Glabellar lines that stubbornly sit between your eyebrows can make you look tired, stressed, or angry, even when you’re not. Dysport® treatments are a popular solution to refine one’s facial features, offering a fresh and natural look that does not appear frozen. At Cosmetica Anti-Aging, Aesthetic Lasers, and Weight Loss Clinic, we offer Dysport® injections for patients who want to remove the literal frown on their face and restore their youth.

Who Benefits from the Dysport® Treatment?

Dysport® injections benefit adults with moderate to severe glabellar lines, which are the wrinkles between the eyebrows. Since the effect tends to be faster compared to other neurotoxins, it aids those who are preparing for an event and need quick results.
Consider Dysport® if you meet the following criteria:

  • You have dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines (the “11” lines between the eyebrows)
  • You are an adult aged between 18 and 64
  • You are in general good health, with no active skin infections
  • You have developed a BOTOX® Cosmetic tolerance and need an alternative
  • You have a larger area to treat and need a product that spreads more easily
  • You want to soften deep creases without the “frozen” or “done” appearance
  • You are not allergic to dairy or milk proteins

Dysport® was created with a different protein structure than BOTOX® Cosmetic, making it a suitable choice for those who have reached a “plateau.” The injection administration takes around 10 to 15 minutes, making it effective for busy professionals. Switching to Dysport® can help refresh your appearance with minimal discomfort.

How Dysport® Works

Dysport® injections are created using abobotulinumtoxinA, a prescription neurotoxin used to temporarily relax the muscles. This product has been used for more than 25 years to address medical issues like cervical dystonia and limb spasticity. However, it’s also been used for more than 15 years for cosmetic purposes.

Once injected into the target area, Dysport® blocks the release of acetylcholine, a chemical neurotransmitter that tells the muscle to contract. Since these contractions are responsible for the formation of dynamic wrinkles, Dysport® creates the environment needed for the skin to smooth. It doesn’t add volume, but with time, it makes the skin appear softer, smoother, and less creased.

Dysport® sets itself apart from other neuromodulators due to its smaller molecular size. This offers a higher diffusion (easier spread) compared to formulas like BOTOX® Cosmetic, which brings a faster onset of the results.

What Can You Expect from the Recovery?

Dysport® treatments are rapid and non-invasive, with only some very small needles pricking the skin. Numbing agents are used in the area, which allows clients to return to their regular activities right away.

That said, similar to every injection, mild side effects like redness, swelling, tenderness, and tiny bumps can appear at the injection site. Mild bruising doesn’t always show, but it can happen in the next three days if you are prone to this issue. Most of the swelling and redness go away within one or two days, but the bruising can take up to a week to fade.

It’s best to avoid intense physical activity for the next 24 to 48 hours, as it can make the swelling worse and prolong your recovery. Saunas and hot baths should be avoided for the same reason, as the heat creates discomfort. Refrain from rubbing the treated area for the next 24 hours to reduce product migration.

When Do the Dysport® Results Appear?

Dysport® is known for having faster-appearing results, with many noticing improvements in as little as two to three days. Early softening of the wrinkles takes place around that time, but continues improving over the next few weeks. Maximum smoothing appears within 10 to 14 days, but the skin quality keeps improving after the contractions stop.

The size of the treatment area can also affect how fast you see results. For example, larger areas show faster improvement with Dysport® compared to other neurotoxins, due to its spreadability. However, individual metabolism and muscle strength can affect how quickly the products settle.

Results usually last a minimum of three to four months, but Dysport® has been proven to last up to five months with proper skincare and sunblock use. Muscle activity gradually returns around that time, which means the wrinkles will also come back. This signals the time for maintenance so that you may keep a fresh look for longer.

FAQs

How Soon Will I See Results After a Dysport® Treatment?

Most clients notice improvement within the first two to three days after getting the Dysport® injection, although subtle changes can be seen sooner. Full results take around 10 to 14 days to show and will keep improving over the next few weeks.

How Long Will the Dysport® Results Last?

Dysport® results are longer-lasting and clinically proven to stay in effect for up to five months. However, the duration also depends on the person. Regular maintenance treatments may allow you to enjoy the results for longer.

Does Dysport® Have Any Associated Side Effects?

As it happens with any injectable treatment, side effects where the needle pricks the skin are common. This includes mild redness and swelling, but some bruising can also happen later. The former symptoms subside within a day or two, whereas the latter may take a week to fade.

Is Dysport® a Suitable Choice for Every Age and Skin Type?

Dysport® is suitable for many skin types and ages if you have moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. While well-tolerated and a versatile treatment, it’s best to talk with our providers to see if you are a candidate.

Can You Combine Dysport® with Other Cosmetic Treatments?

Yes, it’s common to combine the Dysport® wrinkle relaxer with other cosmetic treatments like dermal fillers. It’s also used in plans that include laser skin rejuvenation, although time may be needed between treatments. Our team can help customize a plan that fits your goals.
