Smooth, natural-looking results with Dysport injections
If you haven’t heard of Dysport, you’ve likely heard of her older sister, Botox.
They’re both in the family of wrinkle relaxers or neuromodulators, which work to relax dynamic muscle facial movements that cause wrinkles. Dysport® is made from a protein called botulinum toxin type A, much like the protein found in her big sis, Botox.
Like Botox, Dysport® is injected into the muscles of the face, typically in the forehead, around the eyes, and between the eyebrows. The treatment works by blocking the signals that tell the muscles to contract, which in turn causes the wrinkles to relax and smooth out.
At Metro Medspa, we tailor Dysport injections to your face, not the other way around. Whether you're managing early lines or softening deeper creases, our providers help you achieve a natural, rested look — without losing your expressions.
Dysport is a botulinum toxin injectable that treats dynamic wrinkles (the kind that show up when you smile, frown, or raise your eyebrows). By temporarily blocking nerve signals to specific muscles, Dysport prevents repetitive movements that lead to fine lines and creases.
Dysport appointments are quick and easy. After a brief consult, your provider will cleanse the skin and inject small amounts of the product into the targeted muscles. You may feel a slight pinch, but most patients find it very tolerable: no numbing required.
The full appointment takes 15–30 minutes, and there’s no recovery time needed. You may experience mild redness or swelling at the injection sites, which typically fades within a few hours.
Dysport is FDA-approved for moderate to severe frown lines but is commonly used to treat:
It’s a great option for patients seeking preventive or corrective care that maintains a natural appearance.
Dysport offers fast, effective wrinkle reduction with a light touch. It starts working within 7-14 days — a bit faster than some other neuromodulators — and gives a softer, less “frozen” look.
It’s ideal if you want:
Most healthy adults looking to soften dynamic wrinkles are great candidates. If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neurological conditions, you should avoid neuromodulators.
You’re a good candidate for Dysport® if you:
It’s also best to inform your injector about any prescribed medications, over-the-counter drugs, and nutritional supplements you are taking, as well as your complete medical history, for them to make an accurate assessment and customized treatment plan.
There’s no real recovery with Dysport. You can return to work or social plans immediately. Avoid lying down, engaging in heavy workouts, and rubbing the treated area for approximately 4 hours after treatment.
Mild side effects, such as swelling, bruising, or tenderness, are possible but usually resolve quickly. If you have any concerns, our team is here to help.
The effects of Dysport® have a fast onset after the procedure and can last for three to four months. Dysport® is also a great option for patients who are on the fence about getting treated with neurotoxins or injectables
A Dysport® injection offers the following benefits:
The effects of Dysport® typically last for about three to four months, after which time the treatment must be repeated to maintain the desired results. The treatment is generally considered safe and effective, with few side effects reported.
Common side effects of Dysport® include pain or discomfort at the injection site, swelling or redness, and a mild headache. These side effects are usually mild and temporary, and typically resolve on their own within a few days.
At Metro, we’re not about cookie-cutter injections. Our providers are trained to assess your unique features and create a customized Dysport plan that complements your natural expression. If you’re looking for the right treatment to fight the signs of aging, neurotoxins are a good option. Selecting the right one tailored to your skin’s needs can provide the best results.
