Are you considering cosmetic injectables? Whether your goal is to soften facial lines or discuss options that may help with jaw-related muscle tension, the team at Bell Hill Dental can provide professional guidance. Ally, our dentist and certified provider of facial injectables, offers Dysport® treatments in a clinical setting. Here’s what you need to know about Dysport in Dunedin.
What Is Dysport?
Dysport is a prescription medicine containing botulinum toxin type A. It works by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles. This may help soften the appearance of lines that are formed by repeated muscle movement. Some patients also discuss the use of injectable muscle-relaxants as part of a management plan for certain types of jaw muscle tension; individual suitability is assessed during a consultation.
How Dysport Works
When small amounts are placed into specific muscles, the treated muscles may relax over several days. Effects generally develop within 2–7 days and may last around 3–4 months, although results vary between individuals.
Why See a Dentist for Injectable Treatment?
Dentists receive extensive training in facial anatomy and the muscles around the mouth and jaw. This background supports the accurate placement of injectable muscle relaxants. Your dentist can assess your suitability for treatment and discuss expected outcomes and risks.
Your Dysport Consultation at Bell Hill Dental
If you’re considering Dysport, the first step is a consultation with Ally. She will assess your health history, goals and suitability for treatment. If appropriate, she will recommend a personalised plan outlining the areas that may be treated.
Appointments are generally brief, and you may experience mild swelling or bruising at injection sites, which typically resolves quickly.
