What to Expect from the Dysport Experience

Dysport treatments offer a gentler way of eliminating moderate to severe frown lines between your eyebrows, forehead, or crows feet. Easing these wrinkles can restore the youthfulness of your face and provide you with a more energized appearance.

• Definition

Dysport is made of a special protein. It works by temporarily inhibiting the actions of the muscles that cause wrinkles in order to create a smoother, more youthful appearance of the face. Muscles that are not treated will still function as usual. Dysport is an excellent option for people who cannot seem to eliminate wrinkles despite eating healthy, exercising, and using moisturizing creams regularly. 

• Preparation

The preparation needed for Dysport injections isn’t as extensive. During your consultation, you should discuss your goals for your facial appearance and ask your healthcare provider any questions you have about Dysport. You should also disclose your full medical history, including whether you have any medical conditions or if you take any medications or supplements.

• Procedure

The entire procedure for Dysport lasts just 5 minutes. The healthcare provider injects Dysport into different areas. Local anesthesia is not required for this procedure because there is minimal discomfort. Dysport injections act quicker than Botox, so you should see your desired results for your face within one to two days. These quick results make Dysport an ideal treatment for those who are preparing for a special social event.

Blackhawk Plastic Surgery proudly offers Dysport injections, in addition to Botox and dermal fillers. Please give us a call at (925) 272-4855 to schedule your consultation. Ask us about our other services, including breast augmentation, liposuction, rhinoplasty, and face lifts.

Laser Genesis: Non-Invasive Skin Rejuvenation

Many people who undergo plastic surgery procedures like tummy tucks or face lifts also choose to have complementary procedures, such as photorejuvenation. Others choose photorejuvenation as a stand-alone procedure. Either way, the skin shows dramatic improvement afterward. If you’re interested in restoring your glow, consult a medical spa professional about the Laser Genesis photorejuvenation procedure. This non-invasive skin care treatment works by transferring gentle heat to the deep layers of skin to promote a vibrant appearance on the face and other areas.

• Benefits

Photorejuvenation with Laser Genesis offers several of the benefits of a face lift, including a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Many people choose Laser Genesis for its ability to reduce the appearance of large pores and scars. It’s also ideal for those with rosacea or diffuse redness, because it decreases the appearance of dilated capillaries on the treated skin. After the procedure, you’ll be sure to notice an improvement in your skin’s texture and tone.

• Target Areas

Laser Genesis is ideal for nearly any area of the body except for the eyelids. It is most commonly performed on the face, neck, and chest. Some people also choose to have it done on their hands.

• Preparation

Very little preparation is required for Laser Genesis. Depending on the target area, you might need to shave the skin. Avoid excessive sunlight exposure and self-tanning products for at least two weeks prior to your treatment. Remember to inform the healthcare provider of any medications you take, particularly topical medications. It’s also best to avoid exfoliating the skin for three days prior to the treatment.

• Treatments

The procedure itself is painless and there is no downtime required afterward. Most people generally find that four to six treatments are all that is necessary to achieve the desired results.
