Dysport® is an injectable treatment that, like BOTOX®, limits the muscle contractions that produce facial wrinkles and creases. However, there are some differences between the two.

Dysport: A Subtle, Natural Look

Many of our patients love the look Dysport achieves because it’s so subtle and natural-looking. It allows for more expressiveness while smoothing lines and wrinkles, creases on the forehead, frown lines, crow’s feet, and worry lines between the eyebrows.

Dysport vs. BOTOX

Both Dysport and BOTOX are neuromodulators with similar active ingredients, but they have been developed with slightly different formulas. The thinner formula in Dysport is often the injectable of choice for those who want a more subtle, natural-looking result. Dysport injections are known to last longer, work faster, get a more relaxed and natural look, and allow more facial expressiveness to be maintained. However, because of the thinner formula, more Dysport may be required than BOTOX.

Dysport is about 20% less expensive than BOTOX, but may require more of the product
BOTOX may take longer to show noticeable results than Dysport
Both Dysport and BOTOX require a touch-up after a few months
Dysport’s formula is thinner and diffuses more quickly, creating a more natural look for some patients

Dysport Treatment: What to Expect

A Dysport treatment takes only a few minutes to perform. Before the injections, we will cleanse and prep your skin. The locations of the injections and how many you receive will depend on the depth of your lines, wrinkles, and creases.

Your face will be cleansed and the injections will be administered into targeted areas of the face. Dysport injections are almost completely painless. The needle we use is thin and feels like a small pinch as the Dysport is injected. After the injections are complete, we will ask you to make different facial expressions so the Dysport can settle properly.

The care with which we perform injections makes the difference in results. At the Beck Aesthetic Surgery medspa, all procedures are performed under the guidance of Dr. Joel Beck, one of the most accomplished plastic surgeons in the area.

Preparing for a Dysport treatment

No special preparation is needed to be ready for Dysport injections. We recommend not drinking alcohol or taking blood-thinning medications for 48 hours before your appointment, as these can cause bruising. We suggest bringing a photo of yourself from 5 to 10 years to help your injector understand your aesthetic goals and have a good idea of your youthful appearance.

When will I see my results?

You will begin to see results develop over two to three days. Complete results will take about a week to develop. Once your final results are visible, you will be able to enjoy this youthful, refreshed effect for three to five months–in the case of less severe wrinkles, possibly longer.

Over time, your results will begin to fade. At this point, return for another brief treatment. As you have consistent sessions, you may notice you require smaller doses and less frequent treatments.
