About Dysport: Dysport is a noninvasive wrinkle treatment that uses botulinum toxin to relax targeted muscles, smoothing the skin and preventing wrinkles from deepening. Primarily used for glabellar lines (frown lines between the eyebrows), it’s effective for moderate to severe cases in adults under 65. Results can appear in a few days and last several months. Cost of Dysport: The average cost of Dysport ranges between $300 and $400 per session. Factors influencing the cost include the number of injections needed, the provider's experience, and the clinic’s location. Dysport is not covered by medical insurance for cosmetic purposes but may be for certain medical conditions like muscle spasticity. Safety: While Dysport is generally safe, temporary side effects such as headaches, pain at the injection site, and inflammation can occur. Rare, more severe side effects include nausea, eyelid drooping, and muscle weakness. Dysport carries a risk of spreading to other parts of the body, which can cause muscle spasms. Convenience: Dysport injections are performed in your doctor’s office, with no recovery time required. You can resume normal activities immediately but should avoid exercise for a few hours post-procedure. Efficacy: Dysport has been found to be over 80% effective for temporary wrinkle treatment. Results are visible within a few days and can last up to four months. Follow-up sessions are needed to maintain the effects. What to Expect: After Dysport injections, you can return home immediately. Results may appear as soon as two days post-treatment and can last up to four months. Avoid rubbing the injection site and wait at least two hours before exercising. Comparison with Botox: Both Dysport and Botox are forms of botulinum toxin but have some differences Target Areas: Dysport is mainly for glabellar lines, while Botox targets crow’s feet, frown lines, and laugh lines. Procedure: Dysport is injected in at least five spots between the eyebrows, while Botox is injected around the eyes, forehead, and mouth. Cost: Both cost about $325 to $425 on average. Safety and Side Effects: Both are FDA-approved with minor side effects, though Botox has been approved since 2002, seven years earlier than Dysport. Recovery: Both treatments require little to no recovery time. Efficacy: Dysport results last up to four months, while Botox can last up to six months.
