Edmond, OK Botox

As you age, your face develops creases and wrinkles. For a non-surgical way to reverse some aging effects, many people turn to Botox. Similar to Botox, Dysport erases wrinkles and smoothes skin for improved facial aesthetics. For his patients’ treatment, Dr. Jerome Cha chooses Dysport, which takes effect more quickly than Botox for even faster facial rejuvenation results.

Dr. Cha is an accredited cosmetic dentist who has taken specialized post-graduate education in facial aesthetics. As a dentist, he understands the facial muscle and bone structure. His post-graduate training plus years of experience in providing aesthetic dentistry services help him understand how to improve smiles and faces.

What is Dysport?

Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) is a fast-acting and long-lasting muscle relaxant. This FDA-approved injectable relaxes the muscles in your face to erase lines and creases. It treats dynamic wrinkles — wrinkles that form from facial movement — between the eyebrows. This means no more frown lines!

Botox vs. Dysport

Both Dysport and Botox provide these benefits to patients:

• Quick, non-surgical treatment
• Minimal downtime
• Lasting results
• Improved skin quality

One advantage of Dysport over Botox is that it produces results more quickly. Dysport usually takes effect in just a couple of days, whereas Botox can take a week or longer. The duration is also different. Results with Dysport last three to four months, which for some patients is longer than the results they get with Botox. For these reasons, Dr. Cha chooses to provide Dysport treatment to his patients.

Our Process

Before treatment, you will consult with Dr. Cha to discuss your aesthetic goals. He will also review your medical and prescription histories to ensure you qualify for this treatment.

During the Dysport procedure, you can expect these steps:

• Cleanse your face
• Numb and mark the injection areas
• Use a thin needle to inject a small amount of Dysport beneath your skin quickly
• Cleanse your skin

Dysport treatment usually takes less than 15 minutes. Most people see results in two to three days, and the effects last three to four months. You can repeat the treatment as necessary.

Aftercare

We will provide instructions on how to care for your skin after Dysport treatment. Follow these tips for quick and comfortable healing:

• Avoid putting pressure on your face. When lying down, avoid pressing your cheek on the pillow.
• Use a cold compress. After Dysport treatment, side effects, including swelling or redness, are normal. We recommend applying a cold compress (ice pack) for fifteen minutes at a time.
• Keep your head elevated. Sleeping with your head elevated will increase blood flow to reduce swelling and inflammation.
• Avoid exercise for 24 hours. Avoid strenuous activities like heavy lifting and exercise for one to two days. Your injections can move from their positions.
• Stay hydrated. Drinking lots of water after Dysport treatment keeps your skin hydrated.
