What Dysport Is Used For
💉
✨ Cosmetic Uses
Reduces appearance of wrinkles, especially frown lines between the eyebrows (glabellar lines).
Also used for forehead lines, crow’s feet, and other facial expression lines when administered by a professional.
Results are temporary, typically lasting about 3–4 months, after which repeat treatment is needed for maintenance.
🧠 Medical Uses
Treats cervical dystonia (painful, involuntary neck muscle contractions).
Helps manage muscle spasticity or stiffness in arms, legs, or other muscles.
In some places, it’s also used for excessive underarm sweating (hyperhidrosis).
How Dysport Works
Dysport blocks the release of a nerve chemical (acetylcholine) that tells muscles to contract. By reducing muscle activity where injected, the skin above those muscles looks smoother and lines soften.
This effect starts a few days after injection and gradually takes full effect over about 1–2 weeks.
What to Expect
🕒 Procedure
Quick treatment (usually 15–30 minutes).
Minimal downtime; most people return to normal activities soon after.
⏱ Results
Noticeable effects typically appear in 2–5 days and last around 3–4 months.
⚠️ Side Effects & Risks
Common, mild side effects
Redness, swelling, or bruising at injection site
Headache
Temporary soreness or mild muscle weakness near treated area
Less common but serious risks
Dysport’s toxin can, in rare cases, spread beyond the injection site and cause symptoms like:
Drooping eyelids
Muscle weakness away from treated area
Difficulties with breathing or swallowing
If these occur, seek medical help right away.
Important: Only licensed medical professionals should administer Dysport.
📌 Before & After Tips
🔹 Before Treatment
Discuss your medical history and medications with your provider.
Avoid blood thinners (like aspirin) before injections if advised.
🔹 After Treatment
Avoid strenuous exercise for at least 24 hours.
Try not to rub or massage the treated area (to avoid unwanted toxin spread)
