results. Here are essential guidelines to follow before your procedure:
Schedule Your Consultation
During your initial consultation, openly discuss your medical history, including any medications, supplements, or herbal remedies you’re currently taking. Our experts will carefully review your medications and advise you accordingly.
Adjust Lifestyle Habits Before Treatment
In the days leading up to your Dysport injection, avoid alcohol consumption, as alcohol can increase the likelihood of bruising and swelling. Staying hydrated and maintaining a balanced diet rich in nutrients can further enhance your body’s natural healing process, optimizing your results.
Plan for Important Events
We recommend scheduling your Dysport appointment at least two weeks before any significant events or social engagements.
Preparing for Your Appointment
On the day of your Dysport procedure, please cleanse your face thoroughly and avoid applying makeup or skincare products to the treatment areas. Arriving with clean skin helps minimize infection risk and allows our expert injector to clearly evaluate your facial anatomy. Wear comfortable clothing and consider bringing a cold pack or ice pack to your appointment, as this can help reduce swelling and provide comfort after treatment.
Set Realistic Expectations
Prior to your treatment, our specialists will ensure you fully understand the procedure and expected outcomes. We encourage you to ask any remaining questions and discuss any concerns, so you feel informed, comfortable, and confident in your Dysport experience.
Following these recommendations will help you achieve the safest experience and optimal aesthetic outcomes with Dysport treatment at Noor Laser Center. Our dedicated team looks forward to helping you reach your skincare goals.
Dysport is a popular injectable treatment offered by our expert medical practitioners to smooth fine lines and facial wrinkles by relaxing targeted muscles. Following your Dysport injections, proper aftercare is essential to ensure maximum effectiveness, reduce potential side effects, and achieve the youthful, refreshed appearance you desire.
Immediately After Your Dysport Treatment:
• Avoid touching, rubbing, or massaging treated areas. Gentle handling ensures the Dysport remains precisely in the targeted muscles, optimizing your results.
Facial Movements and Physical Activities:
• Within the first few hours after your injections, gentle facial movements such as smiling, frowning, or raising your eyebrows are beneficial, as they help Dysport settle evenly into the treated muscles.
• Avoid vigorous exercise or strenuous physical activity for 24 hours post-treatment. Increased blood flow from intense activity could elevate the risk of swelling or bruising.
Alcohol and Medications:
• Refrain from alcohol consumption for approximately 24 hours following your injections. Alcohol can increase swelling and bruising, potentially compromising your comfort and results.
• Avoid blood-thinning medications or supplements for 24 to 48 hours, unless otherwise instructed by your provider at Noor Laser Center.
Heat Exposure and Additional Treatments:
• Steer clear of excessive heat, such as saunas, hot baths, or prolonged direct sunlight exposure, for 24 hours after your Dysport injections. Heat exposure may increase blood circulation and lead to swelling or bruising at injection sites.
• Postpone other facial procedures such as chemical peels, microdermabrasion, or laser treatments for at least two weeks after receiving Dysport injections, unless advised differently by your practitioner.
Managing Side Effects and When to Contact Us:
• Should mild bruising, swelling, or tenderness occur, gently applying an ice pack intermittently can help alleviate discomfort.
• If you experience severe swelling, intense pain, or symptoms indicating a potential allergic reaction, please contact Noor Laser Center immediately for prompt assistance.
Your care team at Noor Laser Center will provide personalized aftercare instructions tailored specifically to your treatment and individual needs. Closely adhering to these guidelines ensures the best possible outcome from your Dysport treatment, leaving you refreshed, rejuvenated, and confident in your appearance.
Clients receiving Dysport injections at Noor Laser Center typically experience gradual improvement in facial lines caused by repeated muscle movements, particularly frown lines on the forehead and between the eyebrows.
Initial improvements usually become noticeable within two to three days after your treatment at Noor Laser Center, with optimal results fully visible after approximately one to two weeks. Dysport injections at our center help achieve subtle yet effective wrinkle reduction, offering natural-looking results without significantly altering your natural facial expressions or overall appearance. Many of our clients report enhanced confidence, satisfaction, and an overall rejuvenated look following their treatment.
While individual results may vary, most clients find the results of their Dysport injections last approximately three to four months. Our team encourages regular follow-up appointments and periodic maintenance treatments to sustain the aesthetic improvements you desire.
Although mild temporary side effects such as slight redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising may occasionally occur at the injection sites, these typically resolve within a few days. At Noor Laser Center, our experienced medical professionals provide comprehensive post-treatment care instructions to help maximize results and minimize any potential side effects, ensuring a comfortable and rewarding experience.
