Dysport® is an FDA-approved wrinkle relaxer that softens the lines that form when you frown, squint, or raise your brows.
Its formulation tends to spread slightly more after injection, which can produce an even, diffuse result across wider areas such as the forehead. Many patients also notice it taking effect a little sooner than other options.
Like other neurotoxins, it works by relaxing targeted muscles for a few months at a time, with no incisions and no downtime.
Dysport® is dosed in different units than Botox®, so unit counts between the two aren’t directly comparable. Your provider will explain your plan in plain terms.
Our Boston team keeps Dysport® results refined and balanced, so people notice you look well rested, not that you had something done.

Areas we treat
Dysport® is most commonly used on the upper face, where its smooth spread works well.
Forehead lines
Horizontal lines that appear when you raise your eyebrows. Careful dosing smooths them while keeping natural brow movement.
Frown lines
The vertical “11s” between the brows that can make you look tired or stressed even when you’re not.
Crow’s feet
The fine lines that fan out from the corners of the eyes when you smile or squint.
Subtle brow lift
Strategic placement can raise the tail of the brow slightly for a more open, refreshed eye area.
Preventive treatment
Lighter doses started early can help keep expression lines from becoming permanent creases.

Frequently asked questions
How is Dysport® different from Botox®?
Both relax muscles in the same way. Dysport® tends to spread a bit more and may start working sooner, and it’s dosed in different units. Either can give excellent results.
How long does Dysport® last?
Results generally last three to four months, depending on the area treated and your individual metabolism.
Is there any downtime?
No. You may see small bumps or a little redness for a short time, but most people return to work and normal activities right away.
Can I switch to Dysport® from another product?
Yes. Many patients try Dysport® after using another wrinkle relaxer. We’ll adjust your dose to account for the difference in units.
