What’s Dysport?
Dysport
Dysport is a highly effective prescription neurotoxin designed to smooth out the “dynamic” wrinkles that appear when you make natural facial expressions. Instead of adding volume like a filler, it gently pauses the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions, giving you a completely refreshed look without ever feeling “frozen.” Because Dysport’s protein makeup is a bit different from Botox, it actually works faster, showing results in just 2 to 3 days instead of a week. It also has a wider spread, making it a fantastic, natural-looking choice for treating larger areas like your entire forehead.

Q&A
You won’t have to wait long! Most clients see initial softening within just 2 to 3 days, with the complete, smooth results fully setting in at 14 days. Since Botox usually takes about 3 to 7 days to start kicking in, Dysport’s quicker turnaround makes it the perfect go-to if you have a big event on the calendar and want to look your absolute best on a tighter timeline.
Generally, you’ll enjoy a smoother, wrinkle-free look for about 3 to 4 months. Most of our clients pop in every 12 to 16 weeks for a quick maintenance session to keep their skin looking flawless year-round. The best part? If you keep up with a regular schedule, your facial muscles essentially “learn” to stay relaxed, meaning your results might actually start lasting even longer!
Dysport has its own unique unit of measurement, so the numbers will look a little higher than what you might be used to with Botox! As a general rule, 2.5 to 3 units of Dysport equals 1 unit of Botox. Treating the upper face usually requires anywhere from 50 to 150 units, but this depends entirely on your natural muscle strength and the look you want to achieve. Don’t worry about the math, your provider will map out your exact, custom dose during your consultation before we get started.
Yes, Dysport possesses a slightly higher rate of diffusion, meaning it gently extends a bit further from the initial injection site than Botox. This unique characteristic is actually a remarkable advantage, allowing for an exceptionally soft, feathered, and natural appearance across broader areas like the forehead. Our expert providers possess a deep understanding of facial anatomy, intentionally utilizing this subtle spread to deliver flawlessly seamless results.
Yes! Dysport was FDA-approved in April 2009 to treat moderate to severe frown lines. Thanks to its proven safety and effectiveness over the years, skilled injectors also widely use it to treat other common dynamic wrinkles, including crow’s feet and horizontal forehead lines.
Most people just feel a quick, tiny pinch! Because we use extremely fine needles and the injections take mere seconds, numbing cream usually isn’t needed (though it’s always an option if you want it). There is zero downtime, meaning you can pop in on your lunch break and get right back to your routine.
Not at all! The downtime is practically zero, so you can jump right back into your daily plans immediately. We just advise you to hold off on heavy gym sessions, happy hour drinks, and lying down flat for the first 4 hours. It’s completely normal to have a little bit of redness or mild swelling at the injection spots, but it usually disappears before you even finish your day.
While Dysport is exceptionally safe for most, it is not recommended for individuals who are pregnant, nursing, or navigating a neuromuscular condition. Additionally, because the formulation includes trace amounts of cow’s milk protein, it must be avoided if you have a known dairy allergy. Your well-being is our ultimate priority, which is why we meticulously review your complete medical background during your private consultation to guarantee this treatment is perfectly suited for you.
