Learn MoreStubborn frown lines can make you look angry or exaggerate your features in a way you don’t intend. These lines can be among the most difficult wrinkles to soften, as the facial muscles between the brows are strong and complex.
Dysport® injections are a potent, minimally invasive treatment designed to target frown lines, providing superior wrinkle smoothing while maintaining a natural-looking facial aesthetic. Patients love Dysport® for its fast-acting effects, subtle finish, and ability to soften unwanted lines while still allowing for normal facial expressions. Results may begin to appear as early as 24 hours after treatment, helping you look more relaxed and refreshed.

Dysport® is a fast-acting, FDA-approved cosmetic injectable of abobotulinumtoxinA, an acetylcholine release inhibitor that works by temporarily blocking muscle contraction of the forehead muscles. Similar to BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport® is a minimally invasive treatment for dynamic wrinkles, specifically the glabellar lines (sometimes called frown lines) that appear between the eyebrows.
Dysport® offers powerful wrinkle-relaxing effects while maintaining natural facial movement. Other benefits of Dysport® include:
Dysport® is a specialized injectable treatment for moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows, also known as glabellar lines. Glabellar lines are a type of dynamic wrinkle, or a type of wrinkle caused by facial movement rather than skin laxity. Unlike static wrinkles, which are visible creases caused by collagen loss and skin damage, dynamic wrinkles are caused by muscle movement beneath the skin and disappear or reduce when the face is relaxed.
Dysport® works by inhibiting the powerful forehead muscles that cause frown lines. By reducing involuntary muscle contractions beneath the skin’s surface, Dysport® minimizes the visibility of these frown lines when you make facial expressions.
Some patients naturally make more expressive facial movements, while others may be generally predisposed to deeper frown lines. Dysport® targets these concerns, improving and softening the appearance of frown lines while preserving natural facial expression. The result is a smoother, more rejuvenated look.
If pesky frown lines make you appear angry or more aged, you may be a good candidate for Dysport® injections. Ideal candidates for Dysport® injections are also:
Dysport® is a powerful neuromodulator that can soften frown lines with fewer units, quicker appointment times, and minimal downtime. Widely recognized for its safe, effective, and minimally invasive results, Dysport® can also offer preventative benefits when used regularly under the care of an expert physician. By limiting repeated muscle contractions in the treatment area, these injections can slow the development of deeper lines over time.
Due to this, Dysport® may be a great option for younger patients looking to address early signs of aging before they become more noticeable. Many patients start their treatment in their early 30s to soften existing lines, preserve more youthful-looking skin, and delay the need for facial rejuvenation surgery, like a brow lift.
The best way to determine if you are a candidate for Dysport® injections is to schedule a
consultation with one of our experienced aestheticians.
Whether you’ve had previous neuromodulator injections, such as BOTOX® Cosmetic, you’ll need to schedule a consultation with one of our expert injection specialists. They will examine your face, the extent of your frown lines, and your overall goals to determine if Dysport® is the best treatment for you. From there, our team will create a customized treatment plan that details the number of sessions, the appropriate amount of units for your needs, and the frequency of sessions required to maintain your results.
The Dysport® procedure is a quick, in-office treatment that can be completed in as little as 20 minutes. Many previous Dysport® patients even schedule it during their lunch breaks or between errands.
To begin your procedure, you will be asked to arrive early to your appointment so your technician can apply numbing cream to the treatment area. Once you are sufficiently numb, your provider will make precise injections into the various brow muscles using a small, thin needle. Most patients report feeling only a small pinprick.
The total injection time is typically about 10 to 20 minutes. Much of the appointment time is spent allowing the topical anesthetic to take effect. Once you are done, you may be given a cold compress to help with any pain or swelling.
Dysport® injections require little recovery time and minimal discomfort, with most patients returning to normal activities within a few hours or, for some, immediately resuming their routines. You may experience temporary side effects, such as swelling, redness, or bruising at the injection sites. Applying light, cold compresses can reduce any discomfort during recovery.
To ensure ideal results, our team will provide you with detailed aftercare instructions and Dysport® tips, which may include the following:
Any bruising should improve within a few days. Makeup may be used to conceal discoloration, as long as it is applied gently without irritating the treated area.
One of the primary benefits that patients love most about Dysport® is how quickly results appear. Most patients see their smoother, more relaxed look in two to three days, with some seeing visible improvement in as little as 24 hours. Results typically last several months, as many patients enjoy their refreshed appearance for around five to six months before maintenance treatment.
The amount of Dysport® needed varies from patient to patient, depending on muscle size, muscle strength, and the desired results. Additionally, Dysport® units are distinct from other injectables and cannot be compared to other botulinum toxin products.
While every treatment plan is different, first-time Dysport® patients may need between 30 and 50 units to smooth frown lines. During your consultation, our team will evaluate your facial anatomy and recommend the appropriate amount to help achieve natural-looking, balanced results.
Dysport® has a smaller molecular structure than other neuromodulators, allowing it to spread more rapidly to the target muscles. This blocks muscle contractions to help smooth wrinkles faster, allowing patients to enjoy the full results for longer rather than waiting for the product to take effect.
Aside from typical bruising, other potential, less common side effects of Dysport® include:
However, these side effects are generally rare, treatable, and temporary.
Yes, Dysport® is commonly paired with other minimally invasive or non-invasive services at our Med Spa, including the following:
