What Is Dysport?

Dysport is a prescription injectable neuromodulator that temporarily reduces activity in select facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, most commonly those formed through repeated expression. By limiting excessive muscle contraction in targeted areas, Dysport helps soften the appearance of lines that develop over time while allowing surrounding muscles to function normally. When administered with precision, the result is a smoother, more relaxed appearance that maintains facial balance and natural expression.

Benefits of Dysport Treatment

When used thoughtfully, Dysport offers controlled refinement for expression-related wrinkles.

  • Wrinkle softening: Softens moderate to severe frown lines caused by repetitive movement.
  • Even correction: Allows for smooth, even correction in appropriately selected areas.
  • Efficient treatment: Requires minimal time in-office.
  • Custom dosing: Can be tailored in dosing and placement based on muscle anatomy.
  • Balanced results: Delivers results that integrate naturally with surrounding facial features.

Am I a Good Candidate for Dysport?

Dysport may be appropriate for individuals bothered by wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions, particularly between the eyebrows. Candidates should be in good overall health, understand the temporary nature of treatment, and seek measured improvement rather than dramatic alteration.

What to Expect During Dysport Treatment

Dysport is administered during a brief in-office visit. Using a fine needle, precise amounts are placed into targeted muscles based on your treatment plan. The process is efficient and does not require anesthesia.

Dysport Recovery and Results

Most patients experience little interruption to daily activities following treatment. Minor injection-site redness or swelling may occur and typically resolves quickly. Visible improvement often begins within a few days, with results continuing to settle and lasting approximately three to four months.

Dysport Treatment Areas

Dysport is most commonly used to address expression-related wrinkles in the upper face.

  • Glabellar lines: Lines between the eyebrows caused by repeated frowning.
  • Forehead lines: Select horizontal lines, based on muscle activity and anatomy.
  • Lateral canthal lines: Wrinkles at the outer corners of the eyes when appropriate.

Injectable Options Related to Dysport

Depending on facial structure and treatment goals, other injectables may be discussed.

  • BOTOX: A neuromodulator alternative that may be considered based on facial anatomy and treatment goals.
  • Dermal fillers: Used to restore volume or contour rather than relax muscle movement.
  • Microneedling: A skin-rejuvenating treatment that improves texture and tone and may complement injectable results.
