Dysport
As you grow older, the loss of collagen and the overuse of facial muscles lead to deep facial lines and wrinkles. Forehead lines, laugh lines, frown lines, and other such wrinkles make you older, tired, and even upset. However, neuromodulators like Dysport smoothen the wrinkles to make you look more youthful.
Dr. Christopher C. Chang carefully examines your facial skin to recommend the ideal wrinkle relaxers for your unique needs. He’s an exceptionally talented facial plastic surgeon with a keen understanding of the facial anatomy, making him the ideal choice for Dysport in Washington DC & Maryland. Please schedule a consultation to discuss your Dysport treatment options today.
What is Dysport?
Dysport is a cosmetic injectable composed of a neurotoxin protein called abobotulinumtoxinA. When injected into targeted facial regions, it paralyzes certain facial muscles and relaxes the associated wrinkles, such as the horizontal forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. Dysport injectables are temporary treatments, producing results that last for up to 5 months, necessitating regular maintenance injections.
How does Dysport work?
Dysport is a neuromodulator, i.e., a type of cosmetic injectable composed of a neurotoxin protein produced by a bacteria called clostridium botulinum. This neurotoxin protein prevents the nerves from communicating with your muscles, essentially blocking interactions between the brains and muscles. When injected into carefully-chosen locations on your face, Dysport paralyzes targeted facial muscles.
Dynamic wrinkles, such as forehead lines, frown lines, and laugh lines, occur due to the overuse of facial muscles. They appear when you raise your eyebrows, frown, laugh, smile, etc. The overuse of these facial muscles makes wrinkles appear on your skin even when you’re not actively expressing these emotions. By paralyzing the targeted facial muscles, Dysport relaxes the associated dynamic wrinkles.

Who is a good candidate for Dysport?
Dysport is suitable for individuals with mild to moderate fine lines and wrinkles, especially forehead lines, frown lines, and laugh lines. However, you must be at least 18 years of age, physically and mentally healthy, and without a history of neuromuscular diseases, such as multiple sclerosis. Dysport is also inadvisable if you’re pregnant or nursing.
What happens during the Dysport treatment?
Dr. Chang carefully examines your facial wrinkles, reviews your medical history, discusses your goals, and curates the treatment plan accordingly. He chooses the ideal Dysport dose and marks the treatment spots. The treatment is fairly simple — he delivers Dysport into the targeted facial regions with ultrafine needles. The number of injections depends on your goals.
What are the side effects of Dysport?
Dysport is a safe procedure with minimal side effects. You might experience some irritation, redness, and bruising around the treatment sites for a few days, and you’ll have to avoid strenuous workouts for a day or two. However, you can resume most of your daily activities and work as soon as you leave the medical center. There’s no downtime.
What are the Dysport results like?
The Dysport results gradually appear after 2 to 3 days — you’ll notice that your wrinkles gradually start smoothing out. You’ll notice the final results in 2 to 3 weeks. And the results last for 3 to 5 months — the exact longevity varies for each individual. Dr. Chang will help you curate the ideal treatment schedule to maintain the results.

"I have never felt so confident. Dr. Chang completely changed how I saw myself in the mirror. I was terribly self conscious of my nose from my youth and finally decided to go through with the surgery. Not only was it inexpensive compared to the other three doctors I contacted, the before and after pictures of patients were also much better looking than the others! The whole process of surgery and recovery was quick and pretty much painless. I would definitely recommend him to anyone wanting cosmetic surgery. It really made me a happier person." - Catherine M.
"My son was in a terrible accident with most of the bones in his face and skull broken... I don't know what I would have done without Dr Chang!! My son is fully recovered and back to his old self again. I love Dr Chang, he will be in my prayers for the rest of my life. Thank you!" - Elizabeth A.
"I cannot say enough about my surgery with Dr. Chang! I had full facial Rejuvenation including a facelift brow lift and upper eyelids done 4 months ago. I also had a chemical peel to my lower eyelids and mouth. They was barely any pain and I was back to work the next week! I am so thrilled and my friends are so impressed. I cannot say enough about my experience! He is both caring and an amazing surgeon! Thank you so much!" - Cathy W.
The entire experience and outcome was everything I hoped for and I cannot thank Dr. Chang enough! He is a true pro and I recommend 100% without reservation!" - Ashley R.
"I went to Dr. Chang to correct the damage done to my breasts from pregnancy and breastfeeding. He went above and beyond to make me comfortable and to explain exactly what the procedures (lift + implants) would entail. He was extremely responsive and truly understood the look that I was trying to achieve - full, natural for my frame, and with minimal scarring. I'm only two days out from surgery and I'm already loving my results. I am so glad that I chose Dr. Chang to restore my chest to its pre-baby appearance. I actually think they are going to be better than they ever were before I had kids!" - Emily L.
