What Is Dysport?

Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable that relaxes facial muscles responsible for expression lines and wrinkles. It works by temporarily blocking the signals that cause muscles to contract, smoothing forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, and crow's feet. When used preventively, Dysport may help slow the formation of new lines. The procedure takes 10 to 15 minutes with no recovery time, making it convenient for busy schedules.

Am I a Good Candidate for Dysport?

Good candidates for Dysport have moderate to severe expression lines or want to prevent new ones from forming. Dysport softens lines; it does not erase them completely. You are not a candidate if you are pregnant, nursing, have a neuromuscular disorder, or are allergic to any ingredient in Dysport. Our team will review your medical history during your consultation to confirm Dysport is safe for you.

What to Expect During Your Dysport Treatment


Before Your Appointment

Avoid blood thinners, alcohol, and strenuous exercise for 24 hours to minimize bruising. We'll cleanse the treatment area and apply numbing cream or ice if needed. Your appointment takes less than 15 minutes.

During Treatment

Our specialist uses a fine needle to inject Dysport into the targeted facial muscles. You may feel a slight pinch; most patients tolerate the procedure well. We inject with precision to achieve balanced, natural results.

Right After Treatment

You can return to work or social activities immediately after your treatment. For the next 24 hours, avoid touching or massaging the treated areas and strenuous exercise. Also avoid lying flat for the first four hours. Most patients see no visible signs they've had the procedure.

Dysport Recovery

There is no recovery period with Dysport. You may notice mild redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites, which typically resolves within hours. You can cover any bruising with makeup if needed. Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for 24 hours, and do not schedule other facial treatments for at least two weeks. Results appear within three to seven days, with full effect by week four.

Dysport FAQ's

Is Dysport the same as BOTOX?

While both Dysport and BOTOX are botulinum toxin injectables, they have slight differences in molecular structure and diffusion patterns. Some patients prefer Dysport for its slightly faster onset and broader spread, while others prefer BOTOX. Our team can help determine which is right for you.

Can I combine Dysport with other treatments?

Yes. Dysport works well alongside dermal fillers, microneedling, and laser treatments. We recommend spacing treatments appropriately and discussing your full aesthetic goals during your consultation.

Is Dysport safe?

Dysport is FDA-approved and widely used for cosmetic purposes. During your consultation, we'll review your medical history and any medications to confirm Dysport is appropriate for you.

Does Dysport work on all types of wrinkles?

Dysport is most effective on dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by muscle movement (like frown lines, forehead lines, and crow's feet). It is not designed to treat static wrinkles, which are caused by loss of volume or skin elasticity. For those lines, dermal fillers are often more effective.

What happens to my face when Dysport wears off?

Results gradually fade over three to four months. Your muscles will slowly regain their normal movement, and expression lines will gradually reappear. You will not have an abrupt change. Many patients schedule maintenance treatments to maintain their results.

Can I use Dysport if I take blood thinners or other medications?

Certain medications can affect bruising and bleeding risk. Inform our team about any medications you take, including blood thinners, NSAIDs, and supplements like fish oil or vitamin E. We'll advise whether to adjust anything before your treatment.

Can men use Dysport?

Absolutely. Many men use Dysport to soften expression lines and maintain a natural, refreshed appearance. We specialize in subtle, natural-looking results for male patients and understand the specific aesthetic goals men have.
