Thinking of Botox? Think Dysport!

Honestly, the thought of botox scares the crap out of me. I heard about a botox product called Dysport and decided I’d “take one for the team” just to see what it was all about.

I made my appointment and met the medical esthetician. She was very thorough in her explanation of the process, products and recommendations. Dysport requires less product and lasts longer. After all the necessary forms were filled out, we got started.

First I decided to tackle the “11’s” (the little creases right between my eye brows). The area was swabbed with alcohol and Dysport injected into the area in about 6 spots. Yep, that hurt like a big bee running into my face with its stinger. The area was swabbed again and that was it. No biggie.

I did experience a slight headache off and on for the next couple days. By day three, I could tell a slight difference. I can still frown and look human, but when relaxed there is a renewed smoothness to the area. It is my understanding that having recurring treatments increases effectiveness.
