DYSPORT® in Indiana

BOTOX® Cosmetic in Indiana is the gold standard in nonsurgical treatment for "dynamic" wrinkles, but now women and men have another choice for smoothing out the signs of aging: DYSPORT®. This new option erases expression-related wrinkles using the same process as BOTOX Cosmetic, but its slightly stronger formulation offers women and men a chance to enjoy faster results and in some cases longer-lasting effects.

DYSPORT vs. BOTOX in Indiana

Both DYSPORT and Indiana BOTOX Cosmetic use botulinum toxin to temporarily block the nerves that tell certain facial muscles to contract. When these muscles relax, your skin can look smoother and firmer, giving your whole face a happier and more rested appearance.

DYSPORT results typically appear within 1 or 2 days rather than the 3 to 5 days typical following BOTOX injections. Partly because DYSPORT is more highly concentrated, it tends to permeate tissues more thoroughly, relaxing muscles and smoothing tissues in a wider area.

DYSPORT can effectively treat:

• Forehead lines
• "Number 11" lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
• Crow's feet

At your consultation, Dr. Galante will assess your needs carefully, explain your options, and answer your questions about the benefits and limitations of each treatment. Together, you will decide whether BOTOX Cosmetic, DYSPORT, or a more permanent option such as a face lift in Indiana offers you the best way to meet your goals.

Your DYSPORT Treatment and Results

Dr. Galante has years of experience and in-depth training in both cosmetic and reconstructive surgery, so you can be confident in his skill to assess and correct the signs of aging. DYSPORT injections typically take under ten minutes to perform, and patients can get back to their day's activities immediately.

A bit of swelling at the treatment site is normal for the first hour after your procedure. Treatment results may last around 4 to 6 months, though some studies indicate that DYSPORT can continue to provide attractive results for even longer, particularly for younger patients. Both BOTOX Cosmetic and DYSPORT may slightly limit facial expression, but Dr. Galante takes care to provide results that look natural. During your consultation, he can explain the steps he takes to ensure that you retain the ability to express yourself.
