Dysport® is a trusted non-surgical solution for diminishing dynamic wrinkles like forehead lines and crow’s feet, offering a rejuvenated, youthful appearance without requiring downtime. As a botulinum toxin injectable, Dysport® works by temporarily relaxing the muscles that create wrinkles from repetitive facial movements. This leads to smoother skin and a more refreshed look. At Metropolis Dermatology in Costa Mesa, CA, we’re passionate about helping you achieve natural, radiant results that leave your skin looking refreshed, vibrant, and beautifully rejuvenated.
What is Dysport®?
Dysport® is an FDA-cleared injectable treatment derived from botulinum toxin type A. It operates by temporarily halting nerve signals to specific facial muscles, reducing the formation of wrinkles caused by repetitive expressions like smiling or frowning. This allows the skin to naturally smooth out, visibly softening fine lines and wrinkles.
What Makes Dysport® Unique?
Dysport® sets itself apart due to its unique formulation, which allows for even distribution across larger treatment areas. This makes it especially effective for smoothing wrinkles on broad areas like the forehead with fewer injections. Another major benefit is how quickly Dysport® begins to work. Many patients see initial results within just a few days, making it an excellent option for anyone seeking noticeable improvements on a tight timeline, such as before a special event.
Areas Dysport® Treats
Dysport® is designed to treat dynamic wrinkles—those caused by repeated muscle movements. Common treatment areas include:
- Forehead lines: Minimize horizontal lines from raising the eyebrows.
- Crow’s feet: Soften fine lines around the eyes caused by smiling or squinting.
- Frown lines: Reduce the vertical “11 lines” between the eyebrows.
- Bunny lines: Address the lines that form on the nose bridge from scrunching.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
Dysport® treatments are efficient and minimally invasive, typically lasting 15 to 20 minutes. During your visit, our skilled injector will carefully administer small amounts of Dysport® into the target muscles using a fine needle. Most patients find the procedure comfortable, with only mild sensations described as pinching. Best of all, there’s no downtime—allowing you to return to your regular activities right away.
Results and Longevity
You’ll likely notice visible improvements within 2–3 days, with the most dramatic results appearing about a week after treatment. The effects typically last 3–4 months, after which you can schedule follow-up sessions to maintain your smooth, youthful appearance.
To ensure the best outcome:
- Avoid touching or massaging the treated areas for at least 24 hours.
- Stay upright for 4 hours following the procedure.
- Refrain from strenuous activities or exercise for 24 hours.
Who Can Benefit from Dysport®?
Dysport® is ideal for adults who want to minimize moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles, such as those on the forehead or around the eyes, without undergoing surgery. It’s also an excellent option for individuals who prefer a treatment that provides even coverage for larger areas. If you’ve tried Botox® and are looking for an alternative, Dysport® may be a perfect choice.
