Dysport
Am I a candidate?Even if you avoid direct sun exposure and regularly care for your skin, wrinkles and fine lines are a natural part of our skin’s life cycle and are bound to show up eventually. For years, the only option for treating sagging and wrinkled skin was going under the knife for a facelift. Today, we provide Dysport® in Hopkinsville to offer our clients a tasteful, non-surgical way to restore youth and minimize the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, creases, and folds that have appeared from years of smiling, squinting, frowning, or yawning.
Dysport is made of a purified protein that is FDA-approved to temporarily relax the facial muscles that contract and cause wrinkles when you smile, squint, frown, or make other facial expressions. As these muscles relax, the appearance of facial lines and wrinkles is significantly reduced, and new creases are prevented from forming. If you are ready to look in the mirror and see smooth skin with a youthful glow, come to our med spa for Dysport in Hopkinsville!

The Dysport Process
What to Expect?
Consultation
When you come to Prime Aesthetics for Dysport in Hopkinsville, your trained injection specialist will first provide a free consultation to ensure you are an ideal candidate for injections and to discuss your goals to provide a recommendation for which injectable will best meet your needs. During your personalized consultation, we will thoroughly educate you on the benefits and risks of Dysport. We will also take photos of your treatment area(s).
Get Your Injections
We will then study your facial expressions and make light marks with a pen to indicate precisely where we will be making the injections. Since we utilize thin, tiny needles, most patients report feeling minimal to no discomfort. We can, however, provide topical anesthetic as necessary to ensure your comfort. After a 10 to 15-minute injection process, you will be able to leave our Hopkinsville office and continue your normal activities, we just ask that you stay out of the sun without protection and you keep your head upright for 4 hours.
Next Steps
We will assess the treated area to ensure proper placement of the Dysport. We’ll answer every question you have about the treatment and give you instructions on the best ways to maintain your results. Then, we welcome you to schedule any follow-up appointments you need.
Before receiving your Dysport injections in Hopkinsville from Prime Aesthetics, we recommend you:
- Avoid aspirin (e.g. Bayer, Excedrin) and other blood-thinning medications (e.g. Vitamin E, Fish Oil) for at least 10 days before injections. If you are taking this medication under your doctor’s direction, be sure to speak with them for permission before discontinuing it.
- Avoid ibuprofen (e.g. Advil, Motrin) for 3 days before injections. Note: if you’re concerned about pain or bruising, you can take Tylenol before your appointment.
- Avoid alcohol for 2 days before injections as this can also thin the blood and cause bruising during treatment.
- Discontinue the use of retinoid (Vitamin A) products for 2 days before & after treatment.
- Consider a zinc supplement in the weeks leading up to your Dysport injections. Studies have shown that higher levels of zinc in the body are related to the higher efficacy of Dysport and other injectables.
- Make sure your skin is hydrated by drinking adequate water and using moisturizer morning and night.
To properly care for and get the most out of your Dysport in Hopkinsville, we recommend following up your injections with:
- No touching or massaging the injection site to avoid moving the material to a spot it wasn’t intended to be.
- Keep your head upright.
- Avoid direct sun exposure and use sunscreen when outside, as UV rays can disperse the injectable faster in your skin, making the effects shorter (not to mention the acceleration of aging by the sun!).
- Avoid scrubs, toners, and abrasive cleansers for at least a week to ensure you do not disrupt the precisely-applied Botox.
- Sleep face up and slightly elevated if you experience swelling.
- Avoid strenuous activity or aerobics for 24 hours after your injections.
Frequently Asked Questions
When will I see results for Dysport in Hopkinsville?
You may begin to notice results within 24 to 48 hours after your injections.
How long do the results last?
The results of Dysport generally last up to 4 months, depending on the patient's skin type and the depth & severity of their lines.
How much time does it take to receive a Dysport injection?
The Dysport injection process is quick. Once your consultation has been completed and we've devised a "game plan" for how to treat your wrinkles, the injection process takes only about 10 minutes.
Will my face look overdone or unnatural?
The experts at Prime Aesthetics have years of experience performing Dysport injections. You can trust that we will deliver subtle, natural results from a highly trained and experienced medical expert in facial anatomy. No one should be able to tell you've had any "work" done.
How many Dysport injections should I get?
The number of injections you get will depend on the severity of your lines and the number of lines you have. Generally, for crow's feet, we suggest 3 injections into the areas of the muscle that frame the side of each eye. For frown lines, you may receive up to 5 injections into the muscles between your brows and your forehead. For forehead lines specifically, you may receive up to 5 injections into the muscle.
Do men get Dysport treatments?
Absolutely! Dysport for men is common at our practice. Crow's feet, forehead lines, and frown lines are not exclusively an area of concern for women. Men get these wrinkles too, and may wish to look younger and appear more refreshed.
