This injectable can be administered quickly and serves as an excellent alternative to BOTOX® Cosmetic. Schedule an appointment with our McLean & Potomac Dermatology team to learn more today.
How Dysport® Works
Repeated movements and muscle contractions cause wrinkles. One Dysport® injection into each of the five points between and above the eyebrows temporarily prevents muscle contractions that cause frown lines. In other words: natural-looking results that look and feel like you!
Injections take only 10-20 minutes to finish. The results can be seen in 2-3 days after your session. Best of all, there’s little, if any, downtime needed. You can stop by, get your injections, and then immediately return to your daily routine.
Do Dysport® Results Look Natural?
Like with BOTOX® Cosmetic injections, Dysport® injections require a solid understanding of facial muscles to achieve a natural appearance. When injected correctly, Dysport® can alleviate wrinkles and give you a natural appearance that lasts for several weeks.
Do The Injections Hurt?
Our providers use exceptionally thin needles when injecting neuromodulators. Additionally, these injections feature lidocaine, which can ease any discomfort you may experience during the injection process.
How Long Does This Injectable Last?
Dysport® may help improve the look of your frown lines between the eyebrows for up to five months. The results of repeat treatments may be comparable to your first use. Another plus? There is minimal downtime after your treatment, so you can return to your day faster.
What Dysport® Doesn’t Treat
It’s important to note that this injectable only treats situations where the predominant cause of the wrinkle is muscle movement. By relaxing the right facial muscles, the wrinkle appearance is reduced. Dysport® is ineffective for addressing sagging skin or facial volume loss.
Frequently Asked Questions
How exactly does Dysport® work to smooth out frown lines?
Dysport® is a neuromodulator that targets dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated muscle contractions. By delivering a series of targeted injections between and above the eyebrows, it temporarily prevents the specific muscle movements responsible for frown lines. This relaxes the area, smoothing out the skin while maintaining natural-looking facial expressions.
Is the Dysport® injection process painful, and will I need downtime?
The procedure is fast, taking only 10 to 20 minutes, and requires virtually no downtime. Our experienced providers use exceptionally thin needles, and the injections are formulated with lidocaine to minimize discomfort, allowing you to seamlessly return to your daily routine immediately following your session.
How quickly will I see results from Dysport®, and how long do they last?
Visible improvements can be seen quickly, typically within 2 to 3 days after your treatment session. The smoothing effects of a single Dysport® treatment can last for up to five months. However, it only treats wrinkles caused by muscle movement and cannot address sagging skin or facial volume loss.
How does Dysport® differ from BOTOX®, Xeomin®, and Daxxify®?
All four are injectable neuromodulators that use a purified form of botulinum toxin type A to temporarily relax the muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles, so they treat the same concerns in very similar ways. The differences come down to their formulation and how they behave. BOTOX® is the original, time-tested option known for precise, predictable results. Dysport® has smaller molecules that spread a bit more easily, which can make it a strong choice for larger areas like the forehead, and it often starts working slightly faster. Xeomin® is a highly purified, “naked” formula with no surrounding proteins, which may lower the chance of building up resistance over time. Daxxify® is the newest option and uses a unique peptide-based formula designed to deliver longer-lasting results for many patients. During your consultation, our providers help you choose the product best suited to your facial muscles, treatment area, and aesthetic goals.
