Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable treatment containing abobotulinumtoxinA, used to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines.

How does Dysport work?

Dysport uses a purified botulinum toxin type A to temporarily soften specific muscle groups in the face, reducing repeated movements that contribute to dynamic lines.

What areas can be treated with Dysport?

Dysport is commonly used to treat dynamic lines on the face, including glabellar lines (the “11s”) between the eyebrows.

Dysport is FDA-approved and considered safe when administered by qualified medical professionals.

How long does Dysport last?

Results vary by person, but many patients see improvements that last for several months. Your provider will review what to expect during your consultation.

Is the procedure painful?

Dysport is delivered using a very fine needle and most patients report minimal discomfort during the quick procedure.

What are the potential side effects of Dysport?

Side effects can include temporary redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site. Your provider will review risks and aftercare instructions during your visit.

Who is an ideal candidate for Dysport?

Ideal candidates are looking to reduce the appearance of dynamic lines, such as glabellar lines. A consultation will determine if Dysport is right for your goals.

How long does a Dysport session take?

Sessions are typically brief and performed in-office. Your provider will confirm timing based on your treatment plan.

Can I resume normal activities after Dysport?

Most patients can return to normal activities the same day, but you may be advised to avoid strenuous exercise for about 24 hours.

How much does Dysport cost?

Pricing varies by treatment area and dosage. Your consultation will include personalized pricing information.

Description

What Is Melasma?

Melasma is a common pigmentation disorder that causes symmetrical patches of brown, tan, or gray discoloration on the face most often affecting the cheeks, forehead, upper lip, nose, and chin. It can also appear on the neck and forearms. Melasma is more prevalent in women and individuals with medium to darker skin tones and is triggered or worsened by sun exposure, hormonal changes (including pregnancy, perimenopause, and menopause), and certain medications.

How We Treat Melasma

At Hagen Health & Absolute Aesthetics in Mukilteo, we offer evidence-based melasma treatment plans using:

Customized chemical peels to exfoliate pigmented surface layers and promote cell turnover
Prescription-strength topical therapies (e.g., brightening agents, retinoids, and pigment inhibitors)
Medical-grade skincare regimens to support long-term results
Sun-protection strategies to prevent recurrence and rebound hyperpigmentation

Each treatment plan is tailored to your skin type, pigmentation depth (epidermal vs. dermal), and contributing factors such as hormones or sun exposure. Melasma is a chronic condition, and successful management focuses on gradual improvement, maintenance therapy, and prevention of flare-ups.
