What is Dysport?

Dysport is FDA-approved to treat moderate to severe glabellar lines, the wrinkles between your eyebrows also known as frown lines or ‘11’ lines.

Made with abobotulinumtoxinA, Dysport is a neuromodulator that smooths these forehead lines by paralyzing or “freeing” the tiny underlying muscles in the face that cause glabellar lines. Once these muscles are immobilized, the wrinkles are unable to form, resulting in a smooth surface between the brows even when facial expressions are made. The botulinum toxin used in Dysport consists of a relatively smaller protein. This means the serum is thinner and easily spreadable, so results can typically be seen in only 2-3 days.

Dysport vs. Botox

Dysport and Botox are both injectables that are used to treat forehead lines between the eyebrows. They are also both made from botulinum toxin type A, which is a neuromodulator that temporarily paralyzes the muscles under the skin. Because Dysport is more diluted, it provides a reliably softer, extremely natural wrinkle-free look. This thinner solution also allows it to spread more quickly in the treatment area for faster results on average than Botox.

What can Dysport do?

If you’re ready to be free from the frown, Dysport can give you a smooth, even look that lasts for months. Many of our Ponte Vedra Beach Dysport patients are tired of feeling like they have an angry or frustrated appearance because of their forehead lines. With just a single appointment, your glabellar lines could be gone. Our Ponte Vedra Beach Dysport injections offer the following benefits:

Reduced or eliminated appearance of glabellar lines, forehead lines, or eleven lines

Am I a candidate for Dysport?

Dysport is a great candidate for women and men, usually over 25, who are looking to correct noticeable glabellar lines. If topical treatments are not solving your problem but you’re not interested in surgery, this treatment is the ideal solution. Good candidates for Ponte Vedra Beach Dysport injections are typically seeking:

A way to address mild to severe glabellar lines
Alternative options if Botox has not provided great results
Quick results with minimal downtime
Prevention; this treatment may help keep frown lines from getting worse

Consultation and Preparation

During a consultation with a Contoura specialist, we will examine your skin, discuss your aesthetic goals, and create a treatment plan to help you achieve them. If Dysport is a good option for you, we will review your medical and aesthetic treatment history to ensure there is nothing that might be a concern. You will also be given detailed instructions on how to prepare for the treatment, which may include pausing certain medications and supplements.

Procedure

Dysport is administered through very fine needles, so there should be little to no pain. Prior to the injections, we can use a mild numbing cream or ice the area for added comfort. Your skilled injector will then make multiple injections in between and slightly along the top of your eyebrows. Typically, appointments only take 10 to 15 minutes.

Results, Recovery, and Aftercare

You may have some minor redness or swelling at the injection site, but this should disappear within a few hours. After your appointment, you will want to avoid lying down or bending over for several hours so the serum does not migrate to the face. Improvements in your glabellar lines are usually noticed within 24 to 48 hours, and one week post-treatment you should see optimal results.
