What is Dysport?
Dysport is an injectable prescription botulinum toxin type A medication. It is proven to smooth the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the brows without changing the look or movement of the rest of the face. The facial muscles that have not been treated with Dysport continue to move normally. Dysport minimizes lines and wrinkles – not your expressions.
Am I a candidate for Dysport?
Dynamic wrinkles are among the earliest signs of aging to appear on your face, formed by the movement of expressive muscles. If you have dynamic wrinkles around your eyes or on your forehead, or vertical frown lines between the brows, you may be a good candidate for Dysport.

Dysport FAQ
How is Dysport different than BOTOX?
Both Dysport and BOTOX are used to temporarily smooth lines and wrinkles by preventing the muscles that cause them from contracting. However, the two products differ in some ways, including:
- Molecule size: Dysport contains smaller molecules than BOTOX, which may be beneficial in some cases, allowing the Dysport to work faster.
- Diffusion: Dysport diffuses more than BOTOX, spreading to a broader area after injection. This diffusion may be beneficial when treating larger areas, but not advised for treating smaller areas where more precision is required, or areas containing thicker muscles.
Do younger people have Dysport injections?
Yes. Dysport is not only for aging faces. In fact, wrinkles in the forehead and frown lines between the brows are not a result of aging. These lines and wrinkles are caused by repeated muscle movements of an expressive face.
Is Dysport approved by the FDA?
Yes, this product is FDA-approved and has undergone many clinical trials. Dysport is a safe medication when administered by our skilled and experienced medical professionals at Comprehensive Laser & Aesthetics.
How soon will I see results after treatment?
Most people who receive Dysport injections see improvement in only two to three days after treatment.
How long do Dysport injections last?
Based on clinical trials reported by the manufacturer, results with Dysport injections can last for up to four months. At that point, you will need to return for another treatment session to maintain your more youthful look.
