Dysport®

What is Dysport®?

Dysport® is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles. Similar to BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport® is made from a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, but with a slightly different formulation that may work faster and spread more easily in larger areas.

Dysport® is particularly effective for treating moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines), while still allowing natural facial expressions. Many patients choose Dysport® for its quick onset and natural-looking results.

How Dysport® Works

Dysport® works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles where it's injected, reducing muscle activity that causes wrinkles. When the treated muscles are relaxed, the skin above them becomes smoother, creating a more youthful appearance.

The treatment is quick, typically taking only 10-20 minutes, and requires no downtime. Many patients notice results within 2-3 days, which is often faster than other neurotoxins. The effects of Dysport® typically last 3-4 months, after which the treatment can be repeated to maintain results.

Treatment Areas

Glabellar Lines (Frown Lines)

Dysport® is FDA-approved specifically for treating the vertical lines that form between the eyebrows when frowning. These lines can make you appear angry, tired, or older than you feel.

Forehead Lines

Horizontal lines across the forehead can be effectively treated with Dysport®, resulting in a smoother appearance while maintaining natural movement.

Crow's Feet

The fine lines that extend from the corners of the eyes can be softened with Dysport®, giving the eye area a more refreshed and youthful look.

Other Applications

Dysport® can also be used for treating bunny lines on the nose, neck bands, and for a non-surgical brow lift. Our practitioners can determine if Dysport® is appropriate for your specific concerns.

What to Expect

During your consultation, our expert practitioners will assess your facial anatomy and discuss your aesthetic goals to create a personalized treatment plan. The actual Dysport® procedure is quick and involves minimal discomfort.

After the treatment, you may experience slight redness or swelling at the injection sites, but this typically resolves within a few hours. You can resume most normal activities immediately, though we recommend avoiding strenuous exercise, alcohol, and lying down for 4 hours after treatment.

Results develop gradually, with many patients noticing improvement within 2-3 days and full effects visible within a week. To maintain your results, we recommend follow-up treatments every 3-4 months.
