Yes, Dysport is FDA-approved and widely regarded as safe when administered by a qualified professional. The most common side effects are generally mild and include temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or tenderness at the injection site. Some people also experience mild headaches or slight heaviness in the treated area. These effects usually subside within a day or two, allowing you to quickly return to your normal activities.

In rare cases, more serious side effects, such as allergic reactions, muscle weakness, breathing problems, or difficulty swallowing, may occur. It’s also possible, though uncommon, for Dysport to spread beyond the targeted area, leading to symptoms like drooping eyelids or uneven facial expressions. If you experience any of these more serious effects, it’s important to contact your dermatologist immediately.

Dysport works quickly! Most clients notice initial improvements within 2-3 days, with optimal results appearing after about a week. This rapid onset makes it a fantastic option if you’re looking for a refreshed look on short notice, whether for a big event or just to feel rejuvenated.

Results from Dysport typically last 3 to 4 months, depending on your skin, lifestyle, and how your body responds to the treatment. For many, scheduling regular treatments helps maintain a consistent, smooth look. We’ll work with you to create a treatment plan that aligns with your aesthetic goals.

Dysport is ideal for adults who want to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines and other dynamic wrinkles, such as crow’s feet and forehead lines. This treatment is especially appealing if you’re looking for a natural, refreshed look that preserves your facial expressions. Dysport’s unique formula allows for a softer, more blended effect, so you can maintain a smooth, youthful appearance without looking overly “frozen” or stiff.

However, Dysport may not be suitable for everyone. Those with certain muscle or medical conditions, such as myasthenia gravis, ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease), or Lambert-Eaton syndrome, should avoid this treatment, as it could worsen these conditions. Also, if you have had allergic reactions to cow’s milk protein or other botulinum toxin products in the past, such as Myobloc, Botox, or Xeomin, Dysport may not be recommended.

During your consultation, we’ll take the time to carefully review your health history, discuss your cosmetic goals, and evaluate your skin to ensure that Dysport is the best and safest choice for you. Our priority is to help you achieve beautiful, natural-looking results while prioritizing your safety and comfort every step of the way.

Dysport and Botox are both FDA-approved botulinum toxin injections that contain muscle relaxant injectables to treat dynamic wrinkles. However, Dysport tends to spread more easily in the treatment area, making it a great choice for larger areas like the forehead. This can also mean fewer injections for similar results, making Dysport a popular option for clients seeking a quick, natural-looking refresh.

Both Dysport and Botox generally last about 3 to 4 months, although some people find that Dysport may have a slightly faster onset, with noticeable results within 2-3 days, compared to Botox, which typically shows full effects within 5-7 days. When it comes to choosing between the two, it often depends on your specific goals, the areas being treated, and your body’s unique response to each product.
