FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Dysport and how does it work?

Dysport is an FDA-approved botulinum toxin injectable treatment that relaxes specific muscles to smooth moderate to severe facial wrinkles, including frown lines and crow’s feet. Dysport works by blocking nerve signals that cause repetitive muscle movement, helping muscles relax so the skin appears smoother and more youthful.

What areas can Dysport treat?

Dysport injections are commonly used to treat frown lines (also called glabellar lines), forehead lines, crow’s feet, and other facial wrinkles. Dysport can also treat muscle spasms, excessive sweating, and certain medical conditions under a doctor’s guidance.

How long does Dysport take to work?

Many patients see visible improvements in 2–3 days, with full results typically appearing within 10–14 days. Dysport helps reduce muscle activity that causes wrinkles, giving the skin a softer, refreshed appearance.

Does Dysport hurt?

Dysport injections are quick and use a very small needle, so most patients experience only mild discomfort. You may notice temporary redness, swelling, or tenderness at the injection site, which usually fades shortly after treatment.

Are there side effects with Dysport?

Side effects are usually mild, such as headache, soreness, or swelling at the treated site. Serious side effects are rare but may include trouble breathing, difficulty swallowing, blurred vision, muscle weakness, drooping eyebrows, or an allergic reaction. Seek medical help right away if symptoms worsen. Always review important safety information with your doctor before undergoing treatment.

Who should not receive Dysport?

Patients who are allergic to botulinum toxin products, cow’s milk protein, or have certain medical conditions such as myasthenia gravis should not receive Dysport. It’s also not recommended for children, pregnant patients, or those with a history of severe reactions. Discuss all medications, surgeries, and medical history with your doctor before treatment.

How long do Dysport results last?

Dysport results are temporary and typically last 3–4 months. To maintain results, many patients schedule repeat treatments when muscle movement begins to return.

What should I avoid after Dysport?

Avoid rubbing the injection site, strenuous exercise, or other dangerous activities for at least 24 hours. Follow your provider’s instructions and avoid excessive heat and pressure on the treated areas to support proper results.

Is Dysport the same as Botox?

Dysport and Botox injections are both botulinum toxin products used for cosmetic injectable treatments, but they differ in formulation and how they spread in the muscle.

What should I tell my provider before treatment?

Before your Dysport procedure, inform your doctor about all medications, new medicines, medical conditions, and previous reactions to cosmetic treatments. This helps avoid complications such as muscle weakness, sore throat, or difficulty breathing and ensures Dysport is the safest option for your needs.
