Winnipeg Neuromodulator Treatment

Your Trusted Choice for Neuromodulator Treatment in Winnipeg

If you are considering Dysport^® as part of your cosmetic or therapeutic care, the team at Southdale Square Dental Centre is pleased to offer safe, effective, and professionally administered treatments. We use a product called Dysport^®, a neuromodulator similar to Botox^®, but with certain advantages including a quicker onset and a more natural look in specific treatment areas. Our dentists have advanced training in facial anatomy and a deep understanding of muscle function, allowing us to deliver precise Dysport^® injections that are tailored to your individual needs. Whether you are looking to refresh your appearance or find relief from jaw tension and clenching, we are here to support your goals with care and expertise.

What is Dysport®?

Dysport^® is a purified protein derived from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, just like Botox^®. When injected in small amounts, it relaxes targeted muscles by temporarily blocking nerve signals. This effect can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, as well as alleviate certain conditions related to muscle overuse. Dysport^® is known for its ability to spread more evenly, making it a preferred choice in certain treatment areas for a softer, more natural result.

At Southdale Square Dental Centre, Dysport^® is used for both cosmetic and therapeutic purposes.

Cosmetic Treatment

Dysport^® can soften common expression lines and wrinkles by gently relaxing the muscles that contribute to their formation. It is commonly used to address:

• Frown lines between the eyebrows
• Crow’s feet around the eyes
• Forehead lines
• Bunny lines on the nose
• Lines around the mouth
• Gummy smiles and smile asymmetry
• Marionette lines
• Jowls and neck lines
• Prominent jawlines

With our dentists’ expertise in facial balance and structure, we can help you achieve subtle, natural-looking results that enhance your appearance and complement your smile.

Therapeutic Treatment

Dysport^® also offers relief for patients experiencing:

• TMJ (temporomandibular joint) discomfort
• Bruxism (grinding and clenching)
• Headaches and jaw tension

Dysport^® can be injected into the masseter and temporalis muscles to alleviate issues such as clenching and grinding. These muscles are essential for jaw movement but can become overactive and stressed, leading to dental damage and discomfort. By weakening and relaxing these muscles, Dysport^® reduces their forceful contraction, mitigating the impact on teeth and jaws. Dysport^® can be used therapeutically to address complications associated with tight jaw muscles, manage grinding and clenching, and treat chronic headaches and migraines. It can also help prevent damage to teeth, offering patients long-term relief and improved oral health.

What to Expect from Treatment

Dysport^® appointments are quick and minimally invasive. The treatment typically takes 10 to 20 minutes. Your dentist will assess your facial muscle movement and determine the appropriate injection sites. A fine needle is used to administer the Dysport^®, with most patients describing only mild discomfort.

There is little to no downtime. You may return to your daily routine immediately, though we recommend avoiding strenuous activity, lying down, or touching the treated areas for several hours following your appointment. Results often begin to appear within a few days, with full effects visible in about two weeks. The effects typically last three to four months, and follow-up treatments can help maintain your results.
