Dysport^®

What Are the Benefits of Dysport^®?

Dysport^® is a neuromodulator made from a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, the same active ingredient found in BOTOX^® Cosmetic. When injected into targeted facial muscles, Dysport^® temporarily blocks the nerve signals that cause muscle contractions responsible for wrinkles. As these muscles relax, the overlying skin typically becomes smoother and more youthful in appearance.
Dysport^® can be an optimal choice for reducing:

• Frown lines (glabellar lines) between the eyebrows
• Forehead wrinkles
• Crow’s feet around the eyes
• Bunny lines on the nose
• Minor lines around the mouth and chin

In addition to its wrinkle-reducing capabilities, Dysport^® offers several appealing benefits:

• Quick treatment with minimal discomfort: Most sessions take just 10 to 20 minutes, and patients often describe the injections as a mild pinching sensation.
• Little to no downtime: You can usually return to most normal activities immediately after treatment.
• Natural-looking results: Dr. Petti’s precise injection technique helps achieve a more relaxed, refreshed appearance, not a “frozen” or overdone look.
• Preventative effects: Regular Dysport^® treatments can help slow the deepening of lines and wrinkles by limiting repetitive muscle movements over time.

Whether performed alone or combined with other non-surgical rejuvenation options, Dysport^® can be an effective part of a personalized treatment plan designed to help you maintain smoother, more radiant skin.

Who Is a Candidate for Dysport^® Treatment?

Dysport^® may be ideal for individuals who want to minimize dynamic facial wrinkles caused by repeated muscle activity. Candidates typically include men and women who:

• Notice frown lines, forehead wrinkles, or crow’s feet when making facial expressions
• Prefer a non-surgical, minimally invasive option for facial rejuvenation
• Desire subtle, natural improvement without significant downtime
• Are in good overall health and have realistic expectations

Most adults in their late 20s and older can benefit from Dysport^®, whether they’re seeking early wrinkle prevention or addressing existing expression lines. During a consultation, Dr. Petti will carefully evaluate your facial structure, skin condition, and aesthetic goals to determine if Dysport^®, or even another injectable treatment such as BOTOX^® Cosmetic or dermal fillers, can provide the most effective outcome.
Patients who are pregnant, nursing, or have certain neuromuscular conditions may be advised to postpone treatment. Dr. Petti places the highest priority on safety and will ensure your treatment plan is both appropriate and tailored to your individual needs.

How Long Do Dysport^® Results Last?

Dysport^® results typically become noticeable within two to five days after treatment, with the full smoothing effect developing in about one week. Many patients appreciate how quickly improvements appear compared to some other injectable options.
On average, the results from Dysport^® last three to four months, although individual longevity can vary depending on factors such as metabolism, muscle activity, and treatment area. With regular maintenance sessions, results can be easily sustained, helping you enjoy younger-looking skin year-round.
Many patients wonder how Dysport^® compares to BOTOX^® Cosmetic, as both products use the same active ingredient. While their effects and duration are quite similar, there are subtle differences:

• Dysport^® tends to diffuse slightly more once injected, which can make it a great option for treating larger areas such as the forehead.
• BOTOX^® Cosmetic may be preferred for smaller, more localized areas that require precise control.
• Some patients notice Dysport^® takes effect a bit faster, though both typically provide comparable longevity.

During your consultation, Dr. Petti can discuss whether Dysport^®, BOTOX^® Cosmetic, or a combination of both would best achieve your goals based on your unique facial anatomy and desired look.

How Much Does Dysport^® Treatment Cost?

The cost of Dysport^® treatment can vary from patient to patient and may be determined by several factors, including:

• The number of units used
• The specific areas being treated
• The complexity of your facial anatomy
• The expertise of your injector
• Whether Dysport^® is combined with other cosmetic treatments

Since every treatment is tailored to the individual, it’s best to receive a personalized quote during your consultation. Dr. Petti and her experienced team can provide a detailed treatment plan and cost estimate before your session begins.
While Dysport^® is generally considered a cost-effective rejuvenation option, patients should remember that experience and precision play a key role in achieving optimal results. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Petti helps ensure your injections are performed with the highest level of skill, safety, and artistry.
