What is Dysport? 

Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of aging, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with them. Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable designed to temporarily reduce the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines and other dynamic wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles.

Dysport offers a smooth, natural-looking result and can be a great option for certain individuals looking for a subtle refresh. It works similarly to Botox by targeting facial movement, helping to soften expression lines over time. Many patients appreciate Dysport for its ability to diffuse slightly, making it a good option for treating larger areas. It can treat the following:

  • Smooth forehead lines 
  • Combat bunny lines 
  • Raise the corners of the lip 
  • Correct a gummy smile 
  • Smooth platysmal bands in the neck 
  • Address teeth grinding or narrowing a wide jaw

Testimonial

“I’ve had several facials at Bal Med SKIN and it was phenomenal! They were very professional and communicated and explained to me the process every step of the way. I felt so relaxed and really enjoyed my time with them. I highly recommend microneedling and BBL forever young! My skin is glowing and has never looked better!”

Who is a Candidate for Dysport? 

If you’re looking to smooth out dynamic lines and wrinkles, Dysport may be an option for you. It’s best suited for those who are in overall good health and have realistic expectations for their results. However, as with any injectable, a consultation with our expert team is the best way to determine which treatment is right for your individual needs.

For those looking for a proven, widely trusted, and extensively studied neurotoxin with unmatched precision and versatility, Botox remains the leading choice.

The Dysport Treatment 

The Dysport procedure is quick and straightforward, typically taking about 10-15 minutes. After cleansing the treatment area, Dysport is carefully injected using a fine needle. Patients often describe the treatment as a small pinch, and discomfort is minimal.

Dysport Recovery and Results 

There’s little to no downtime with Dysport, meaning you can return to most of your daily activities right away. Some mild swelling, redness, or bruising may occur at the injection site, but these effects are temporary.

Results may begin to appear within a few days, with full effects developing over the next two weeks. While Dysport provides noticeable wrinkle relaxation, its duration and effectiveness can vary from person to person. For those looking for longer-lasting, highly predictable results, Botox continues to be the go-to choice.

Does Dysport only treat frown lines?

While Dysport can effectively smooth the appearance of mild to moderate frown lines, it can also be used to address a variety of other concerns. These include, but are not limited to, smoothing forehead lines, crow's feet, bunny lines, a dimpled chin, neck bands, and more. Like Botox injections, Dysport can also be used to address medical conditions such as muscle spasms.

Can Dysport treat very severe lines?

Dysport is most effective in smoothing mild to moderate lines and wrinkles. Those with severe glabellar lines may find Dysport is somewhat effective but may also benefit from a combination of treatments.

Are there side effects associated with Dysport?

The most common side effects of Dysport include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness in the injection area. However, with any botulinum toxin treatment, there is also the risk of rarer but more serious side effects. These may include flu-like symptoms, muscle weakness, trouble breathing, double or blurred vision, and more. In the rare case that these serious effects occur, seek medical help from a healthcare professional as soon as possible.
