Dysport Treatment at Acqua Blu

At Acqua Blu Medical Spa, injectable treatments are approached with medical precision, aesthetic judgment, and a comprehensive understanding of facial anatomy. Founded and medically directed by Dr. Brian V. Heil, MD, FACS, Acqua Blu applies a plastic surgeon’s decision-making framework to non-surgical care. Each treatment plan is developed under Dr. Heil’s supervision and focuses on how facial muscles interact over time, not just how individual lines appear. If you are considering Dysport in Pittsburgh or Wexford, schedule a consultation with Acqua Blu Medical Spa today for a medically guided facial assessment.

What Is Dysport?

Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator designed to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive facial muscle movement. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to targeted muscles, allowing those muscles to relax so the overlying skin appears smoother and less creased.

Dysport is most commonly used to treat moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, an area where strong muscle activity can create a tense or fatigued appearance over time. Because Dysport is a neuromodulator, it addresses muscle-driven wrinkles rather than volume loss or skin texture concerns, making it distinct from dermal fillers or laser treatments. When properly planned and administered, Dysport softens expression lines while preserving natural facial movement and character.

Why Choose Acqua Blu Medical Spa for Dysport?

Acqua Blu Medical Spa is owned and operated by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Heil, providing a level of medical oversight uncommon in traditional med spa settings. Treatment decisions are informed by surgical training, anatomical expertise, and long-term facial planning rather than trend-driven injection patterns. This approach supports results that are consistent, balanced, and appropriate for each patient’s facial structure.

Your Consultation

Your consultation begins with a detailed evaluation of facial movement, muscle strength, and aesthetic concerns. One of our experienced providers will review your medical history, discuss treatment options, and outline a plan tailored to your anatomy and goals. Recommendations are made with an emphasis on safety, longevity, and facial harmony.

How Much Does It Cost?

Dysport pricing is based on the number of units required to achieve the desired result. Unit needs vary depending on muscle strength, treatment area, and individual facial dynamics. Exact pricing is determined during your consultation following a comprehensive assessment.

What to Expect During Dysport Treatment

Dysport treatments are performed in-office and typically take only a few minutes. Precisely measured amounts are injected into targeted muscles using fine needles. Patients can return to most normal activities the same day, although visible results develop gradually rather than immediately.

Dysport Recovery and Results

There is little to no downtime associated with Dysport. While daily activities may be resumed the same day, results develop over several days as the treated muscles relax. Improvements typically last several months, with duration influenced by muscle activity, dosage, and individual metabolism.

Complementary Treatments to Consider

  • BOTOX: An alternative neuromodulator that may be selected based on muscle pattern and treatment objectives.
  • Dermal fillers: Address volume loss and structural changes that Dysport does not treat.
  • Juvederm: Hyaluronic acid fillers used to support facial contours and deeper folds.
  • Laser skin resurfacing: Improves skin texture and tone to complement muscle-relaxing treatments.
  • Hydrafacial: Enhances overall skin quality and hydration alongside injectable care.

How does Dysport differ from BOTOX?

Dysport and BOTOX are both neuromodulators, but they differ slightly in formulation and diffusion characteristics. These differences can make one option more suitable than the other depending on muscle anatomy and treatment goals.

How long do Dysport results last?

Results typically last several months, though longevity varies based on muscle strength, dosage, and individual metabolism.

Will Dysport affect my ability to make facial expressions?

When administered with proper technique, Dysport relaxes targeted muscles while allowing natural facial movement to remain intact.

Can Dysport be combined with other treatments?

Dysport is often combined with dermal fillers, laser procedures, or skin treatments to address multiple aspects of facial aging.

Is Dysport ever used preventively?

Some patients choose Dysport earlier to help limit the progression of dynamic wrinkles over time.

How far in advance should I schedule treatment before an event?

Scheduling Dysport one to two weeks before an event allows adequate time for results to fully develop.

Is Dysport treatment painful?

Discomfort is typically minimal, as injections are performed quickly using very fine needles.

What happens if I stop receiving Dysport?

If treatments are discontinued, muscle activity gradually returns to its natural baseline.

Is Dysport safe with ongoing use?

Dysport is FDA-approved and considered safe when administered by trained medical professionals following established medical guidelines.
