How Dysport Works
Facial Assessment
Your provider evaluates facial muscle movement, expression patterns, and treatment goals. Specific muscles causing dynamic wrinkles are identified and injection points mapped.
Dysport Reconstitution
Dysport powder is reconstituted with saline to the provider's preferred concentration. Dilution affects spread, so experienced providers calibrate this to achieve precise results.
Injection
Using a fine needle, small amounts of Dysport are injected into targeted muscles. The full treatment takes 15-30 minutes depending on the number of areas.
Results & Follow-Up
Results begin appearing in 2-5 days and peak at 10-14 days. A 2-week follow-up allows for any touch-up if needed.

Dysport vs. Alternatives
| Treatment | Key Difference |
|---|---|
| DysportCurrent | $300–$800 per treatment area · 15–30 minutes · None |
| Botox | Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) stays more localized — better for precise areas. Dysport diffuses more widely — better for large, flat muscles. Both last 3-4 months and cost similarly per treatment. |
| Xeomin | Xeomin contains no accessory proteins ("naked" toxin), potentially reducing antibody resistance over time. If you've stopped responding to Botox, Xeomin may be worth trying before switching to Dysport. |
| Dermal Fillers | Dysport addresses dynamic wrinkles from muscle movement; fillers restore volume for static wrinkles and hollows. They are often combined for comprehensive facial rejuvenation. |

Frequently Asked Questions about Dysport
How is Dysport different from Botox?
Dysport uses a 3:1 unit ratio vs Botox — roughly 3 Dysport units equal 1 Botox unit. Its smaller molecular size causes slightly wider lateral diffusion (better for large areas like the forehead) and faster onset (2-5 days vs 5-7 for Botox). Total treatment cost is often similar because Dysport costs $4-8/unit vs $12-20/unit for Botox.
Does Dysport cost the same as Botox?
Per unit, Dysport is less expensive ($4-8 vs $12-20 for Botox). However, because of the 3:1 dosing ratio, total treatment costs often equalize. Both typically run $300-$800 per treated area.
How fast does Dysport work?
Dysport typically shows results in 2-5 days, often 1-2 days faster than Botox. Full effect develops within 10-14 days.
Which areas is Dysport best for?
Dysport's wider diffusion makes it ideal for the forehead and large flat muscle groups. For precision areas like crow's feet or delicate perioral lines, many providers prefer Botox for its more localized effect.
Is Dysport FDA-approved?
Yes — Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) is FDA-approved for glabellar lines and has been used in over 69 countries. It has the same safety profile as other botulinum toxin type A products.
