Smooth away fine lines and wrinkles with Dysport®, a highly effective neuromodulator that relaxes facial muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. Ideal for treating crow’s feet, frown lines, forehead lines, and bunny lines, Dysport offers a natural-looking rejuvenation, helping you achieve and maintain a refreshed and youthful appearance.
Overview
Dysport is a prescription injection used to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe facial wrinkles. As a neuromodulator, Dysport works by relaxing the underlying muscles that cause dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, forehead lines, and bunny lines. This allows the skin to smooth out, reducing the appearance of wrinkles and providing a more youthful look. Dysport is known for its fast onset and natural-looking results, making it a popular choice for subtle yet effective facial rejuvenation.
Concerns Treated:
- Moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Horizontal forehead lines
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Lip lines (smoker’s lines) around the mouth
- Chin dimpling (orange peel effect)
- Neck bands (platysmal bands)
How It Works
Dysport contains botulinum toxin type A, which temporarily inhibits the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contraction. By blocking this signal, Dysport reduces the activity of targeted facial muscles, leading to a relaxation of the overlying skin. This process diminishes the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movements, such as frowning or squinting. As a result, the skin appears smoother and more youthful without affecting your natural facial expressions.
Benefits:
- Fast onset of results, typically within 2-3 days

- Spreads evenly, making it ideal for treating larger areas
- Long-lasting effects, usually 3-4 months
- Requires minimal downtime and involves a quick recovery
- Ideal for patients seeking subtle, refined facial rejuvenation

Your Experience
Treatment
During your Dysport treatment, our aesthetic provider will first assess the areas of concern on your face. They will then use a fine needle to administer small injections of Dysport into specific facial muscles. The procedure is typically quick, lasting about 10-20 minutes, and involves minimal discomfort. You may feel a slight pinch with each injection, but overall, the process is simple and fits easily into your day.
Recovery
After your Dysport treatment, you may experience mild side effects like redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects are generally temporary and should subside within a few days. There’s no downtime, so you can return to your normal activities immediately. Some people experience slight headaches or tenderness, but these are typically short-lived. For optimal results, avoid direct sunlight and strenuous workouts for a day or two.
Results
You can expect to see the results of your Dysport® treatment within 2-3 days after the procedure, with the full effects typically visible within a week. The results usually last 3-4 months, depending on your individual response and the area treated. To maintain your refreshed look, treatments are generally recommended every 3-4 months. Your provider will work with you to determine the ideal frequency based on your needs and goals.
