Why Choose Dysport

Like BOTOX, Dysport is a neuromodulator made from botulinum toxin type A. When administered by an expert injector, it temporarily relaxes specific facial muscles, preventing them from contracting as strongly, minimizing the appearance of moderate to severe wrinkles, especially between the brows (glabellar lines). Unlike more generalized anti-wrinkle approaches, Dysport targets only the areas you want improved with natural-looking results.

Benefits of Dysport Treatments

Some of the standout advantages include:

  • Fast onset – Many patients begin to see softening of lines within 2 to 3 days, which is quicker than BOTOX.
  • Natural appearance – Dr. Lopes and our registered nurse injector, Denise Krall, take conservative approaches so you get smoother lines without freezing facial movements.
  • Minimal downtime  – You can typically return to your normal day immediately after treatment.
  • Flexible maintenance – The effect generally lasts 3 to 4 months, and periodic touch-ups help maintain your look over time.

Because the effectiveness and safety of Dysport depend heavily on injector skill, choosing a provider with deep facial anatomy knowledge is key; that’s where the experience of Dr. Lopes and our expert nurse injectors comes into play.

Candidates for Dysport Treatments

Ideal candidates for Dysport treatments are healthy adults seeking to reduce moderate to severe expression lines, especially vertical frown lines between the eyes. It’s important that you have realistic expectations, no neuromuscular conditions that could interfere with the treatment, and disclose any history of facial surgery, BOTOX or Dysport use, medications, and any sensitivities. Some patients choose to combine Dysport with dermal filler injections as part of a liquid facelift.

What To Expect During Treatment

After discussing your goals and reviewing your medical history, Dr. Lopes or one of our other injectors will map out injection points tailored to your anatomy. The actual injection process is relatively quick—often under 15 minutes—using very fine needles and optional topical numbing for comfort. You may feel brief pinching or pressure, but most patients tolerate it well.

Immediately afterward, you may experience slight redness or puffiness at the injection sites, which typically subside within a few hours to a day. You won’t need downtime, and for most people, the full smoothing effects begin to appear over the next week.

Results

Many patients notice changes within just a few days, with peak results appearing by about 10 to 14 days. The effects typically last between 3 and 4 months, although some individuals may maintain the benefit longer depending on muscle activity, metabolic rate, and other factors. Consistent follow-up treatments can help your results remain smooth and fresh.
