Dysport® is a prescription injectable treatment used to temporarily soften or reduce moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Similar to BOTOX Cosmetic, Dysport is placed directly into targeted facial muscles, weakening the muscle activity that contributes to visible furrows and expression lines.
At TRU Medical Aesthetics & Wellness, Dysport treatments are performed by Shanni Sutton, MSN, FNP-C, a board-certified family nurse practitioner with advanced aesthetic training and a detail-oriented approach to injectable care. Patients in Lone Tree and Denver, CO, can receive personalized treatment designed to smooth lines while maintaining natural facial movement and expression.
What Is Dysport?
Dysport is a neuromodulator made from botulinum toxin type A, the same type of neurotoxin used in BOTOX Cosmetic. It is injected into specific muscles beneath a wrinkle or furrow to temporarily reduce contraction in that area.
Dysport is FDA-approved for the temporary improvement of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows, also called glabellar lines. These lines can make the face look tense, tired, angry, or older than the patient feels, even when the face is relaxed.
Although Dysport is best known for cosmetic frown line treatment, it also has medical uses. In medical settings, Dysport may be used for certain muscle spasm conditions and symptoms of cervical dystonia, including neck pain and abnormal head position.
What Dysport Can Treat
Cosmetically, Dysport injections are used to soften expression lines caused by repeated muscle movement. These wrinkles develop over time as facial muscles repeatedly contract and the skin gradually loses elasticity.
Dysport may be used to treat:
-
Frown lines between the eyebrows
-
Forehead furrows
-
Crow’s feet
-
Skin bands on the neck
A personalized approach is important because Dysport can spread differently than some other wrinkle relaxers. Treatment planning should account for facial anatomy, muscle strength, brow position, symmetry, and the patient’s desired level of softening.
What To Expect During Dysport Treatment
Using a very fine needle, Dysport is injected directly into the facial muscles that cause furrows and lines. No anesthetic is typically required, although the treatment area may be cooled or numbed with a topical anesthetic cream to improve comfort.
The appointment is usually quick, and patients can often return to normal daily activities shortly after treatment. Shanni provides aftercare instructions to help support the best possible result and reduce the risk of irritation.
Results are usually visible within a few days of treatment and typically last up to 4 months, although areas treated regularly may retain results longer for some patients. Dysport injections should be administered only by qualified medical professionals trained in facial anatomy and injectable techniques.
Who Is A Good Candidate For Dysport?
Dysport may be appropriate for adults seeking temporary improvement in the appearance of moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows. It may also be considered for other expression-related lines when recommended by a qualified provider.
Dysport may not be suitable for patients with certain conditions or concerns, including:
-
Allergies to Dysport or its ingredients
-
Allergy to cow’s milk protein
-
Inflammation or infection in the area to be injected
-
Very weak muscles in the treatment area
-
Droopy eyelids or sagging eyelid folds
-
Deep facial scars
-
Thick, oily skin
-
Wrinkles that cannot be smoothed when spread apart
-
Significant facial asymmetry
-
Certain surgical facial changes
Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a neuromuscular disease should discuss these concerns with a qualified medical provider before considering Dysport.
