Dysport Treatment

Overview

As the body ages, repeated facial movements such as frowning, smiling, and squinting causes our skin to obtain creases or fine lines.  Dysport issues a signal block to essentially allow the muscles that cause wrinkles to relax.

At Waccamaw Dermatology, we use Dysport as a cosmetic treatment to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Dysport is commonly used for wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet), between the eyebrows, across the forehead, at the corners of the mouth, and on the chin.

If you are interested in receiving a Dysport treatment, contact Waccamaw Dermatology for a consultation appointment.

How it Works

Dysport is used to treat frown lines between the eyebrows. This injection temporarily reduces specific muscle activity between the eyebrows without affecting the rest of the face.

This treatment provides natural results to enhance the skin’s natural beauty. Patients may see results 2-3 days after treatment and can last up to 5 months.

Dysport is used for patients with moderate to severe glabellar lines only. If you have mild lines you may not qualify for this treatment.

Areas commonly treated include:

Wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet), between the eyebrows, across the forehead, at the corners of the mouth, and on the chin.

Before receiving a Dysport treatment, your dermatologist will evaluate your past and current medical conditions to ensure that you are an eligible candidate. There are several health conditions, such as muscle or nerve conditions, as well as being pregnant, that may disqualify you for treatment. In addition, the dermatologist will review the risks and possible side effects of the treatment.

During the procedure you may experience slight pressure from the injection, but shouldn’t feel major pain or discomfort.

The recovery is quick and requires little downtime. A patient may experience slight side effects.

Botox Treatment

Overview

As we age and our bodies reduce collagen production, repeated movements in the face such as smiling, frowning, and squinting causes our skin to have fine lines and creases. Botox treatment works beneath the surface and temporarily reduces muscle activity to smooth the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes (crow’s feet), between the eyebrows, across the forehead, at the corners of the mouth, and on the chin.

If you are interested in receiving a Botox treatment, contact Waccamaw Dermatology for a consultation appointment.

Facial Fillers

Overview

Facial fillers temporarily treat fine lines and wrinkles with injections into the skin. Some patients experience mild discomfort, bruising, and swelling for up to a week. Once the swelling goes down, a touch-up injection may be needed for best results.

Hyaluronic Acid Wrinkle Fillers

  • Achieve Instant Results with Hyaluronic Acid Fillers. These fillers are temporary dermal fillers designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Hyaluronic acid naturally exists in the skin and is key to retain water for a hydrated complexion.
  • HA fillers can be used in the temples, tear troughs, cheekbones, smile lines, lips, chin, and jawline. Certain fillers work better to build volume and others work better for fine lines.
  • Benefits include collagen production, added volume, smooth texture, decrease in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and last up to a year.
  • What to Expect: Fillers are injected through a needle or cannula. Most fillers are pre-mixed with lidocaine, so the area may get somewhat numb with very little pain during treatment.
  • Chance of redness, swelling, or slight bruising. Drink lots of water, ice the area, and avoid alcohol for at least 24 hours following treatment
  • Synthetic fillers are considered semi-permanent. These fillers may last several years or longer.
  • Used to fill facial wrinkles and folds.
  • Filler procedures and results vary depending on the brand.
  • The Fillers in this category include lab-made substances not related to anything originally found in the skin.
  • Collagen filler is a soft tissue dermal filler derived from purified cow skin.
  • This treatment forms a network of fibers within your skin that acts as framework. As you get older the support structure weakens causing the skin to lose its tone.
