Frown lines, Crow’s feet, and unwanted wrinkles around the forehead are common signs of aging, but thankfully, Dysport® treatment can temporarily smooth and remove lines! Rosalyn George, M.D., and her team have administered countless injectables treatments to improve our patients’ skin with leading-edge solutions. We’re ready to customize your treatment plan to your aesthetic goals!

What is Dysport®?

Dysport® is a prescription injectable used by men and women to treat stubborn frown lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet around the eyes, and other fine lines on the forehead. It’s an excellent, non-surgical option that reduces the effects of aging and helps restore a more youthful appearance!

Dysport® is a purified form of botulinum toxin, the active ingredient in Botox®, which has been shown to temporarily soften and remove moderate to severe frown lines. It does this by blocking the signal from the nerve to the muscles: this prevents contraction of the muscles that cause frown lines and reduces the appearance of movement lines.

History of Dysport®

Though Dysport® was approved by the FDA for use in the U.S. in 2009, it’s been used throughout Europe, and in a number of other countries, for years. Dysport® was first available in the U.K. in 1991, where it was used to treat muscle spasms, particularly those of the face and neck.

Dysport® was developed by Galderma and is eligible for credit towards their ASPIRE Galderma Rewards Program, a free program in which you receive credit towards purchases and earn money saving coupons on future treatments!

How Do Dysport® Injections Work?

At Wilmington Dermatology Center, we take extra steps to ensure that your Dysport® treatment provides natural-looking results.

  1. We evaluate which areas need to be treated based on your facial expressions.
  2. The areas are cleaned, then prepped with numbing cream as required or requested.
  3. A small needle is used to apply Dystport® injections. You may feel minor pinching.

This whole non-surgical procedure takes only about 10 minutes, with no downtime to speak of, though there may be temporary redness of the treatment areas. Patients begin to see results in 5 to 7 days, with full correction taking about 14 days. Results, however, can last anywhere from 3 to 4 months!

How Much Do Dysport® Injections Cost?

Dysport® treatment is priced based on the number of units used on the individual. How many injections you require is based on the areas you need treated and overall severity of wrinkles. Our providers can give you a quote based on a free consultation.

Some practices quote based on treatment area, but Wilmington Dermatology Center bases cost on what is actually used, so there’s no question that you’re getting the best value.

A note: Dysport® uses a different unit of measurement than similar products, which affects comparative cost per unit.

Dysport® Frequently Asked Questions

How long does Dysport® last?

You can expect Wilmington Dermatology Center Dysport® treatment results to last 3 to 4 months.

When will I see results?

Patients begin seeing results within 5 to 7 days, with full correction by the 14-day mark.

Is Dysport® better than other injectable brands or products?

Dysport® is a competitive brand name, but alternative brands such as Botox® and Xeomin® are also effective. Some individuals prefer a certain brand based on their own personal experience and results.

Can I get Dysport® the day before a big event?

Yes! A Dysport® treatment has virtually no downtime, other than redness at the injection site that resolves within hours.

Does Dysport® hurt?

Patients describe the injections with very small needles as pinching, which is generally easy to tolerate.

How does Dysport® get rid of my wrinkles?

Dysport® stops the contraction of your muscles that creates unwanted lines and wrinkles on your skin.

Does it really matter who does my Dysport®?

Although Dysport® is commonly used today, it’s important that you trust a highly trained specialist who is familiar with facial anatomy, advanced techniques, and any medical conditions that might prevent you from receiving the treatment. Inexperienced or non-medical “practitioners” often administer incorrect dosages or treat the wrong areas, resulting in undesirable, unnatural-looking outcomes.

How much does Dysport® cost?

Wilmington Dermatology Center charges based on the number of units used. A provider in our office will evaluate your areas of concern and provide you with an estimate during a free consultation. Call our office for per-unit pricing by brand name. (Dysport® units contain different amounts than related products, which affects per-unit pricing!)

What is the difference between Dysport® and Botox®?

Overall, Botox® and Dysport® are very similar. Both are a type of botulinum type A used to relax the muscles that cause frown lines and other overactive muscles of the face, like forehead lines and crow’s feet. Many patients simply find that they prefer one to the other for their desired outcomes.

What happens if I need more correction, or the injection didn’t quite work in an area?

Wilmington Dermatology Center prioritizes your results: If you ever need an adjustment after your treatment, we will gladly make the fix. Injecting can be an art, and every patient is different; we are happy make minor adjustments to meet your needs. See our Touch-Up Policy below.

Dysport® Touch-Up Policy

Wilmington Dermatology Center will offer a touch-up at no charge within 2 weeks of treatment! However, if you chose to use less units than recommended for your desired effect, there will be an additional charge when the touch-up is performed.
