The Quick Recovery Guide: What to Expect After Dysport Treatments

Dysport treatments have revolutionized the way we approach anti-aging, offering an effective solution for reducing fine lines and wrinkles with minimal downtime. At Faces DermaMedical, located in Arnprior and Ottawa, ON, our tailored Dysport treatments are designed to meet your unique skincare needs, allowing you to achieve a rejuvenated appearance swiftly. 


Understanding the recovery process is essential for ensuring optimal results and making the most of your treatment. This comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you can expect after a Dysport procedure.


Immediate Post-Treatment Experience: Know What to Expect


Right after your Dysport treatment, you may notice slight redness or swelling in the treated areas. This is entirely normal and usually subsides within a few hours to a day. Some clients also experience mild bruising or tenderness, but these symptoms are temporary. You can resume regular activities almost immediately, as Dysport treatments at Faces DermaMedical are designed with your convenience in mind, so there’s no need to worry about extensive downtime.


For the best results, it’s important to avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours, as this could affect the distribution of the product. Avoid lying flat or bending over for a couple of hours post-treatment, as this might impact the even settling of Dysport.


Tips for Optimal Recovery: Enhance Your Results


1. Avoid Heat Exposure: Steering clear of saunas, hot showers, and intense exercise for the first 24-48 hours can help reduce the risk of swelling and ensure the Dysport remains effective.

2. Stay Sun Safe: While your skin may be more sensitive, it’s crucial to apply a high-SPF sunscreen, especially if you plan to be outdoors shortly after the procedure. Sun protection is always important, but even more so post-treatment to safeguard your skin.

3. Stay Hydrated: Drinking plenty of water aids in maintaining skin elasticity and promoting healing. Hydration is your skin's best friend and can help in achieving longer-lasting results.

4. Gentle Skincare Routine: Opt for gentle, non-abrasive skin care products. Avoid using products with strong active ingredients like retinoids or glycolic acid for a few days to prevent any potential irritation.


When to Expect Results: Enjoy the Transformation


Patience is key with Dysport. While some clients notice improvements within a few days, full results typically appear within a week. This gradual enhancement allows for natural-looking rejuvenation, a hallmark of Dysport treatments. At Faces DermaMedical, our specialists ensure not only that you look refreshed but your results enhance your natural expressiveness.


Follow-up and Maintenance: Sustaining Your Glow


Maintaining the youthful appearance achieved with Dysport involves regular follow-ups. Typically, treatments last for three to four months, depending on individual factors. Our expert team at Faces DermaMedical will craft a personalized treatment plan to keep you looking your best, offering recommendations on when to schedule your next session.


We recommend engaging in an ongoing skincare regimen that complements your Dysport treatment, including products from our exclusive range of medical-grade skincare available at our clinics in Arnprior and Ottawa. This ensures your skin stays nourished and the results are prolonged.


Understanding Individual Variations: Everyone's Journey is Unique


At Faces DermaMedical, we recognize that each client’s skin and needs are unique. Factors such as age, skin type, and lifestyle can influence recovery and results. Our experts are dedicated to providing tailored advice and tweaking your treatment plan as necessary to meet your evolving needs. Whether it’s through Dysport or other advanced skin therapies, our mission is to guide you on your journey to optimal skin health.
