Neuromodulators

  • How long does Dysport take to work?

    Lines start to soften in 2 to 3 days. The full result of Dysport shows at about two weeks, when you come back for your check.

  • How long does Dysport last?

    Dysport lasts 3 to 4 months on average. A lip flip wears off sooner, in 2 to 3 months. Metabolism and exercise also change how long.

  • Will Dysport make my face look frozen?

    Not when it is dosed and placed for your face. At SoulShine the aim is softer lines with your expressions intact.

  • Does Dysport hurt?

    Most people describe a small pinch. The needles are very fine, each area takes a few minutes, and ice is available.

  • What is a Nefertiti lift?

    Dysport placed along the neck bands and jawline to relax the neck muscle, so the bands soften and the jawline looks clearer. At SoulShine it is $250.

  • Does SoulShine offer Botox?

    No. SoulShine Aesthetics uses Dysport for every area. It relaxes the same muscles as Botox, is FDA-approved for frown lines and lasts about 3 to 4 months.

  • Is Dysport the same as Botox?

    They are both botulinum toxin type A and work the same way. They are different products, measured in units that cannot be compared or converted. SoulShine uses Dysport.

Important Safety Information

Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription injection approved for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows in adults under 65. The other areas treated at SoulShine Aesthetics are off-label uses.

Distant spread of toxin effect. The effects of Dysport and all botulinum toxin products may spread from the injection area to other parts of the body, hours to weeks after injection. Symptoms can include loss of strength, muscle weakness, double or blurred vision, drooping eyelids, trouble swallowing or speaking, loss of bladder control and trouble breathing. Swallowing and breathing problems can be life threatening, and there have been reports of death. Get medical help right away if you have any of these symptoms.

Do not have Dysport if you are allergic to any botulinum toxin product or its ingredients, are allergic to cow’s milk protein, or have an infection where it would be injected. Dysport is not recommended during pregnancy or for children.

Units of Dysport cannot be compared with or converted into units of any other botulinum toxin product.

Tell your injector about all the medicines you take, especially antibiotics given by injection, muscle relaxants and allergy, cold or sleep medicines, about any other botulinum toxin treatment you have had, and about any muscle or nerve condition.

The most common side effects include nose and throat irritation, headache, pain or a reaction at the injection site, upper respiratory infection, eyelid swelling or drooping, sinus inflammation and nausea. Dry eye can occur after treatment of frown lines.

You are encouraged to report side effects of prescription drugs to the FDA at www.fda.gov/medwatch or 1-800-FDA-1088.
