World-Class Aesthetic Injections

A master injector with neuromodulators like BOTOX and Dysport, Dr. Deborah Sherman has used BOTOX extensively since 1988 and Dysport since FDA approval in April 2009. Because of her high level of expertise, she has traveled extensively throughout the United States and other countries, including Russia and China, teaching other physicians and nurses advanced aesthetic injection techniques. As an International and National Aesthetic Trainer, she has over twenty years of experience with neuromodulator rejuvenation techniques that create a fresh and natural look. The two nurses on her aesthetic team are also master injectors with many years of experience, and they have educated Vanderbilt physicians-in-training on these techniques.

Trust Your Face to Experts

Dr. Sherman has been a guest on multiple local and national television shows and has written various articles describing techniques for the aging face. She is a sought-after speaker internationally and has received many awards for her extensive knowledge in her field. No two neuromodulators are precisely the same, and Dr. Sherman and Dr. Melson understand the nuances of successfully injecting with Dysport. You can trust your face to Dr. Sherman, Dr. Melson, and their experienced, well-trained nurses.

What is Dysport?

Dysport is an injectable that contains a purified protein that relaxes overactive muscles that create a “number 11” between the brows. At the Sherman Aesthetic Center, we also use Dysport to soften other areas of the face, such as forehead lines and crow's feet. Dysport is not the same as BOTOX but is in the same family of chemical components with a similar mechanism of action. It has been shown to deliver temporary improvements to moderate to severe facial wrinkles.

How does Dysport work?

Dysport is injected directly into the muscles that cause facial wrinkles, temporarily relaxing them. It stops the signal from the nerve to the muscles, ultimately reducing muscle activity and temporarily preventing contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines. Weakening the strength of these muscles will decrease the tension they place on the skin, allowing the wrinkles to flatten out. After treatment, the overlying skin remains smooth with fewer wrinkles. The untreated facial muscles continue to contract normally, leaving your normal facial expression unaffected. The average duration of a Dysport treatment is four months.

What causes wrinkles?

As we age, wrinkles begin to appear as the underlying collagen and elastin fibers break down and wear out. Additionally, wrinkles appear over time due to repeated movements of facial skin through muscles, most commonly around the eyebrows, mouth, and eyes. Dysport can be used to help prevent new wrinkles from appearing by relaxing overactive muscles that cause wrinkles and folds in the skin.

What type of wrinkles does Dysport treat?

Wrinkles are not always age-related. Frown lines are “dynamic”–they happen because of the way a person’s face moves. Because frown lines are created by facial movements such as frowning or squinting, they may develop even in younger adults.

What are the side effects?

While side effects from Dysport are minimal, those reported in the safety package insert include nose and throat irritation, headache, injection site pain, injection site skin reaction, upper respiratory tract infection, eyelid swelling, eyelid drooping, sinus inflammation, and nausea. If you do experience any of these side effects, call to speak to a trained professional at the Sherman Aesthetic Center.

How many Dysport treatments are recommended for optimal results?

At Sherman Aesthetic Center, you will receive a customized facial analysis to determine how many treatments are needed to give you optimal results. However, once the Dysport wears off, it is safe to repeat the Dysport treatment 3-6 months later.

When will I start seeing results?

Full results from a Dysport treatment can be visible as early as one week.

How much recovery time is needed after Dysport injections?

There is no downtime. You can return to your daily activities and apply makeup immediately following Dysport injections.

How much does Dysport cost?

Each patient’s needs are unique, so the cost varies among patients. On average, the cost of Dysport can range from $250-$400, depending on the desired treatment. To receive a more personalized estimate, call our office to schedule a free facial analysis at the Sherman Aesthetic Center to see how much your Dysport treatment will cost.
