FDA-approved neuromodulator for frown lines and dynamic wrinkles — natural, refreshed results with no downtime.
Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) is a prescription neuromodulator that temporarily reduces the muscle activity responsible for dynamic wrinkles. It works by blocking nerve signals to targeted facial muscles — relaxing the repetitive movements that etch lines into skin over time.
Unlike Botox, Dysport is formulated to diffuse slightly more broadly in tissue, making it particularly effective for larger treatment areas like the glabella and forehead. Clinically proven to deliver results in as little as 2–3 days, with effects lasting up to 4–5 months.
Initial smoothing visible faster than most neuromodulators
Quick in-office visit with no preparation required
Long-lasting results with maintenance every 4 months
Return to work and daily activities immediately after
Dysport is ideal for adult men and women under age 65 seeking a non-surgical solution for dynamic wrinkles — lines formed by repeated facial expressions.
The “11” frown lines between the eyebrows — Dysport’s FDA-approved primary indication, with proven efficacy for moderate to severe cases.
Horizontal lines from brow-lifting. Dysport’s broader diffusion profile makes it especially effective across wider surface areas.
Fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes from smiling and squinting — treated off-label with excellent patient satisfaction.
Men have stronger facial muscles requiring higher unit dosing. Our providers customize every plan for natural, masculine results.
Younger patients in their late 20s–30s use Dysport to prevent lines from deepening before they become static wrinkles.
Patients who haven’t achieved their ideal result with Botox often find Dysport’s diffusion profile delivers a smoother, more even result.
Both contain botulinum toxin type A and are FDA-approved for glabellar lines. Clinical studies show meaningful differences in onset, diffusion, and ideal use cases.

Dysport is a quick, comfortable in-office procedure with no recovery period needed.
Your provider reviews your medical history, evaluates your facial anatomy, and confirms you’re a good candidate for Dysport.
Using an ultra-fine needle, Dysport is injected into targeted muscle groups. Most patients describe a mild pinching sensation — no anesthesia required.
Zero downtime. Avoid strenuous exercise, saunas, and excessive heat for 24 hours. Do not rub or massage the treated area for 4 hours.
Initial smoothing appears in 2–3 days. Full results by day 7–10. A 2-week follow-up is available if a touch-up is desired.
Effects last 3–5 months. Regular maintenance helps sustain results and — over time — may require fewer units as muscles stay relaxed.
