Dysport is a popular treatment for smoothing wrinkles and fine lines, offering a refreshed, youthful appearance with minimal downtime. At Bridgeport Laser & Wellness Center, we want you to get the best possible results from your Dysport injections. Following proper aftercare is essential to maximize effectiveness and maintain your glowing new look.
Here are the top five practices you should follow after your Dysport treatment:
After your Dysport treatment, it’s important to avoid touching or rubbing the treated areas for at least 24 hours. This helps prevent the product from spreading to unintended muscles, which could affect your results. Additionally, refrain from lying down or bending over for the first few hours to ensure the Dysport stays where it’s meant to be.
While Dysport requires minimal downtime, it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, or any activity that increases blood flow to your face for at least 24 hours post-treatment. Increased blood circulation can potentially cause the Dysport to migrate, reducing its effectiveness or causing unwanted side effects. After this initial period, you can resume your regular activities comfortably.
Applying a cold compress to the treated area immediately after injections can help reduce swelling and minimize discomfort. Avoid applying heat, such as hot showers, saunas, or steam rooms, for at least 48 hours, as heat may increase swelling or redness. Using ice gently for short periods can speed up recovery and help you feel more comfortable.

Dysport results usually start to appear within 2-5 days after treatment, with full effects visible around two weeks. To maintain your refreshed appearance, schedule follow-up treatments every 3-4 months. Consistency is key, and our team can help design a customized treatment plan to keep your skin looking smooth and youthful over time.
Proper aftercare plays a crucial role in maximizing your Dysport treatment results and ensuring a smooth recovery. At Bridgeport Laser & Wellness Center, we are dedicated to helping you achieve beautiful, natural-looking results tailored to your unique needs.

Do things that help the process in your journey and make you feel good. Love the way you look!
I think you have to do things that maybe help the process in your journey and make you feel good and bring happiness to you and if that means getting a little Botox or getting a microderm you know which is something that you know I’ll walk away and look in the mirror and think oh I love the way I look but then it’s also a balance of being like it’s okay I’ve made it to 53 and I’m healthy and I think that’s where the thoughtful aging comes in versus the anti-aging
I’m 44 I have two kids and I work constantly. I’m traveling and it’s really hard to have consistency in your life. My body isn’t the same after having two kids and even just on a functional level, if I would try to work out, I kept injuring myself, and I wasn’t working from this strong foundation of core or where I should have been and I was getting really discouraged. I wanted to change my life and do something really positive so that I could go into my closet and get dressed feeling good, so that I could eat pasta here and there, so I could drink wine here and there, and just find that elusive balance called 80/20. I’ve certainly known 80/20 in the opposite direction; you realize that being healthy and strong is really important. I wanted to condition my body differently so I could exercise regularly without injury, and then I did a bunch of recon with a lot of women, a lot of who you know some of you don’t, some who are really amazing actresses or athletes, and I was like, I found out all the cool girls were already doing it, and it made me feel really safe about the process. I got really excited as opposed to curious and they’re all doing it. So I was like, well then I want to do it as I had been doing a lot of core work. So I did Emsculpt in tendem, and it completely changed my foundation; it just really changed my life, and I get to go work out with my girlfriends and do dance cardio. I feel better when I’m picking up my kids. I’m just exercising smarter because I’m stronger. I’m not really a champion or into anything invasive and I’m not into aesthetics. I care about athletics and being capable and a strong woman, and I don’t know what exactly that looks like because it’s totally different for every single woman. But for me and my personal life I know the line and I know when I’m feeling good. I know what I’m looking better for me, well I definitely see lines in my stomach where I never have which is a total anomaly for me. I’m just getting to live the life I want to, I look better, I feel better, but I’m working out consistently without landing in a physical therapists office because I’ve overdone it or thrown my back out my car was like a fish tank after kids when women have kids nobody talks about how broken the body is and you’re trying to get back to where you were but you’ll never be in the same clade. So I think people probably do this for a multitude of reasons. I have friends who do Ironman, who do it, me as a mother who couldn’t put her body back together the right way. That was why I did it, I just wanted health and wellness in my life. Some people do it for posture, some people do it for conditioning, some people are hardcore athletes, and want to get even stronger and get that extra boost. All the cool girls are doing it for sure.
I just think the whole phrase thoughtful aging is so beautiful; it’s such a healthier approach but to keep your young youthful skin the best you can. I say this as I think it’s really important, and it makes sense to me, and it makes me feel good. Where again, anti-aging, this makes me feel defeated. Bridgeport laser and wellness is by far the best place to go for thoughtful aging
