What to Expect Before and After Your Dysport Injection

At Regency Medical Spa & Hair Clinic, your safety and satisfaction are our top priorities. Before receiving a Dysport injection, we recommend scheduling a personalized consultation with one of our experienced medical providers, who specialize in neuromodulator treatments like Dysport. Before getting a Dysport injection, consider the following steps:

• Consultation with Provider: Schedule a consultation with a qualified healthcare professional to discuss your medical history, concerns, and expectations.

• Avoid Blood Thinners: Discontinue the use of blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, at least 1 week before the procedure to reduce the risk of bruising.

• No Alcohol: Avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours before the treatment, as it can increase the likelihood of bruising.

• Discuss Skin Conditions: Inform your provider about any skin conditions, allergies, or muscle weakness in the treatment area.

• Avoid Facial Treatments: Refrain from facial treatments or massages in the area to be treated in the days leading up to your appointment.

• Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water before your appointment to help with the treatment’s effectiveness.

• Plan for Recovery: While Dysport typically requires minimal downtime, consider scheduling your treatment when you have a few days free in case of any initial swelling or bruising.

At Regency Medical Spa, our team ensures you’re fully prepared and comfortable with the process, guiding you to help you achieve the best results. a treatment plan tailored to your needs and help you achieve results you’ll love, safely and effectively.

Immediately after a Dysport injection, you may notice some mild swelling, redness, or tenderness at the injection sites. This is a common and temporary reaction that typically resolves within a few hours to a day. Some clients may also experience slight bruising, especially if they’ve recently taken blood-thinning medications or consumed alcohol. These side effects are generally mild and should not interfere with daily activities.

It’s also normal to experience some mild headache or feeling of tightness in the treated area for the first day or two. Dysport typically starts to take effect within 2-3 days, with full results visible in about 7-10 days. During this time, it’s important to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas to prevent the product from spreading to unintended areas. At Regency Medical Spa, our team will provide detailed aftercare instructions and be available for any questions you may have as you begin to see the rejuvenating effects of your treatment.

Most of our clients tolerate Dysport injections very well and are able to return to their regular activities shortly after their visit. Before you leave, your provider will review personalized aftercare instructions with you to support your best outcome.

After a Dysport injection, it is generally safe to apply makeup, but it’s important to wait for at least a few hours before doing so. This allows the treated areas to settle and reduces the risk of irritation or infection. Gently apply makeup using clean brushes or sponges to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas, which could interfere with the placement of the Dysport.

While makeup can be applied, it’s advisable to avoid applying heavy layers of makeup or using products that could clog the skin’s pores, such as thick foundations or powders. It’s best to opt for lightweight, non-comedogenic products to ensure the treated areas heal smoothly and without complications. If you need to apply makeup, use a gentle touch to avoid disturbing the treatment.

At Regency Medical Spa & Hair Clinic, we recognize that minimizing swelling or bruising after Dysport injections is a common concern, and our experienced team is dedicated to guiding your recovery for the best possible results.

To minimize swelling or bruising after a Dysport injection, it’s important to follow a few simple steps. Applying a cold compress to the treated area immediately after the procedure can help reduce swelling and limit bruising. Be gentle when using the compress and avoid direct pressure on the injection sites. Additionally, avoiding blood-thinning medications like aspirin, ibuprofen, and alcohol for a few days before and after your treatment can significantly lower the risk of bruising.

In the days following the injection, try to refrain from vigorous activities or exercise that might increase blood flow to the treated area, as this can worsen swelling. Keeping your head elevated during sleep and avoiding rubbing or massaging the injection sites also helps reduce the chances of bruising or swelling. If you do experience bruising, makeup can help cover it, but it’s best to let it heal naturally.
