COMPLEMENTARY
Dysport provides significant relief from blepharospasm, reducing the frequency and severity of eyelid spasms. Most patients notice improvements within a week, with full effects achieved by two weeks post-treatment. Regular maintenance sessions ensure long-lasting results, allowing you to enjoy improved vision and quality of life.
RESULTS
Recovery from Dysport treatment for blepharospasm is minimal, but it’s important to follow aftercare instructions for the best results:
First 24 Hours: Avoid rubbing the treated areas, lying flat, or engaging in strenuous activity.
1 Week: Dysport begins to take effect, and the frequency and severity of spasms significantly decrease.
Maintenance: Results typically last 3-4 months, after which follow-up treatments are recommended to maintain relief.
Our team will monitor your progress and provide ongoing support to ensure optimal outcomes.
RECOVERY
Blepharospasm treatment with Dysport is a quick and straightforward procedure performed in our Manhattan office. The session typically takes 15-30 minutes.
Here’s what to expect:
Before Treatment: Your provider will evaluate the affected muscles, discuss your goals, and mark the injection sites.
During Treatment: Dysport is injected directly into the overactive muscles causing the spasms. You may feel a mild pinch or slight pressure, but discomfort is minimal.
After Treatment: You’ll receive post-treatment care instructions and can typically return to your normal activities immediately.
The precision and expertise of Dr. Schwarcz ensure effective treatment with minimal discomfort.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Proper preparation ensures a smooth treatment process and optimal results. Key steps include:
Medications: Inform your provider of any medications or supplements you’re taking, especially blood thinners.
Medical History: Share any relevant medical history, including past treatments for blepharospasm or other neurological conditions.
Avoid Alcohol: Refrain from consuming alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment to minimize bruising.
Dr. Schwarcz will provide personalized guidance during your consultation to help you prepare for the procedure.
PLANNING
Dysport may not be suitable for individuals who:
Have a history of severe allergic reactions to botulinum toxin products.
Are pregnant or breastfeeding.
Have active infections or inflammation near the injection sites.
Have uncontrolled neurological conditions that may complicate treatment.
During your consultation, Dr. Schwarcz will assess your condition and determine if Dysport is the best option for you.
NOT CANDIDATES
You may be an excellent candidate for Dysport treatment for blepharospasm if you:
Experience frequent, involuntary eyelid spasms that affect your vision or daily activities.
Have been diagnosed with primary or secondary blepharospasm.
Are seeking a non-surgical solution for symptom relief.
Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations.
This treatment is ideal for patients who want effective, long-lasting relief from blepharospasm.
CANDIDATES
Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that works by temporarily relaxing the overactive muscles causing involuntary eyelid spasms. The botulinum toxin in Dysport blocks nerve signals to the affected muscles, reducing the frequency and severity of spasms.
This treatment is commonly used for:
Primary blepharospasm (essential blepharospasm)
Secondary blepharospasm caused by other neurological conditions
The procedure is minimally invasive, providing quick relief with minimal discomfort and downtime.
THE PROCEDURE
