Neurotoxins all work a little differently, and Dysport® is a great example of why choice matters. While Dysport and Botox are similar, Dysport spreads slightly more in the tissue, which can make it a better option for certain muscle patterns and facial areas.
At The MedSpa of DFW in Grapevine, Texas, Elaine Ewing, BS, MPAS, PA-C, will help you decide whether Dysport or another neurotoxin makes the most sense based on how your face actually moves.
What Dysport Is Commonly Used For
Dysport is often chosen to treat:
- Forehead lines
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Larger treatment areas where smoother spread is helpful
Some patients also feel Dysport kicks in slightly faster than other neurotoxins.
How Dysport Works
Dysport relaxes targeted muscles by limiting the nerve signals that cause repeated contraction. As those muscles soften, the skin above them smooths out, but the surrounding muscles remain active, which helps your results look natural and expressive.
Treatment and Results
Appointments are quick and typically require no downtime. Mild swelling or redness may appear briefly at injection sites. You should begin to see results within two to three days, with full results settling in over one to two weeks.
The results usually last about three to four months, depending on muscle strength and activity.
