Dysport Treatments

It’s completely natural for fine lines and wrinkles to develop over time. Repeated facial expressions, sun exposure, and the natural ageing process all take their toll, leaving crow’s feet around your eyes, frown lines between your brows, and forehead creases that can make you look tired or older than you feel. You might have tried over-the-counter creams and serums with disappointing results, or feel unsure about which treatments are actually safe and effective.

For many people, the issue goes beyond cosmetics. If you clench your jaw or grind your teeth, you know how debilitating it can be. Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause chronic jaw pain, pressure headaches, facial soreness, and even difficulty eating. You may have tried splints or night guards, but the underlying muscle tension remains.

Whether it’s the visible signs of ageing or the daily discomfort of jaw clenching, these issues can drain your confidence and affect your quality of life. You deserve a solution that is both effective and safe.

At West Harbour Dental, we use Dysport to provide targeted, non-surgical treatments that deliver real, visible results. Dysport is a prescription botulinum toxin type A injection, similar to Botox, that works by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles. This smooths out lines and wrinkles for a refreshed, natural appearance, or relieves the tension in overworked jaw muscles to ease pain and headaches.

Our trained clinicians take the time to understand your goals and tailor every treatment to your unique needs, ensuring beautiful, natural-looking results every time.

Dysport injections are one of the most popular and trusted treatments for smoothing moderate to severe facial lines. The treatment works by temporarily preventing the specific muscle movements that cause frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. The result is smoother, firmer, younger-looking skin that still allows you to express yourself naturally.

Here’s what you can expect from the process:

1. Consultation and Assessment We start with a thorough consultation to understand your concerns and assess your facial structure. Your clinician will discuss which areas would benefit most from treatment and explain what results you can realistically expect.
2. Precise, Targeted Injections Using a very fine needle, your clinician will administer small, precise doses of Dysport into the targeted muscles. The procedure is quick and straightforward, typically taking only 15 to 20 minutes, with minimal discomfort.
3. Visible, Natural Results You will generally begin to notice improvement within two to three days, with the full effect developing over one to two weeks. The results typically last three to four months, and you can return for follow-up treatments to maintain your refreshed look.

If you suffer from TMJ disorders, teeth grinding (bruxism), or chronic jaw clenching, Dysport can provide significant relief. By injecting Dysport into the overworked facial muscles responsible for the tension, we can help relax those muscles, reduce jaw pain, and ease the pressure headaches that often come with it.

This treatment is particularly effective for patients who have tried other approaches, like custom night guards or splints, and are still experiencing discomfort. Many of our patients report a noticeable reduction in pain and tension within just a few days, with the full benefit felt within two weeks. The treatment is quick, comfortable, and can make a real difference to your daily quality of life.

Dysport and Botox are both made from botulinum toxin type A and work in the same way, by blocking the release of acetylcholine to temporarily prevent muscle contractions.

While both are safe and effective, they are different formulations with different dosing. The dose of Dysport is not directly comparable to the dose of Botox, so it’s important that your treatment is administered by a trained professional who understands the specific characteristics of each product.

At West Harbour Dental, our clinicians have extensive experience with Dysport and will ensure your treatment is tailored for the best possible outcome.
