At Bell Hill Dental in Dunedin, we believe confidence isn't just skin deep; it's a feeling that comes from truly loving what you see in the mirror. If you've chosen Dysport to smooth away lines and refresh your natural beauty, you're already on your way to a softer, more youthful glow.
But the journey doesn’t end at your appointment. To help you get the most stunning, long-lasting results, we’ll guide you every step of the way with gentle, expert aftercare tips designed to support your transformation.
Understanding Dysport and How It Works
Dysport is a prescription cosmetic injectable that reduces the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles. It’s a form of botulinum toxin type A, the same active ingredient in BOTOX®. However, Dysport can spread more evenly, making it ideal for treating larger areas.
It targets the muscles under your skin and blocks the signals between your nerves and muscles. Once the muscles relax, your skin looks smoother.
Essential Aftercare Tips for Maximising Your Results
There are some things we’ll recommend to maximise your Dysport results. It’s important to follow these aftercare tips:
- Avoid touching or rubbing the treated area.
- After you get home, stay upright for a few hours.
- It’s best not to exercise strenuously or drink alcohol for 24 hours.
- You shouldn’t expose yourself to excessive heat.
- Treat your skin gently when you wash your face.
Maintaining Long-Term Results
In addition to following the immediate aftercare tips, here’s what you can do to keep your skin looking its best for as long as possible:
- Hydrate your skin and body — Use a good moisturiser with anti-aging properties and drink plenty of water to keep your skin supple and maintain elasticity. Avoid alcohol as it can dehydrate your skin.
- Avoid smoking — Smoking can break down collagen and shorten your results.
- Manage stress — When your body is stressed, it can cause tension, counteracting your results.
- Arrange for touch-ups — It’s best to arrange a maintenance treatment after a few months. Regular touch-ups can train your muscles to stay relaxed for more extended periods.
