Dysport: Wrinkle Reduction
Wrinkle Reduction
Dysport is a precision neuromodulator that addresses wrinkles and fine lines caused by everyday facial expression. When placed carefully, Dysport smooths visible lines while keeping the face expressive and natural. It’s most often used across the forehead, between the brows, and around the eyes. Results are subtle, balanced, and designed to look effortless.
How Dysport Works
Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator that temporarily reduces muscle activity in areas prone to dynamic wrinkles. By moderating repetitive movement, existing lines can soften and the progression of deeper wrinkles may be slowed, while natural facial expression is preserved. Many patients notice changes within several days, with results continuing to refine as the treatment settles.
Why We Love Dysport
Softens and Helps Prevent Expression Lines
Dysport reduces muscle activity that contributes to repeated creasing, helping visible lines soften and appear more relaxed. With consistent treatment, it can also help slow the progression of deeper expression lines over time.
Smoother Results with an Earlier Onset
Many patients report noticing softening within the first few days, with results continuing to refine over the following weeks. The change is gradual and natural, not abrupt.
Balanced, Expressive Results
Dosing and placement are guided by facial anatomy and expression patterns. The goal is smoothness without stiffness—results that look relaxed, balanced, and true to your face.
Quick and Minimally Invasive
Treatments typically take 15–30 minutes and require little interruption to daily life, making Dysport easy to maintain.
Complements Other Treatments
Dysport works well alongside treatments that support skin texture, tone, and volume, helping results look cohesive and intentional.
Treatment Expectations and Care
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours
to help reduce bruising risk.
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
beforehand when possible (increased circulation can contribute to bruising for some.)
Review meds/supplements
If medically appropriate, avoid aspirin, ibuprofen/NSAIDs, and blood-thinning supplements in advance. Never stop prescribed blood thinners or other prescription meds without guidance from your prescribing clinician.
Pause active skincare
Hold retinoids, exfoliating acids, and strong actives for several days prior on the areas being treated to reduce irritation.
Arrive with clean skin when possible
