How Does DYSPORT Work?

Facial expressions are created when nerves release the neurotransmitter acetylcholine, signaling facial muscles to contract. Over time, repeated contractions from smiling, frowning, squinting, and concentrating cause the overlying skin to fold in the same locations, gradually forming dynamic wrinkles such as frown lines, forehead lines, and crow’s feet. As collagen and elastin naturally decline with age, these expression lines become more noticeable and may remain visible even when your face is at rest.

DYSPORT is an FDA-approved neuromodulator that contains botulinum toxin type A. Once injected into facial muscles, it temporarily blocks the release of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction, reducing the muscle activity responsible for wrinkles. The targeted muscles relax while the surrounding untreated muscles continue functioning normally. As muscle contractions decrease, the overlying skin smooths, softening existing lines and helping prevent them from becoming deeper.

What Does DYSPORT Treat?

DYSPORT is an effective treatment for dynamic wrinkles, such as:

  • Moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows
  • Horizontal forehead lines
  • Crow’s feet around the eyes
  • Bunny lines on the bridge of the nose
  • Chin dimpling and an uneven “orange peel” texture
  • Neck bands caused by overactive platysma muscles

How Is DYSPORT Performed?

Your treatment begins with a consultation, during which your injector evaluates your facial anatomy, muscle movement, medical history, and goals. You’ll be asked to smile, frown, raise your eyebrows, and make other expressions so the specific muscles creating your wrinkles can be identified. Based on this assessment, a personalized injection plan is created.

Your skin is cleansed, and precise injection points are carefully marked if needed. Using a fine needle, your injector administers small amounts of DYSPORT into the targeted facial muscles. The procedure typically takes only a few minutes, and once complete, you’ll receive personalized aftercare instructions before returning to your normal daily routine.

What Are the Potential Side Effects?

As with any injectable, DYSPORT may cause temporary side effects, most of which are mild and resolve on their own. These may include:

  • Mild redness at the injection sites
  • Swelling or slight tenderness
  • Minor bruising
  • Pinpoint bleeding immediately after injection
  • Headache during the first day or two
  • Temporary tightness or heaviness in the treated area
  • Mild asymmetry while the product is settling
  • Temporary eyelid or eyebrow drooping (uncommon)
  • Dry eyes or excessive tearing (depending on the treatment area)
  • Rare allergic reactions or muscle weakness outside the treatment area

Most people return to work and normal daily activities immediately after treatment, with little to no downtime. Mild redness or swelling typically subsides within a few hours, while bruising, if it occurs, may last several days. To help optimize your results, avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area, strenuous exercise, excessive heat exposure, alcohol, and lying flat for several hours after your appointment. Following your injector’s aftercare instructions can help reduce unwanted product migration.

FAQs

One advantage of DYSPORT is that many people begin noticing improvements within 2 to 3 days. The results continue to develop over the following several days, with the full effect visible within about 2 weeks. If you’re preparing for a wedding, vacation, or special event, scheduling your appointment at least 2 weeks in advance gives your results time to fully settle.

Most people maintain smoother, more relaxed facial muscles for 3 to 4 months. Your results may last longer or wear off sooner depending on your metabolism, muscle strength, the treatment area, and the amount of product used. As muscle activity returns, expression lines will slowly reappear.

For most patients, maintenance sessions every 3 to 4 months helps preserve results. DYSPORT should not be administered more frequently than every 90 days. Your injector will recommend a schedule based on your facial anatomy, goals, and how your muscles respond over time.
