The Dysport procedure involves a number of tiny injections directly into the facial muscles beneath the skin. The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis, and takes about 15 to 30 minutes to complete. Before your procedure with Dysport, the treatment area may be numbed using a topical anesthetic, to reduce potential discomfort caused by the injections.
Repeated smiling, frowning, and other facial expressions can cause deep lines and wrinkles to form in the skin over time. These so-called “dynamic” wrinkles are difficult to treat, and do not respond to typical wrinkle treatments, such as resurfacing and laser procedures. Dysport was developed to successfully treat these stubborn dynamic wrinkles, resulting in a more relaxed, more energized appearance.
Dysport’s primary agent, botulinum toxin A, blocks the nerve signals which “tell” facial muscles to move and contract during facial expression. Because these muscles do not contract, the lines and wrinkles do not form.
Most men and women notice initial results immediately after the procedure, but full results will not be evident for several days, as the solution takes effect in the muscle tissue. You may also have some slight redness and swelling following the injections which will resolve soon after the procedure. The cost of your Dysport procedure will be based on the number of injections required for your specific treatment, but generally ranges a few hundred dollars fo each injection site.
About Body Oasis Laser - Vein SpecialtiesBody Oasis Laser Cosmetic Solutions was founded in January of 2005 to expand upon her laser expertise by providing laser hair and tattoo removal and Active FX laser resurfacing for acne scars and photodamaged skin. In addition, Body Oasis offers a full line of spa treatments including massage and nail care, with a vision toward proper nutrition and care of the skin.
From the outset, the Southwest Skin & Cancer Institute has strived to provide the utmost in quality dermatology care to residents of the Tri-City Area in Northern Arizona. The Institute has treated over 5000 patients since its inception. In addition, Dr. Fleck has participated in double-blind scientific studies of acne drug evaluations, has written articles for trade and scientific journals, has implemented a widely-acclaimed program of inexpensive treatments for nursing home residents, and a non-profit foundation to assist young people to afford laser therapy for their skin problems. She also volunteers her time at many community health fairs and is a frequent lecturer at service organizations, local colleges and hospitals.
The origin of Body Oasis began with a vision of educating clients about the science of proper skin care. Instead of instinctively following the cosmetic industry, clients are now enlightened about the function of the stratum corneum as a protective barrier to ultraviolet light and environmental free radicals. They are taught to nurture this layer with multivitamin treatments rather than to remove it with harsh abrasive or exfoliative methods. Patients are ecstatic with the results ... in just a few weeks, they witness the changes in their own skin after years of neglect.
In early 2007, Dr. Fleck, after extensive training, began to treat varicose veins using an endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) technique. This procedure, unlike the former treatment of vein stripping and ligation, has reduced morbidity and downtime and has allowed many patients to experience relief of daily pain and get back to enjoying life. After performing over 1000 vein procedures, Dr. Fleck is the most experienced practitioner of EVLA in Northern Arizona. Implementation of this procedure has led to demand for Dr. Fleck to develop a full-service vein clinic, Vein Specialties, which opened in July of 2008. Services also include a highly-effective European technique for treatment of spider veins.
Southwest Skin & Cancer Institute, Vein Specialties, and Body Oasis Laser Cosmetic Solutions strive to use the ultimate in scientific knowledge to focus on the treatment of skin problems and the aging process. As a scientist with board certification in two specialties, Dr. Fleck is well equipped to sort out the industry hype from the important data that can change the way you look and feel.
