Optimal Skin Care After Dysport Injections

At Pacific Coast Aesthetics, your health and satisfaction are our number one priority. Following your Dysport injections, our team wants to ensure that you achieve the best results possible and minimize potential side effects.
 
We highly recommend refraining from touching, massaging, or applying pressure to the injected areas. This could potentially cause the Dysport to spread to unintended muscles and result in complications. Ensuring the precision of the treatment is crucial, and we want to help you avoid any unwanted effects like drooping eyelids or eyebrows.

Avoid Lying Down or Reclining
For at least 4 hours post-treatment, we advise against lying down or reclining. This precaution helps prevent the Dysport from shifting and affecting other areas.

Avoid Strenuous Activity
At Pacific Coast Aesthetics, we understand that many of our patients lead active lives. However, for at least 24 hours following your Dysport treatment, you should refrain from engaging in any physically demanding activities, such as exercise. These activities increase your blood flow which can cause the Dysport to migrate to other areas.

Avoid Other Facial Treatments
For at least a week after receiving Dysport treatment at Pacific Coast Aesthetics, we recommend abstaining from undergoing any other facial treatments, such as peels, microdermabrasion, or laser treatments. These treatments can cause unnecessary irritation and potentially interfere with the Dysport.

At Pacific Coast Aesthetics, we believe in providing our patients with comprehensive care, which includes guiding them on the best practices for skin care after receiving Dysport injections. Here are some recommended practices to follow:

Stay Hydrated and Moisturize Regularly: Drinking plenty of water helps maintain skin elasticity and promotes quicker recovery post-treatment. Additionally, we recommend applying a fragrance-free, non-comedogenic moisturizer twice daily to keep your skin hydrated and healthy, enhancing the results of your Dysport treatment.

Use Gentle Cleansers: For the first 24-48 hours post-treatment, cleanse your face with a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser. Avoid harsh soaps or products with exfoliating beads.

Avoid Excessive Heat, Exercise, and Sun Exposure: Limit your exposure to excessive sun and heat for the first few days after treatment. This includes tanning beds, hot tubs, saunas, and strenuous exercise, which can cause inflammation and potentially affect your treatment results.

Sleeping and Resting Position: On the first-night post-treatment, we recommend sleeping on your back to avoid putting pressure on the injection sites. This helps to minimize potential swelling or discomfort. If you experience any swelling, elevate your head while resting to reduce fluid accumulation.

Avoid Makeup and Other Skin Products: We recommend not applying makeup or other skin products to the treated area for at least 24 hours after treatment. This can help prevent skin irritation and potential infection.

Report Any Side Effects: Should you notice any unusual symptoms or excessive pain, swelling, or bruising, promptly contact our professional team at Pacific Coast Aesthetics.

Keep in mind that everyone has different skin, so what suits one person could not suit another. Therefore, we at Pacific Coast Aesthetics are always ready to provide personalized advice and guide you throughout your Dysport treatment journey.

At Pacific Coast Aesthetics, we aim to provide our patients with the most comprehensive care and advice regarding their treatments. If you have recently received Dysport injections from our skilled team, it’s essential to maintain certain habits to ensure optimal results from the procedure and to ensure a good night’s sleep. Here are the guidelines to follow post-Dysport injection:

Recommended Sleep Position:
● For at least four hours following your treatment, avoid sleeping or lying down. This helps prevent the Dysport from moving to other areas of your body.
● Sleep with your head propped up on pillows for the first day or two. This can help minimize swelling and allow the Dysport to evenly distribute throughout the treated areas.
● Sleeping on your side or face is not recommended. Back-sleeping can help prevent the injection sites from being disturbed.

Avoid Facial Pressure & Strenuous Activity:
● To maximize the effectiveness of your Dysport treatment from Pacific Coast Aesthetics, avoid sleeping in the treated areas or engaging in strenuous physical activity for the first few days.

Sleep Duration & Quality:
● A full night’s sleep after your Dysport injections from our clinic allows the Dysport to settle and take effect.

Avoid Alcohol, Sleeping Pills & New Medications:
● Alcohol and sleep aids can interfere with Dysport’s effectiveness.
● If you’re experiencing any discomfort after the injections from Pacific Coast Aesthetics, consider taking an over-the-counter pain reliever.

Always consult with our medical team before taking any new medication. Our team at Pacific Coast Aesthetics is here to provide specific instructions based on your needs

At Pacific Coast Aesthetics, we prioritize your skin health and the effectiveness of our treatments. One such treatment we offer is Dysport injections, a non-surgical cosmetic procedure that temporarily weakens specific muscles to smooth out wrinkles and lines. While this treatment is safe and effective, it’s crucial to take certain precautions post-procedure to ensure optimal results and minimize potential side effects.
 
Dysport injections can cause your skin to become more sensitive than usual. If you expose your skin excessively to the sun or engage in activities that increase body temperature after treatment, it can potentially accelerate the breakdown of the product and trigger side effects such as swelling, redness, and discomfort.

Moreover, the ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can damage your skin and reduce the effectiveness of the Dysport treatment. To ensure the longevity of your Dysport treatment, we advise avoiding intense sunlight exposure, especially during the first 24-48 hours post-treatment.
During that time, protect your skin from the sun’s harmful rays by applying a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a high SPF. This is necessary even on cloudy days, as UV radiation can still reach your skin.

While it is not forbidden to go out in the sun after Dysport injections, you must take the appropriate steps to preserve your skin and ensure the success of your therapy.
