Smooth Lines by Relaxing Facial Muscles

Dysport is a prescription injectable that temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated expressions, such as frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows. It works by blocking the nerve signals that trigger muscle contractions, allowing the overlying skin to smooth out naturally. Commonly used to treat frown lines between the eyebrows, Dysport can also soften other expression lines for a more refreshed look. The results typically appear within a few days and last up to four months.

For more comprehensive results, combination treatments are available for Dysport plus advanced treatments like SkinPen Microneedling, RF Microneedling, and HALO laser.

Dysport Treats:

  • Frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)
  • Forehead wrinkles caused by repeated movement
  • Crow’s feet around the eyes
  • Bunny lines on the sides of the nose
  • Neck bands caused by platysmal muscle activity

Your Dysport Session

During your treatment, a skilled injector will assess your facial anatomy and discuss your goals with you. Using a fine needle, they’ll make a series of small injections into the targeted muscles, typically taking just 10 to 15 minutes.

Most patients experience only minimal discomfort, often described as a slight pinch. There’s no need for anesthesia, and you can return to your daily routine right after your appointment. The results will begin to appear within a few days.

Combination Treatments:

Dysport results are most effective when supported by treatments that improve overall skin quality and long-term skin health. We recommend a comprehensive approach that pairs Dysport with advanced skin treatments and a consistent Medical-Grade skincare routine for enhanced, longer-lasting results:

  • SkinPen microneedling is a great option for early signs of aging, helping smooth texture and support natural collagen production.
  • RF microneedling is ideal for addressing more advanced concerns such as sun damage, rosacea, and deeper wrinkles, while maintaining minimal downtime.
  • HALO Laser treatment is best suited for patients who can plan for downtime and are seeking deeper resurfacing for crepey skin, significant sun damage, and more pronounced wrinkles.

Medical-Grade skincare is an essential component of every Dysport plan. We proudly offer Alastin and Ourself skincare—available through our med spa—to help strengthen the skin, protect results, and maintain a smooth, healthy-looking complexion over time.

Dysport FAQs

How does Dysport work?

Dysport works by temporarily blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that signals muscles to contract. When injected into specific facial muscles, it prevents these nerve signals from reaching the muscle, reducing its ability to move. As the targeted muscles relax, the overlying skin smooths out, softening the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. This effect is localized to the injection site, allowing for precise, natural-looking results.

What areas can be treated with Dysport?

Dysport is most commonly used to treat moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines). It can also be used off-label to address forehead lines, crow’s feet, bunny lines, neck bands, and even excessive sweating in the underarms.

How quickly will I see results?

Many patients begin to notice results within 2 to 3 days after treatment, with the full effects typically visible by day 7. This fast onset makes Dysport a popular option for those seeking quick improvements before events or special occasions.

How long do the results last?

The results from Dysport usually last about 3 to 4 months, depending on factors such as your metabolism, the treated area, and the amount of product used. Regular maintenance treatments can help extend and preserve your results.

Is there any downtime after treatment?

Dysport involves minimal downtime. Most people return to their normal activities immediately after treatment. You may experience slight redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, but these effects are temporary and typically resolve quickly.

Does Dysport make your face look frozen?

No. When administered by an expert provider, Dysport softens wrinkles without compromising your expressions. The goal is to refresh your appearance, not to freeze your face.
