What Is Dysport?
Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable neurotoxin containing botulinum toxin type A (abobotulinumtoxinA), designed to temporarily improve the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). This advanced treatment has been used internationally for over 25 years and received FDA approval in the United States in 2009.
Similar to Botox, Dysport works by relaxing the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, resulting in smoother skin and a more youthful expression. Its smaller protein complex allows it to diffuse slightly more than other neuromodulators, making it particularly effective for treating larger areas, such as the forehead.
Versatile Applications
While FDA-approved for glabellar lines, Dysport effectively addresses various concerns:
Forehead Lines
Smooths horizontal lines across the forehead with even coverage across this larger treatment area.
Crow's Feet
Reduces fine lines radiating from the outer corners of the eyes for a more refreshed appearance.
Bunny Lines
Minimizes small wrinkles on the nose when you scrunch your face.
Chin Dimpling
Smooths orange-peel texture on the chin for a more refined look.
Other Areas
May be used off-label for a subtle brow lift or other muscle-related concerns following consultation.
What Is Dysport?
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation, during which we assess your facial anatomy, discuss your concerns, and create a customized treatment plan. We’ll photograph your face at rest and in motion to identify optimal injection points.
During the procedure:
- Targeted areas are cleansed
- Topical numbing cream may be applied for comfort
- Using ultra-fine needles, small amounts of Dysport are administered
- Most patients receive 5-10 injections per area
- The entire process takes 10-20 minutes
Recovery and Aftercare
Following your Dysport treatment, you can resume most normal activities immediately. To optimize results:
- Remain upright for 4 hours post-treatment
- Avoid rubbing or massaging treated areas for 24 hours
- Skip strenuous exercise for 24 hours
- Avoid extreme heat (saunas, hot yoga) for 48 hours
- Don’t lie face down for 4 hours
These precautions ensure Dysport remains in the intended treatment areas. Specific aftercare instructions will be provided to ensure a smooth recovery.
Downtime and Side Effects
Dysport involves minimal to no downtime. Common side effects are typically mild and temporary:
Immediate Effects
- Small red dots at injection sites (fade within 30 minutes)
- Mild swelling or tenderness (resolves within hours)
- Slight redness at injection sites
Potential Side Effects
- Bruising (uncommon)
- Headaches (can be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers)
- Rarely, temporary drooping (if the product spreads)
When to Expect Results
Results from Dysport develop progressively:
Initial muscle relaxation may be noticed within 2-3 days
Visible wrinkle reduction typically appears within 4-5 days
Full results are generally observed at 10-14 days
We recommend a follow-up appointment at 2 weeks to assess results and determine if touch-ups would enhance your outcome.
How Long Do Results Last?
Results typically last 3-4 months, varying based on:
- Metabolism rate
- Muscle strength and activity
- Treatment area
- Dosage administered
- Consistency of treatments
Regular treatments often lead to longer-lasting results as treated muscles gradually weaken. Some patients extend intervals to 4-5 months after consistent use.
Am I a Candidate for Dysport?
Ideal candidates are adults bothered by moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles who:
- Are in good general health
- Have realistic expectations
- Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have no allergies to botulinum toxin products
- Don’t have certain neuromuscular conditions
A consultation at LuxeSkin Med Spa will determine if Dysport is right for your aesthetic goals.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Dysport different from Botox?
Both are neuromodulators, but Dysport’s smaller protein molecules may allow for a slightly faster onset and broader spread, making it suitable for larger treatment areas.
Is Dysport painful?
Most patients experience only mild discomfort, like a small pinch. Topical numbing cream can be applied for enhanced comfort.
Can I combine Dysport with other treatments?
Yes, Dysport pairs beautifully with dermal fillers, hydrafacials, laser treatments, and other facials for comprehensive facial rejuvenation.
Will I look frozen after Dysport?
Our providers use advanced techniques to soften wrinkles while preserving natural facial movement and expression, avoiding a “frozen” look.
When should I start Dysport treatments?
Many begin preventative Dysport in their late 20s or early 30s before deep wrinkles form, though it’s effective at any age for existing lines.
