How to Choose a Dysport Specialist

No matter your reasons for seeking relief with Dysport, you should know that you must always search for a medical healthcare professional to administer the actual Dysport injections. For people seeking to temporarily erase frown lines between the eyebrows or on the forehead, a dermatologist or plastic surgeon is typically the best type of medical professional from which to choose. For those seeking relief from the physical discomfort felt from a condition called cervical dystonia, a neurologist is the best healthcare provider from which to choose. The way you choose a Dysport specialist is no different than the way you would choose any other healthcare professional.

Research Dysport   

Read all you can about Dysport injections and gain a good layman's understanding of the procedure, its possible side effects, and the potential length of recovery. Then, reconcile this information with your reasons for seeking this method of treatment. The more you know going in, the better prepared you will be with any questions that only your medical doctor can answer in your specific situation.

Specific Factors to Consider  

When searching for a Dysport specialist, you will want to keep in mind the following:

  • Size of the medical practice
  • Pre-testing procedures
  • Number of years in practical practice
  • Schools attended
  • Beliefs, attitude and tableside manner of the doctor
  • Reputation of the doctor in the community
  • Is the doctor licensed and in good standing

For the elimination of wrinkles on your face, you will want a Dysport specialist who has a comprehensive understanding of facial anatomy. You should seek a dermatologist or plastic surgeon who is highly skilled in the precision that Dysport injections require to obtain optimal results. The skill of your doctor appears directly on your face.  

For relief from the pain of cervical dystonia, you will seek the services of a neurologist who specializes in neuromuscular disorders. The dosing of Dysport for cervical dystonia patients is larger than the dosing of Dysport for those seeking the cosmetic facial treatment, therefore you want to make sure you find a neurologist with an extensive knowledge of this botulinum toxin product.

Get Referrals 

The best place to begin your actual search for a Dysport specialist is by asking your primary medical doctor for referrals. If, by some chance, your doctor is not able to provide referrals, your next best option is to ask your family members, friends or fellow employees for the names of recognized specialists in your area. It is always best if you know of someone who has experienced success with the procedure; you can then feel more comfortable in your choice of specialists.
