A. Dysport will not interfere with the effect of the laser, but the laser might cause temporary swelling that could diffuse the Dysport. I would do Dysport first about 2 weeks before the laser. It might hurt less. Dysport might reduce the release of neurotransmitters that stimulate pain fibers.
Q. I hate my smile. I look like a horse because so much of my gums show. I have nice full lips, but my full smile makes me look like a dumb blonde. Can this be fixed?
A. Yes. You have what is known as the "gummy smile". Because you also have full lips, you are a candidate for a tiny amount of Botox into a certain muscle called the levator superioris labii. This is the muscle that lifts the central upper lip when you smile. It could flatten your lips a tiny bit, so the fact that your lips are already full makes you a better candidate than if your lips were thin and flat. Try it with a board certified dermatologist or plastic surgeon experienced in this tricky injection.
Q. I had Dysport injected for the first time, into my forehead and between my eyebrows, on the 9th of June. I'm due to have a facial on the 20th of June. Can I a)Still have a full facial. b)Have the facial on the areas that aren't treated,i.e. , cheeks, nose, neck and chin. c) Not to have a facial at all?
A. You may have a full facial the next day after Dysport or Botox. Within 90 minutes, the purified protein that makes up Dysport (or Botox) is bound to the neuromuscular junction and cannot be moved or diffused.
