Facial wrinkles and fine lines are a natural part of aging, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with them. Dysport® injections offer a fast-acting, non-surgical solution to smooth dynamic wrinkles–those formed from repeated facial expressions such as frowning, smiling, or squinting.
At her oculoplastic practice, Dr. Melanie Ho Erb expertly administers Dysport injections to help patients in Irvine, Orange County, and Los Angeles achieve smoother, refreshed, and natural-looking results without surgery.
I’ve been a patient of Dr. Erb for over 10 years now and she’s been amazing from day one. I followed her from an old office to her current one in Irvine that’s an hour away from me, that’s how awesome she is.
I get Botox/Dysport for my migraines and anti-aging effects and her placement is perfect. I have also started getting lip fillers as well, and my results are natural and proportionate to my facial features.
She and her staff are always super friendly and welcoming. Getting appointments is easy and she doesn’t have long wait times.
I’ve been to may places over the years, including high end places in Beverly Hills on Rodeo Drive, and Dr. Erb is leagues above my other experiences.
There is really something positive to be said about an actual Doctor/Surgeon placing your botox/fillers as apposed to someone with less training (even if they are technically qualified).I would 100% recommend Dr. Melanie Erb to everyone, and I have. She’s worth the travel time.
What Is Dysport?
Dysport® is an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin made from botulinum toxin type A, similar to Botox®. It works by temporarily relaxing targeted facial muscles, softening wrinkles, and preventing new lines from forming.
Dysport is especially effective at treating:
- Frown lines (glabellar lines or “11 lines”)
- Forehead wrinkles
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Neck bands and chin dimpling
Dysport has been safely used in the U.S. since 2009 and is popular for its natural results and quick onset.
Botox vs Dysport: What’s the Difference?
Although Dysport and Botox are both botulinum toxin-based neurotoxins, there are subtle differences between the two:
- Onset of Results: Dysport tends to work slightly faster. Results may be visible within 2 to 3 days, compared to 3 to 7 days with Botox.
- Spread & Diffusion: Dysport has a thinner consistency and may spread slightly more, making it ideal for treating larger areas like the forehead.
- Unit Measurement: Dysport requires more units than Botox to achieve the same effect, but this does not affect the cost or outcome when properly dosed.
Dr. Erb will help you decide whether Dysport or Botox is better suited for your individual facial anatomy and aesthetic goals.
