Dysport

Smooth frown lines, forehead wrinkles, and other dynamic facial lines with Dysport in New York City. Our board-certified dermatologists personalize every treatment to create natural-looking results with minimal downtime and refreshed, expressive outcomes.

What is Dysport?

Dysport®️ (abobotulinumtoxinA) is an FDA-approved neuromodulator that temporarily relaxes targeted facial muscles to soften dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated expressions. Like other botulinum toxin treatments, Dysport helps reduce the appearance of lines while preserving natural facial movement when performed by an experienced injector.

  • Creates natural-looking facial rejuvenation without surgery
  • Helps prevent expression lines from becoming deeper over time
  • Can improve bunny lines, lip flip, chin dimpling, and lower face concerns
  • Treats excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) in appropriate patients
  • May be used for medical conditions such as TMJ, muscle spasm, and cervical dystonia when clinically appropriate
  • Quick, in-office treatment with little to no downtime

What to Expect

Pre-Appointment

Avoid alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications for 24 hours before treatment to help minimize bruising.

Appointment

Small amounts of Dysport are injected into carefully selected muscles using a very fine needle. Treatment typically takes 10–20 minutes, with most patients describing only mild, brief discomfort.

Aftercare

Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas, strenuous exercise, and excessive heat for 24 hours. Follow your dermatologist’s aftercare instructions to achieve the best possible results.

What to Expect

How long do the results last?

Results generally last 3–4 months, although duration varies depending on the treatment area, dosage, and individual muscle activity.

What’s the difference between Dysport and Botox?

Both Dysport and Botox are FDA-approved neuromodulators that temporarily relax facial muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles. They work similarly, but they have slightly different formulations, dosing, and diffusion characteristics. During your consultation, your dermatologist will recommend the product that best matches your anatomy, treatment goals, and previous response to neuromodulators.

Can Dysport be combined with other treatments?

Yes. Dysport is frequently combined with dermal fillers, laser treatments, skin resurfacing procedures, and medical-grade skincare as part of a personalized facial rejuvenation plan.

What should I avoid after treatment?

For the first 24 hours, avoid strenuous exercise, rubbing the treated areas, excessive heat exposure, and lying flat immediately after treatment, unless instructed otherwise by your physician.
