A tiny needle is used to inject Dysport into the designated areas. It causes a slight sting that is well-tolerated, and the injections themselves take no more than a few minutes. Dr. Velargo and Dr. Hendrick are believers in cool compress anesthesia, as well as acupressure techniques to make the injections as comfortable as possible.
If you wish, we will be happy to apply a topical numbing cream before your injections, though this is rarely needed with Dysport injections. If you do desire the numbing cream, we ask that you arrive approximately 30 minutes before your scheduled appointment so that it can take effect before the procedure. We have a very comfortable and relaxing “Quiet Room” within the clinic for your enjoyment.
After your injections, you can go home or relax in the Quiet Room for as long as you desire.
