Dysport

Looking to soften lines and wrinkles without sacrificing natural movement? Dysport is a trusted injectable that targets facial muscles responsible for expression lines, creating a smoother, more refreshed look. At Injectables by Dr. V, all Dysport treatments are performed by Dr. V himself, so you can expect expert-level care in a safe, comfortable setting.

What Are Dysport Injections?

Dysport is a botulinum toxin injectable that temporarily relaxes the facial muscles responsible for expression lines. Similar to Botox, it is FDA-approved to treat moderate to severe glabellar lines, the vertical frown lines between the eyebrows. It is also widely used off-label to smooth other dynamic wrinkles that form from repetitive facial movements like squinting, smiling, or raising your eyebrows.

Cosmetically, Dysport is chosen by people who want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles without losing natural facial movement. It helps soften the look of aging by targeting early to moderate signs of expression-related lines, making it a popular choice for both first-time injectable clients and those maintaining long-term results.

Unlike fillers, which add volume, Dysport works by minimizing the muscle activity that causes lines to deepen over time. The result is smoother skin and a more relaxed appearance. Many clients describe the results as looking well-rested, less tense, and subtly rejuvenated.

Dysport is especially favored by those who want:

  • Softer, natural-looking results with no dramatic changes

  • A quick, non-surgical treatment with no downtime

  • Prevention of deeper wrinkle formation in the future

  • An option that works faster than Botox in many cases

With expert placement and dosing, Dysport treatments can maintain your unique facial expressions while reducing the intensity of creases. Dr. V uses this injectable to support a refreshed, approachable appearance that aligns with your features and goals.

Dysport vs. Botox

While both Botox and Dysport work by relaxing muscles, there are a few differences in how they perform:

  • Spread: Dysport has a thinner consistency, which allows it to disperse more easily across wider treatment areas. This can make it a strong option for smoothing larger zones like the forehead.

  • Onset: Many people notice Dysport taking effect within 2 to 3 days, compared to 4 to 7 days for Botox.

  • Unit Comparison: Dysport units are measured differently than Botox. You may receive a higher number of units, but this does not indicate a stronger dose. It is simply a different dosing scale.

Both products are safe and effective. Dr. V will help you decide which is better suited to your anatomy, treatment goals, and preferences.

Dysport Injection Sites: What Dysport Can Treat

There are a variety of dysport injection sites, commonly used to treat:

  • Frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines)

  • Forehead lines that appear when raising the eyebrows

  • Crow’s feet at the outer corners of the eyes

  • Bunny lines across the bridge of the nose

  • Lip lines or smoker’s lines around the mouth

  • Chin dimpling (also known as orange peel chin)

  • Platysmal neck bands or vertical lines on the neck

  • Masseter muscles to slim the jawline or reduce teeth grinding

  • Eyebrow lifting by relaxing muscles that pull the brow downward

  • Nasal flare reduction

  • Gummy smile correction by relaxing upper lip movement

Because Dysport spreads slightly more than Botox, it can be a great option for larger or more diffuse areas. Dr. V will assess which muscles need attention and develop a precise treatment plan based on your facial anatomy.

What to Expect During Dysport Treatment

Your Dysport treatment typically takes 10 to 15 minutes. After a consultation, Dr. V uses a fine needle to inject small amounts of product into targeted muscles. Most patients describe the sensation as a quick pinch with little to no discomfort. No numbing is usually required.

There is no required downtime, and most clients resume daily activities right away. You may notice early results in 2 to 3 days, with full effects developing in about a week. Results typically last 3 to 4 months.
