Decreasing Wrinkles with Dysport

Choosing between Botox and Dysport comes down to a matter of preference. Both are excellent neuromodulators that work by blocking the signal from the nerves to the muscles that cause wrinkles to form. Dysport’s biggest differences are that results are visible more quickly than with Botox (only 1-3 days to appear while Botox can take up to one week), Dysport is often better for stronger muscles and larger areas, and the way Dysport disperses gives it a more “blended” look with the rest of the face. If you’re unsure whether to choose Botox or Dysport, Chicago’s Beautify at AMS boasts some of the most knowledgeable and experienced aestheticians in the business, and they would be more than happy to help you make an informed decision.

Dysport Treatment Details

When you arrive at our med spa in Chicago, Dysport preparations will include cleansing your skin and applying a topical numbing agent as needed. We use a very fine needle to administer Dysport into the targeted muscles that are causing wrinkles to form. These injections are very tolerable and feel like a small pinch. Treatment time is usually 10-20 minutes.

Schedule A Consultation

Had a great experience at Beautify at AMS… It’s only been a week, but my skin and lines are looking better already. I’d highly recommend this beautiful med spa. Everyone was so friendly. Can’t believe how many services and high-tech machines they have. I personally would refer anyone. Feels like they’re my new guides to the fountain of youth.

What to Expect

Although the majority of patients return to their regular activities immediately after their Dysport treatment, you may experience some common side effects, which include nausea, redness, tenderness, swelling, bruising, inflammation, and/or headache. Results are typically apparent within 1-3 days and last 3-6 months. You can return for a touch-up in 90 days.
