How does Dysport work?

DYSPORT works the SAME AS BOTOX by reducing muscle movement under the skin, which is the real cause of wrinkles. Wrinkles are essentially folds of skin that are caused by the muscles under the skin contracting thousands and thousands of times, eventually “etching” in wrinkles in their fold points. You can notice this by looking in the mirror and raising your eyebrows-you will see lines form where the skin wrinkles on your forehead!

What can I expect during my Dypsort treatment?

During your evaluation, your provider will assess the muscle movement in the areas you hope to treat (forehead, “11” lines, “Crow’s Feet” etc.) and recommend a range of dosing options. Once you and your provider determine the correct dosing, your skin will be marked with a skin marker to note the correct placement of the injections. Then your provider will provide the injections-after this your skin will be cleaned off and your appointment will be complete!

What Is dysport?

Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription injectable treatment used to temporarily reduce the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines in adults. Similar to Botox, Dysport is a neuromodulator that works by temporarily relaxing specific muscles. By gently relaxing these muscles, Dysport smooths out frown lines for a refreshed and more youthful look. Unlike surgery, Dysport offers a minimally invasive and non-surgical approach with minimal downtime. The results typically last for 3-4 months, and touch-up treatments can maintain your desired outcome.

How is Dysport different than Botox?

DYSPORT vs. BOTOX are composed of the same molecule that blocks nerve signals called Botulinum Toxin. The two treatments are manufactured in a way that causes proteins to coat the Botolinum Toxin, and the difference in these proteins is what makes these two treatments have slightly different characteristics and able to be differentiated and thus sold as two different brands. Otherwise, how they work is EXACTLY THE SAME.

How many units of Dysport do I need?

How many units of Dysport you need really depends on “How much residual movement you are okay with?”. With Dysport, the number of units correlates with the reduction in movement, so a higher dose will equal less movement, and a lighter dose will result in decreased, but with some residual movement. Some people prefer to have NO muscle movement left, and some people prefer to retain more movement (in order to be more expressive). Below are some general recommendation to help you plan your discussion with you injector.

*Important: a general rule of thumb when determining how much DYSPORT you need is that you may need 3 UNITS OF DYSPORT FOR EVERY 1 UNIT OF BOTOX.

What Areas Does Dysport Treat?

Dysport is a versatile injectable treatment primarily used for cosmetic and therapeutic purposes. It can treat a variety of areas including:

Forehead lines: Dysport injections smooth out horizontal forehead lines, giving the skin a more youthful and relaxed appearance.
Frown lines between the eyebrows (Glabellar lines): Dysport effectively treats the glabellar lines that appear between the eyebrows, often softening or eliminating these "11 lines" that can make one appear stressed or angry.
Crow's feet around the eyes: Dysport can be used to minimize the appearance of crow's feet, the fine lines that form around the corners of the eyes, especially when smiling or squinting.
Bunny lines on the nose: Dysport injectables can help reduce bunny lines, which are the horizontal wrinkles that appear on either side of the nose when you scrunch your face.
Gummy smile: For those self-conscious about showing too much gum when smiling, Dysport can be used to lower the upper lip slightly, reducing the prominence of the gums.
Jawline slimming (Masseter muscle): Dysport can be injected into the masseter muscles to slim down a square or overly muscular jawline, providing a softer, more feminine contour.
Neck bands: Dysport can treat vertical neck bands, or "turkey neck," by relaxing the platysma muscle, resulting in a smoother, more youthful neck appearance.
Lip flip: Dysport filler can create a "lip flip" by subtly lifting the upper lip to give the illusion of fuller, more defined lips without adding volume.
Chin filler: Dysport can be used to relax the mentalis muscle in the chin, smoothing out unwanted dimpling or wrinkling for a more refined appearance.
