Dysport FAQs

Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable medication that contains botulinum toxin type A. It works by blocking nerve signals in muscles, thereby temporarily reducing muscle activity and smoothing out wrinkles and lines on the skin.

Dysport is primarily used for cosmetic purposes to treat dynamic wrinkles, including frown lines (between the eyebrows), forehead lines, and crow's feet (lines around the eyes). It can also be used for medical purposes to address conditions like muscle spasms and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis).

Dysport and Botox are both botulinum toxin type A products used for similar purposes. The main difference is in their formulation and dosage units. Dysport may have a slightly different spread and onset of action than Botox, but the overall effects are comparable. The choice between Dysport and Botox may depend on individual preferences and the recommendations of a healthcare provider.

Dysport works by temporarily inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions. When injected into specific facial muscles, it reduces muscle activity, which results in the relaxation of overlying skin and a reduction in the appearance of wrinkles.

When administered by a trained and licensed healthcare professional, Dysport is generally considered safe. However, like any medical procedure, it carries some risks and potential side effects, including bruising, swelling, and temporary muscle weakness. It's crucial to have Dysport injections performed by a qualified practitioner.

The effects of Dysport are temporary and typically last for about 3 to 6 months. After this period, the muscle activity gradually returns, and wrinkles may reappear. Many individuals choose to have follow-up injections to maintain their desired results.

Dysport injections are usually well-tolerated by most people and are often described as feeling like a slight pinch. Some practitioners may use topical anesthesia or ice to numb the area before injection to minimize discomfort.

Common side effects of Dysport include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, and muscle weakness at the injection site. Less common side effects may include headaches, dry eyes, or drooping eyelids. These side effects are usually temporary and resolve on their own.

It may take a few days to start seeing the effects of Dysport, with the full results typically appearing within one to two weeks after treatment.

Yes, Dysport can be combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as dermal fillers or skincare treatments, to achieve a more comprehensive facial rejuvenation. Your healthcare provider can discuss the best treatment plan for your specific goals.
