Dysport
For natural-looking, subtle results for fine lines and wrinkles

At Brix Wellness, we use best-in-class Neuromodulators to help our patients reduce and prevent facial wrinkles like frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead lines. They delivers predictable, subtle results, so you look like you. It’s a quick treatment with minimal down-time.
What are Neuromodulators?
Neuromodulators or Neurotox treatments are used to improve the appearance of facial fine lines and wrinkles. "Tox" works on the targeted facial muscle to intentionally produce a weakness or temporary paralysis of that muscle. This results in the relaxation of the targeted muscle, which in turn lessens the appearance of wrinkles and improves the contour of the face. Cosmetic Botox, Dysport, and others, are Health Canada-approved for the glabella (frown lines or 11's), frontalis (forehead wrinkles) and peri-orbital (crow's feet) regions of the face and injection into other areas is considered off-label use.
What is Dysport?
Dysport is a proven prescription injection that helps smoothen the appearance of moderate to severe facial lines and wrinkles without affecting or changing the look or movement of the rest of your face. Unlike other neuromodulators that can create a "frozen look," Dysport will allow you to continue to naturally express your feelings. What will disappear are the lines, not your expressions.
​
How Long Does It Take to See Results?
Neuromodulators start to take effect at day 4-5; although patients report Dysport tends to work more quickly, usually within 2-3 days. The full effect is seen after the 14-day mark. That being said, if you are planning to look your very best for an event, make sure to have your scheduled treatment at least two weeks in advance, giving yourself enough recovery time.
​
How Long Does It Last?
Not only a fast-acting treatment, but Dysport is also long-lasting. One treatment can last anywhere between three to six months. After that, you'll begin to see motion and changes in the treated areas again. Once the effects start to fade, regular touch-up treatments may be done to maintain continued results.
​​​​
How Long Does One Treatment Take?
Treatments usually only take about 10 to 20 minutes. While the actual time differs from case to case and depends greatly on the treatment details, patients usually start and finish the treatment within a half-hour to an hour at most with no downtime.
​
Is It Painful?
Usually, cosmetic neuromodulator injections have minimal after-effects, and in most instances, the procedure is not very painful. Short-lived swelling and redness after the treatment resolves very quickly. Dysport treatments have been used for years in relaxing facial wrinkles, and their safety and efficacy have been proven in studies and patients worldwide.
