Dysport® in Anaheim Hills, CA

Dr. Saba Motakef offers Anaheim Hills, CA patients several nonsurgical options for skin rejuvenation. Dysport is an injectable wrinkle relaxer that works like BOTOX® to soften and reduce dynamic wrinkles and lines on the face. Dynamic wrinkles are caused by repetitive facial movements and expressions (like smiling, laughing, and frowning) that over time make the muscles of the face taut. This causes the skin to have furrowed lines that can be seen even when the face is relaxed.

Dysport is specifically formulated to treat one of the most common dynamic wrinkles: the vertical frown lines between the eyebrows. It temporarily relaxes the treated muscle, but with natural-looking results that don't make your face look frozen.

As we age, wrinkles make us look more aged than we should. Dysport treatments at Motakef Plastic Surgery + Med Spa could help our Anaheim Hills, CA individuals in rewinding their feel and their confidence through a number of incredible benefits, including:

• Target fine lines and wrinkles in the skin, especially around the glabellar ("11") lines
• Provide appointments that are short and efficient, with no expected recovery time after treatment
• Build self-esteem and make you feel like your best self
• Appealing, long-lasting outcomes

If you’ve started to notice fine lines forming between your brows or across your forehead, Dysport could be a great option for you. Ideal candidates for Dysport wrinkle relaxers are generally healthy adults who want a smoother, more refreshed appearance without looking overdone. Whether you're new to wrinkle relaxers or simply looking for a treatment that feels a bit lighter and more natural, Dysport may fit your goals. The best way to find out is by scheduling a consultation where we’ll talk about your concerns, look at your facial anatomy, and decide whether Dysport or another treatment is the right approach for you.

Dysport injections at Motakef Plastic Surgery + Med Spa are performed in a private treatment room after your consultation with Dr. Motakef and typically take about 15–30 minutes. Because a fine-gauge needle is used, most patients find the injections very tolerable and don’t need numbing cream or anesthesia, though either can be provided if requested. The treatment area will be cleansed, and five precise Dysport injections will be placed across the eyebrows to smooth dynamic lines. A cold compress may be applied afterward to help reduce any temporary swelling or bruising. Once your Dysport appointment is complete, you can return to your normal daily activities, but it’s best to avoid strenuous exercise for the next 24 hours.

After your Dysport treatment, you can expect to see initial results within 2–3 days, with the full effect typically visible in about a week. The treated area will appear smoother, and the frown lines between your eyebrows will be significantly softened. Your results will look natural, allowing you to still show expression without the deep wrinkles. Dr. Motakef will provide you with specific aftercare instructions, such as avoiding rubbing the treated area and staying upright for a few hours post-treatment to ensure the product settles correctly.

What is the difference between Dysport and BOTOX?

Both Dysport and BOTOX are safe and effective cosmetic injections to improve dynamic wrinkles. That said, Dysport results may become visible faster compared to BOTOX. Additionally, Dysport has longer lasting results because it spreads to a larger coverage area. Dr. Motakef can help you decide whether Dysport or BOTOX is best for your goals.

Should I get Dysport or a wrinkle filler?

Many patients don't understand the difference between wrinkle relaxers like Dysport and wrinkle fillers. Simply put, wrinkle relaxers treat dynamic wrinkles (caused by repetitive movements such as smiling and frowning), whereas a wrinkle filler addresses volume loss. Motakef Plastic Surgery + Med Spa offers a variety of options to address different concerns.

Can Dysport be combined with other treatments?

Yes! Based on your concerns and goals, your personalized treatment plan might include Dysport injections or an injectable wrinkle filler for more comprehensive rejuvenation in Anaheim Hills, CA. We encourage you to be open during your consultation so we can create a treatment plan that provides results you love.

Will my face look unnatural or "frozen" after Dysport?

No, Dysport is designed to produce natural-looking results that soften wrinkles without freezing your facial expressions. The injection relaxes the targeted muscles while still allowing you to smile, frown, and show emotion naturally. Dr. Motakef is skilled in administering Dysport to achieve a refreshed, not frozen, appearance.

Is the Dysport injection process painful?

Most patients report only minimal discomfort during the injection process, often describing it as a quick pinch. A very fine needle is used to administer the treatment, making it well-tolerated. If you have concerns about discomfort, please discuss them with our team during your consultation in Anaheim Hills, CA.

How should I prepare for my Dysport appointment?

To minimize the risk of bruising, Dr. Motakef may advise you to avoid certain medications and supplements like aspirin or fish oil for a few days before your appointment. You should also arrive with clean skin, free of makeup. We will provide you with a complete list of pre-treatment instructions.
