What Is Dysport?

Dysport is a cosmetic injectable composed of a neurotoxin protein called abobotulinumtoxinA. When injected into targeted facial regions, it paralyzes certain facial muscles and relaxes the associated wrinkles, such as the horizontal forehead lines, crow’s feet, and frown lines. Dysport injectables are temporary treatments, producing results that last for up to 5 months, necessitating regular maintenance injections.

How Does Dysport Work?

Dysport is a neuromodulator, i.e., a type of cosmetic injectable composed of a neurotoxin protein produced by a bacterium called Clostridium botulinum. This neurotoxin protein prevents the nerves from communicating with your muscles, essentially blocking interactions between the brain and muscles. When injected into carefully chosen locations on your face, Dysport paralyzes targeted facial muscles.

Dynamic wrinkles, such as forehead lines, frown lines, and laugh lines, occur due to the overuse of facial muscles. They appear when you raise your eyebrows, frown, laugh, smile, etc. The overuse of these facial muscles makes wrinkles appear on your skin even when you’re not actively expressing these emotions. By paralyzing the targeted facial muscles, Dysport relaxes the associated dynamic wrinkles.

What Are the Benefits of Dysport?

  • Relaxes targeted facial muscles
  • Smoothens the skin
  • Minimizes forehead lines, frown lines, and laugh lines
  • Nonsurgical treatment
  • No major side effects or complications
  • Simple in-office treatment
  • No recovery downtime

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dysport?

Dysport is suitable for individuals with mild to moderate fine lines and wrinkles, especially forehead lines, frown lines, and laugh lines. However, you must be at least 18 years of age, physically and mentally healthy, and without a history of neuromuscular diseases, such as multiple sclerosis. Dysport is also inadvisable if you’re pregnant or nursing.

What Happens During Dysport Treatment?

Your practitioner will carefully examine your facial wrinkles, review your medical history, discuss your goals, and curate a one-of-a-kind treatment plan accordingly. They will then choose the ideal Dysport dose and mark the treatment spots. 

The treatment is fairly simple—Dysport is administered into the targeted facial regions with ultrafine needles. The number of injections depends on your goals.

What Are the Side Effects of Dysport?

Dysport is a safe procedure with minimal side effects. You might experience some irritation, redness, and bruising around the treatment sites for a few days, and you’ll have to avoid strenuous workouts for a day or two. However, you can resume most of your daily activities and work as soon as you leave the medical center. There’s no downtime.

Your Dysport Results

The Dysport results gradually appear after 2 to 3 days; you’ll notice that your wrinkles gradually start smoothing out. You’ll notice the final results in 2 to 3 weeks. While the results typically last for 3 to 5 months, the exact longevity varies for each individual. Our team will help you curate the ideal treatment schedule to maintain the results.

"If more stars could be given, I would have no hesitation in making sure that everyone thinking about surgery with Dr. Chang will be confident of an excellent result that clearly exceeded my expectations. Pictures speak a thousand words, but everything on my "wish" list (keep it natural, raise the brow in select areas, achieve a clearly visible improvement) was easily met, and the result is a very happy patient who is happy to strongly recommend Dr. Chang. In fact, I have to say that in his care, I felt that his scrupulous attention to detail, his surgical approach, and comprehensive answers meant that I had full confidence in his abilities. Dr. Chang made it a thoroughly enjoyable procedure, and from the moment I entered the office (to a very warm and welcoming receptionist) through procedure planning, the actual operation, and then the follow-up care demonstrated a true dedication to patient care and satisfaction. I honestly did not think (given my age and a previous surgery) that I could realistically get my ideal result - but Dr. Chang delivered a result that blew past every possible and hoped-for outcome. Every question was answered, the instructions before and after surgery were easy to follow and explained fully, and I benefited from and greatly appreciated his superlative surgical skill set. Dr. Chang always took the time that the patient needed to understand all aspects of the procedure, and I will enjoy the benefits of his work in the years to come. I have told all my friends, so I do hope others will consider and meet with Dr. Chang. He was, in fact, the only surgeon recommended by my dermatologist of many years, and she was 100% correct in directing me to his door."

I cannot speak highly enough of this entire practice, but in particular, Monica, with whom I have had the pleasure of seeing most often over the years

I really respect how meticulous, thoughtful, and ethical Monica is in everything she does-including her patient education and consent process. I have a very low risk appetite when it comes to my face and health, and she always remembers that! She’s never forgotten what I told her years ago in my initial consultation, that my primary goal is conservative, virtually undetectable small changes with a neuro modulator to help improve how well rested and content I appear to be. I don’t want to change my natural facial features, I just don’t want to look as exhausted as I feel sometimes!

I arrived here with near total naïveté about 99% of aesthetics, and a nearly untouched face over five years ago, having only had medical Botox for migraine, and prescription topical retinoids before. However, I knew that one of my surgeons had entrusted this practice with his own wife, and that speaks volumes!

Carey has been working on my face for many years and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She is not only highly skilled and knowledgeable in her field, but she also has a genuine care for her patients that sets her apart. From the moment I walked into the appointment, I felt completely at ease. Her attention to detail and expertise are unmatched, and it’s clear that she has a true eye for beauty. She took the time to thoroughly explain the process, listened to my concerns, and tailored the treatment to meet my individual needs. Her precision and artistry truly shine through in her work. She is the best choice!
