Dysport
What It Is
Dysport is a neuromodulator, a prescription injection that relaxes the muscles beneath the skin to smooth dynamic wrinkles. It contains botulinum toxin type A and works similarly to other neuromodulators by blocking nerve signals that cause repetitive facial expressions. Results typically appear within 3 to 7 days, with full effect by two weeks.
Good Candidates
Dysport suits adults with forehead lines, frown lines between the brows, or crow's feet who want to soften these expression-related wrinkles without surgery. It works best on active lines that deepen with facial movement. A qualified provider will assess your facial anatomy and goals during consultation.
What to Expect
The procedure takes 10 to 15 minutes in an office setting. A provider injects Dysport into targeted facial muscles using a fine needle. Most people describe minimal discomfort, and there is no need for anesthesia or numbing cream, though some providers offer topical numbing if preferred.
Recovery and Aftercare
There is no downtime. You can return to normal activities immediately. Avoid rubbing the injection sites for several hours and refrain from strenuous exercise or heat exposure for 24 hours to minimize swelling and bruising.
Results and Longevity
Dysport gradually relaxes the targeted muscles, and lines soften over one to two weeks. Results peak at two weeks and typically last three to four months, after which muscle activity gradually returns and lines reappear. Retreatment maintains the effect.
