What is Dysport?

Dysport product box

Dysport is an FDA-approved botulinum toxin type A injection that temporarily relaxes targeted muscles, reducing the appearance of dynamic wrinkles; those formed by repeated facial movements like frowning, squinting, and smiling.


What Are The Key Benefits of Dysport?

  • Reduces wrinkles and fine lines
  • Non-surgical with minimal downtime
  • Quick results; visible in just 2-3 days
  • Also used for jaw slimming & excessive sweating
  • More natural-looking results due to wider diffusion

Unlike dermal fillers, which add volume, Dysport works by relaxing the muscles, making it ideal for expression lines such as forehead wrinkles, frown lines, and crow’s feet.


How Does Dysport Work?

Dysport works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, preventing excessive contractions that cause wrinkles. This results in smoother skin, reduced fine lines, and a more youthful appearance.

  1. Injection into specific facial muscles → Dysport blocks nerve signals.
  2. Muscle relaxation occurs, reducing dynamic wrinkles.
  3. Skin appears smoother and younger, while still allowing natural expressions.
  4. Effects last for 3-4 months, after which follow-up treatments are required.

What Are The Popular Dysport Treatment Areas?

Dysport can be used across various facial and body areas to improve aesthetics and functionality.

Treatment AreaPurpose
Forehead WrinklesSoftens horizontal lines from frequent eyebrow movement.
Glabellar Lines (Frown Lines)Reduces the vertical lines between the eyebrows.
Crow’s FeetSmooths fine lines at the corners of the eyes.
Jaw Slimming (Masseter Reduction)Reduces the masseter muscles, creating a slimmer, V-shaped face.
Shoulder and Calf SlimmingHelps contour and reduce bulk in these muscle areas.
Hyperhidrosis (Excessive Sweating)Blocks sweat glands to prevent excessive sweating in the underarms, palms, or feet.

Dysport’s unique wider diffusion makes it particularly effective for treating larger areas like the forehead compared to Botox.


Dysport vs Botox: What’s the Difference?

Both Dysport and Botox are botulinum toxin treatments used to reduce wrinkles and fine lines. However, they have subtle differences:

FeatureDysportBotox
DilutionMore diluted, requiring higher units.More concentrated, fewer units needed.
SpreadDiffuses faster and wider, ideal for larger areas.Stays localised, better for precise injections.
Onset of results2-3 days7-9 days
Longevity3-4 months3-6 months
Cost per unitCheaper per unit, but more units required.More expensive per unit, but fewer needed.

Both treatments are effective, and the choice depends on your facial anatomy, goals, and doctor’s recommendation.
