AFTERCARE
You may have bruises in the areas treated with Dysport. This is normal. It will take up to two weeks for you to experience the full effect of the treatment. Remain patient. It takes time for the muscles to lose strength and the lines to fade following Dysport treatments. Movement of lines diminished is OK. The objective of the Dysport treatment is to improve the appearance of the lines, not necessarily paralyze the muscle. If we can achieve the improvement of the lines without complete paralysis in the area then you benefit from continued use of the subtle facial expression in that area of your face. It is best to try to exercise your treated muscles for 1-2 hours after treatment (e.g. practice frowning, raising your eyebrows, or squinting). This helps to work Dysport Cosmetic into your muscles. Although thought to help, it will NOT impact your treatment negatively if you forget to do this.
Do
NOT rub or
massage the treated areas for 4 hours after your treatment.
Do
NOT practice Yoga or any type of strenuous exercise for 4 hours after treatment.
Also, avoid facials or saunas for 4 hours after your treatment. This will
minimize the risk of raising your blood pressure and therefore minimize the
risk of temporary bruising. Feel free to shower and go about most other regular
daily activities.
Do
NOT lie
down for 4 hours after treatment. This is to avoid the risk of pressure on the
treated areas (from your pillow) and to avoid the risk of having the area
rubbed accidentally.
Be
assured that any tiny bumps or marks will go away within a few hours. If you
need to apply make-up within 4 hours after your treatment, only use a GENTLE
touch to avoid rubbing the treated area.
The results of your treatment may take up to 14 days to take full effect. Please wait until the 14 days have passed before assessing if you are pleased with the result.
Because Dysport Cosmetic requires a special technique in order to customise the injections to your individual muscular structure, it is important that your muscle activity recover, BUT that your skin is not creasing to the point from where you started.
Dysport
Cosmetic is a temporary procedure and at first, you may find that your
treatment results will last approximately 3 or 4 months. If you maintain your
treatment appointments with the frequency recommended by your doctor, the
duration of each treatment result may last longer than 4 months.
Initially, our clinic sees patients between the 3-month (12 weeks) and 4 months (16 weeks) time period. We are able to create the best clinical results for you during this period. If you allow Dysport Cosmetic to wear off completely, it is difficult for the doctor to be able to see how your individual muscles reacted and therefore optimal results for your face can be more difficult to achieve.
