What Is Dysport?

Dysport is a popular injectable treatment designed to reduce the appearance of dynamic wrinkles—those formed from muscle movement over time. When administered by a qualified professional, Dysport can offer a natural, youthful look without the downtime typically associated with more invasive procedures.

How Dysport Works

Dysport works by targeting the underlying muscles responsible for facial expressions. When tiny doses of the product are injected into specific muscles, it blocks nerve signals that cause these muscles to contract. As a result, the muscles relax, leading to fewer visible wrinkles and lines on the surface of the skin. The most common areas treated with Dysport include:

Glabellar Lines

The vertical lines between the eyebrows, often referred to as “frown lines.”

Forehead Wrinkles

Horizontal lines that appear when raising the eyebrows.

Crows Feet

 The fine lines that radiate from the corners of the eyes when smiling or squinting.

What Are Dysport Injections Used For?

Dysport injections are primarily utilized for cosmetic purposes to enhance facial aesthetics, but their versatility extends beyond mere wrinkle reduction.

If done safely and with proper planning, weight loss surgery can be life-altering for these patients, restoring their body function and appearance.

Forehead Lines

Dysport is often used to treat horizontal lines across the forehead caused by repeated facial expressions. It relaxes the muscles responsible for these wrinkles, creating a smoother, more youthful appearance without affecting your ability to make natural expressions.

Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines)

These vertical lines between the eyebrows, commonly known as “11 lines,” can make you look angry or stressed. Dysport softens these lines by temporarily reducing muscle activity, giving you a more relaxed and refreshed look.

Crow's Feet

Crow's feet are the fine lines that form around the eyes from smiling or squinting. Dysport helps smooth these lines by targeting the muscles around the eyes, reducing the appearance of wrinkles without compromising your facial expressions.

Bunny Lines

Bunny lines are small wrinkles that form on the sides of the nose when you scrunch your face. Dysport can be injected into the muscles along the nose to soften these lines, providing a smoother look while still allowing for natural movement.

Jaw Slimming

For patients with a wide or square jawline, Dysport can be used to relax the masseter muscles, which are responsible for chewing. Over time, this can slim the appearance of the lower face, giving it a more contoured look.

Neck Bands (Platysmal Bands)

As we age, vertical neck bands can become more prominent due to muscle activity in the neck. Dysport helps relax these platysmal muscles, smoothing the bands and creating a firmer, more youthful neck appearance.

Lip Lines (Smoker’s Lines)

Small, vertical lines around the mouth, often called smoker’s lines, can form from repeated puckering of the lips. Dysport injections around the mouth area can help reduce these lines, giving lips a smoother and more rejuvenated look.

Gummy Smile

For those with a gummy smile, where the upper gums are more exposed when smiling, Dysport can relax the muscles around the upper lip, lowering the lip slightly to create a more balanced and natural-looking smile.

Brow Lift

Dysport can be used to achieve a subtle brow lift by relaxing the muscles that pull the eyebrows down. This gives a more open and refreshed appearance to the eyes without the need for surgery.

Botox Or Brow Lift? How To Tell What You Need-

Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)

Dysport is FDA-approved for the treatment of excessive sweating, particularly in the underarms, hands, and feet. It works by blocking the nerve signals that trigger sweat production, offering relief from this condition for several months.

Migraine Relief

Dysport is sometimes used as part of a treatment plan to help manage chronic migraines. By relaxing certain muscle groups, Dysport can reduce tension and the frequency of headaches in migraine sufferers.

TMJ Pain

For patients with TMJ disorders, Dysport can relieve jaw tension by relaxing the overactive muscles that contribute to pain and discomfort. This can also help reduce clenching and teeth grinding, improving jaw function.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Long Does Dysport Last?

Dysport is designed to provide long-lasting results, typically lasting anywhere from 3 to 6 months. Many patients find that their results gradually wear off, allowing them to plan for their next treatment appointment just as they notice the return of fine lines and wrinkles.

How Long Does It Take Dysport To Work?

Typically, patients begin to notice the effects of Dysport within 2 to 5 days after their injection. By the end of the first week, the full results can be appreciated, with optimal smoothing of lines and wrinkles achieved.

What's The Difference Between Dysport and Botox?

Dysport and Botox are both popular neuromodulators used to reduce the appearance of facial wrinkles and fine lines, but they have some key differences that may influence your choice. Both Dysport and Botox contain botulinum toxin type A, but they are formulated differently. Dysport has a smaller molecular size which may allow it to diffuse more easily into the surrounding tissue. This characteristic can sometimes result in a more natural look since it can cover a larger area with fewer injections.

Is Botox or Dysport Better For A Lip Flip?

Because Dysport has a smaller molecular structure, it spreads more easily than Botox. This can be advantageous in achieving a more blended and natural appearance, as it can affect a wider area with fewer injection points.

The way Dysport interacts with muscle receptors often lends a softer finish, which can be especially desirable for subtle enhancements like a lip flip. This allows for gentle lifting of the lip, without a stiff appearance.

Can I Treat My Gummy Smile With Dysport?

Yes, Dysport can be an effective solution for treating a gummy smile. A gummy smile is characterized by an excessive display of gum tissue when smiling, often due to hyperactive lip muscles. By strategically injecting Dysport into specific muscles around the upper lip, practitioners can relax these muscles, thereby reducing their activity when you smile and minimizing the exposure of gum tissue.
