Dysport and Jeuveau

What Dysport and Jeuveau are

Dysport and Jeuveau are neuromodulators. They interrupt the signal from the nerve to the muscle at very specific points, so the muscle still works, just with less force. With repeated over-contraction reduced, the skin above is no longer pulled into a deep fold every time you move, and your expression remains your own.

At Lesh Lifestyle they are used on the upper-face expression lines that have started to stay visible even when your face is at rest.

• Frown lines between the brows

• Forehead lines

• Crow's feet

• Bunny lines on the nose

Aftercare and activity

You might see tiny raised bumps at the injection sites, and mild redness is common. Both usually settle in a short time, and most people go straight back to their normal day.

There is no bandaging after your visit. Makeup can usually go on later that day, and heavy exercise is usually avoided for a few hours.

When to expect results

Lines usually start to soften within the first several days, with the full effect appearing after that initial period.

Results last for a season, then gradually wear off as muscle activity returns. Some patients schedule visits a few times a year.

Who it's for

These treatments suit movement lines, the creases that deepen when you frown, squint or raise your brows and are starting to stay visible at rest.

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, certain neuromuscular disorders, or previous serious reactions rule these treatments out. Dr. Sarah reviews your medical history with you first, and if another route such as PRF or microneedling serves your skin better, she says so.
