Patients requesting Dysport by name in this market usually have a treatment history behind the preference. That history is worth going through properly – product, dose, timing and what they liked – because it makes the new plan more accurate than starting from a blank sheet.
Its practical advantage is speed of onset, typically two to five days. Whether that matters depends on what is in your calendar, and it is a fair reason to choose it when something is.
Other treatments at this office are listed on the Red Bank clinic page; this page stays with dysport.
Dysport is a botulinum toxin type A preparation used mainly for the frown lines between the eyebrows. Its onset is marginally quicker than the alternatives and its dosing scale is its own.

The Red Bank Dysport list overlaps with the Botox list and skews slightly towards forehead treatment, where its diffusion characteristics can suit a broader area.
Patients switching brands after several years of treatment are the other consistent group. Dose is always planned fresh rather than converted, because the unit scales are genuinely different.
Botox at our Red Bank office and Juvederm at our Red Bank office come up frequently in the same appointment. Whether they can be combined safely on one visit is decided clinically, not by preference.
The same treatment is offered in other markets we serve – see Dysport for Highlands patients.

Treatment cost is confirmed at assessment. It varies with the treatment selected, the area being treated, the amount of product needed and whether a course of sessions is involved. Nothing proceeds until you have the figure and are comfortable with it.
Assessment and treatment are carried out by Anita Dormer, MD. Continuity matters in aesthetic medicine – the person who decided on the plan is the person best placed to judge whether it worked.
Background on the practice is on the about the practice page.
Onset is typically two to five days rather than three to seven. Whether that difference matters depends on your timings.
Yes, and many patients do. Dosing is planned from a fresh assessment rather than converted from a previous brand’s unit count.
The effect is temporary and wears off over a period of months. Retreatment timing is agreed at your review appointment rather than fixed in advance.
It is an established botulinum toxin type A product. Long-term use, prior treatment history and any medical conditions are all reviewed as part of the assessment.

An assessment is the sensible first step. Bring the questions you have, including the awkward ones – individual results vary and suitability is confirmed at consultation.
