What Is Dysport?

Dysport is a prescription cosmetic injectable designed to soften wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions. Rather than treating the skin itself, it works beneath the surface to temporarily prevent the muscle contractions that cause expression lines to form and deepen over time.

Made with abobotulinumtoxinA, Dysport is part of a well-established class of wrinkle relaxers known as neuromodulators. It is FDA-approved for moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows, and experienced injectors may also use it in other areas of the face and neck when appropriate.

Dysport is especially known for its quick onset, with many patients beginning to see a smoother, more relaxed appearance within just a few days. Treatment is customizable and requires little interruption to your normal routine.

What Can Dysport Treat?

Dysport is best known for reducing dynamic wrinkles, but its ability to selectively relax muscles also makes it useful for refining certain facial and neck contours. Depending on your anatomy and aesthetic goals, Dr. Wick may use Dysport to address:

• Frown lines between the eyebrows
• Horizontal forehead lines
• Crow’s feet around the eyes
• Bunny lines along the nose
• Chin dimpling
• A gummy smile
• A wide or prominent jaw caused by enlarged masseter muscles
• Visible platysmal bands in the neck
• Prominent trapezius muscles that make the neck appear shorter or the shoulders more pronounced

Why Choose Dysport?

While Dysport, BOTOX®, and DAXXIFY® all work by temporarily reducing targeted muscle activity, each has distinct characteristics. Dysport is considered faster-acting than BOTOX, with patients often noticing initial improvements within two to three days. It is also known for its tendency to diffuse more readily from the injection site. In experienced hands, this can be advantageous when treating broader areas.

Dr. Wick will assess your concerns and review your medical and neuromodulator treatment history to determine which product is the best option for you.

What to Expect During Treatment

Dysport treatments are performed by Dr. Wick at our Beachwood office and typically take about 15 to 30 minutes. Before beginning, she will evaluate your facial anatomy and muscle movement and discuss the changes you would like to see. This allows her to map out the optimal injection points and determine the amount of Dysport needed for a balanced result that complements your natural expressions.

Dr. Wick then administers Dysport with a fine needle into the targeted muscles. Most patients tolerate the injections well, describing the sensation as only a brief pinch or mild pressure. If desired, topical numbing cream can be applied for additional comfort.

How Long Does Dysport Last?

Dysport typically lasts three to four months, although some patients find their results last closer to five months. The exact duration depends on factors such as the treatment area, muscle strength, dose, and your individual response.

As the effects wear off, muscle movement gradually returns and treated lines become more visible again. Dr. Wick will provide personalized retreatment recommendations for maintaining your preferred look.
