Aging doesn’t have to mean giving up on your skin’s appearance. Dysport is a well-tested injectable medication that relaxes facial muscles to lessen the look of fine lines and wrinkles. Clients who use Dysport have the opportunity to turn back the clock on their appearance, softening signs of aging and building self-confidence.
How Dysport Works
Dysport, like its predecessor Botox, is an injectable medication that contains lab-created botulinum toxin. Botulinum is a naturally occurring neurotoxin that relaxes muscles. In safe, small doses, this medication helps to reduce the facial muscle movements that lead to wrinkles.
A qualified professional injects Dysport under the skin in targeted areas. The medication enters the muscles, where it blocks nerve signals. The skin is less likely to bunch, twist, and move in ways that create skin wrinkles.
Dysport Vs. Botox
Dysport and Botox are closely related medications. They both use botulinum toxin to relax facial muscles that cause lines and wrinkles. The primary difference between these two injectable medications is that Dysport is less concentrated than Botox, providing a more extensive treatment area. With Dysport, you need fewer injections to cover the same skin area. While Dysport may not last as long as Botox, it is an efficient choice for larger areas.
Dysport also works faster than Botox. Botox’s results take time to develop, but Dysport’s show immediately. You can enjoy a refreshed appearance without waiting days or weeks for the medication to take full effect.
Applications of Dysport
Dysport is FDA-approved to treat glabellar lines (vertical lines between the brows). Clinicians may also use it in specific off-label applications.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Dysport?
Men and women between 18 and 64 years of age can receive many benefits from Dysport injections. Most recipients are over the age of 30.
Clients who are not pregnant or nursing are eligible to receive Dysport and other facial injectables. After pregnancy and breastfeeding, clients need clearance from a medical doctor.
Dysport is also helpful for people who have been using Botox for some time but have developed a tolerance to its effects.
Enjoying the Benefits of Dysport
If you feel uneasy about your appearance, especially the vertical lines that may have developed between your brows, look into the benefits of Dysport. Your aesthetician or aesthetic nurse practitioner can help answer your questions about whether Dysport can help you feel better about what you see in the mirror.
Facial injectables may be intimidating, but they are low-risk and high-reward. Consider facial injectables when planning treatments to improve your appearance and quality of life.
