Among the many cosmetic treatments available to maintain a youthful appearance, Dysport has emerged as one of the best options for people who want to look sleeker and more vibrant. Keep reading to discover how you can achieve the smooth and supple look you want with Dysport!
What is Dysport?
Dysport, also known as abobotulinumtoxinA, is a prescription injection for temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles. It is particularly effective for diminishing frown lines between the eyebrows, called glabellar lines.
Dysport works by temporarily blocking the nerve signals to the muscles, preventing them from contracting. This relaxation of the muscles results in a smoother, more supple appearance of the overlying skin.
Like Botox, the active ingredient in Dysport involves botulinum toxin type A, a neurotoxin produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. When injected in small doses, this neurotoxin temporarily paralyzes specific facial muscles.
Wrinkles form when facial muscles repeatedly contract over time due to laughing, frowning, or other facial expressions. Dysport’s targeted action prevents the muscles from contracting into a crease, reducing the appearance of wrinkles or preventing wrinkles from forming.
The effects of Dysport usually begin to appear within a few days of treatment, with full results visible in about two weeks. The results of a Dysport treatment generally last between 3 and 4 months and require follow-up treatments to maintain.
Many people see more rapid results after a treatment like Dysport than with other treatments like Botox. Its ability to diffuse over a larger area can be particularly beneficial for treating larger areas of the face.
What are the Benefits of Dysport?
While Dysport may not be as widely known as other wrinkle treatments, it offers numerous benefits, including:
Natural-Looking Results
One of Dysport’s most significant benefits is its ability to produce very natural-looking results. While other treatments can result in a “frozen” or artificial appearance, Dysport allows for more natural facial expressions.
Quick and Convenient
Sometimes referred to as “lunchtime treatments,” Dysport injections are quick and require no downtime. You can return to work or your regular activities almost immediately after having a Dysport treatment.
Effective for Various Wrinkle Types
While Dysport is commonly used to treat frown lines, it is also effective at treating other types of facial wrinkles. These include crow’s feet, forehead lines, and lip lines.
Long-Lasting Effects
Although not permanent, the effects of Dysport are relatively long-lasting. Individual results vary, but on average, a Dysport treatment can improve the appearance of wrinkles for up to 5 months before repeat treatment becomes necessary.

What is a Dysport Treatment Like?
The first step in treatment is to consult with a Dysport provider to discuss your aesthetic goals and any concerns you may have about treatment. Your Advanced Aesthetics & Med Spa provider will evaluate your facial structure to determine appropriate dosages and injection sites to achieve the best results.
On the day of treatment, your Dysport provider will clean the areas where they administer injections. Dysport injections are relatively painless, but your provider may apply a topical anesthetic to minimize discomfort.
Using a fine needle, your provider will inject Dysport into the specific muscles responsible for causing wrinkles. The number of injections varies depending on the severity of the wrinkles being treated, and the injection process is often completed within 10 to 20 minutes.
After Dysport treatments, you should remain upright for several hours and avoid rubbing the treated areas. You may experience mild swelling or bruising at the injection sites, but it will typically subside within a few days.
As with any aesthetic treatment, Dysport has the potential to cause side effects. The most common side effects include headaches, pain at the injection site, swelling, and bruising.
More severe side effects, such as drooping eyelids, muscle weakness, or allergic reactions, may occur rarely. Choosing a qualified and experienced provider like Advanced Aesthetics & Med Spa is crucial to minimize your risk of potential side effects.
Why Choose Dysport?
If you are considering diminishing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, here are some of these reasons why you should choose Dysport:
Dysport is Effective
Dysport delivers noticeable results in as little as 24 hours after treatment. At least 95% of people report satisfaction with Dysport treatment results after only two sessions per year, citing its long-lasting effects.
Dysport is Versatile
Dysport’s ability to diffuse over a large area can be advantageous in treating extensive areas of the face, like chin dimpling, crow’s feet, wrinkles around the mouth, neck bands, wrinkles on the side of the nose, and forehead lines. Dysport is an excellent option for people who want to target multiple areas of concern with a single treatment.
Dysport Can Be Customized
You can customize Dysport treatment to meet your unique needs and goals. Whether you want to target certain wrinkles or achieve a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation, every Dysport treatment is planned specifically for you.
Dysport is Complimentary to Other Treatments
You can combine Dysport with other aesthetic treatments, such as dermal fillers, for a more complete facial rejuvenation effect. Combining Dysport with dermal fillers can address dynamic wrinkles (caused by muscle movement) and static wrinkles (caused by loss of volume and elasticity).
If you are considering a cosmetic treatment to reduce the look of wrinkles and fine lines, Dysport may be the right option for you. With its targeted application, natural-looking results, and long-lasting effects, Dysport can help you achieve a smoother, more supple appearance.
