What Is Dysport®?

Dysport® is an injectable neurotoxin that temporarily smooths out wrinkles and creases, creating a softer, more youthful appearance. As we age, facial expressions like laughing, smiling, or squinting cause lines to form and deepen. Over time, these wrinkles become more noticeable as the skin loses elasticity. Dysport® is commonly used to treat the same areas as BOTOX®, including:

  • Forehead lines
  • Crow’s feet (around the eyes)
  • Frown lines (between the eyebrows)
  • Nasolabial folds (lines running from the nose to the mouth)
  • Wrinkles above the lip
  • Creases around the neck

Treatment typically takes around 15 minutes, and results can last up to four months. It’s an excellent, non-surgical option for addressing bothersome signs of aging.

What Other Conditions Can Dysport® Treat?

Dysport® is not only effective for cosmetic concerns but is also FDA-approved to treat a variety of medical conditions, including:

  • Migraine headaches: Dysport® can help reduce the frequency and intensity of chronic migraines.
  • Hyperhidrosis: Dysport® can target overactive sweat glands, reducing excessive sweating in underarms, hands, and feet.
  • Masseter muscle slimming: Dysport® can be injected into the masseter muscle to help slim the jawline and improve facial contour.
  • Gummy smile: By injecting Dysport® into the upper lip muscles, we can reduce the elevation that causes a “gummy smile.”

The History of Dysport®

Originally developed to treat medical conditions involving involuntary muscle movements such as cervical dystonia and blepharospasm, Dysport® has become widely used for cosmetic purposes. It has been FDA-approved for aesthetic use since 2009 and is now used in 57 countries worldwide. In a study published in the Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 87% of patients who received Dysport® injections reported a noticeable reduction in wrinkles.

How Does Dysport® Work?

Dysport® works similarly to BOTOX®. Both are neurotoxins derived from botulinum toxin type A, temporarily relaxing the muscles that cause wrinkles. When these muscles are relaxed, the skin above them smooths out, eliminating the appearance of lines and creases. Patients typically notice a difference within 48 to 72 hours, although the full results can take up to 2 weeks to appear.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dysport®?

Dysport® is ideal for men and women looking to soften a tense, aged appearance and regain a more vibrant, youthful look. The best results are achieved when Dysport® is administered as part of a regular maintenance regimen. Most patients schedule treatments every 4 months to keep their results fresh and smooth.

Can I Combine Dysport® with Other Treatments?

Yes! Dysport® is often combined with dermal fillers such as Restylane®, Juvederm®, Radiesse®, or Sculptra® Aesthetic®, as well as Ultherapy® for enhanced results. Combining these treatments can maximize the effects of your facial rejuvenation, as fillers help "fill in" deep lines while Dysport® smooths out the skin’s surface. If you’re considering a combination of treatments, Dr. Leong will develop a personalized plan that maximizes your results and ensures your aesthetic goals are met.
