When it comes to fighting fine lines and wrinkles, Dysport has become one of the top names in the aesthetic world. But if you’ve been wondering what exactly Dysport is, how it works, or whether it’s right for you, you’re in the right place.
At CN Medical Aesthetics & Wellness in Park Ridge, IL, we specialize in safe and personalized cosmetic treatments that help you look refreshed, confident, and naturally youthful – and Dysport is one of our most-loved injectables for just that.
What Is Dysport Treatment?
Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable treatment designed to temporarily smooth moderate to severe frown lines and dynamic wrinkles – the ones that appear when you make facial expressions like frowning, squinting, or smiling.
It contains abobotulinumtoxinA, a form of botulinum toxin type A that relaxes targeted muscles under the skin, preventing them from contracting too much. As a result, the surface of your skin looks smoother, softer, and more youthful – without freezing your expressions.
In simple words: Dysport helps you look rested and radiant, not “overdone.”
What Is Dysport Used For?
Dysport isn’t just for forehead wrinkles – it’s a versatile injectable with multiple uses. Here’s where it works best:
1. Frown Lines (Glabellar Lines)
The most common reason people choose Dysport. It softens those “11 lines” between your eyebrows that can make you look angry or tired.
2. Forehead Lines
Dysport smooths horizontal lines across the forehead for a more relaxed, rejuvenated appearance.
3. Crow’s Feet
Those fine lines at the corners of your eyes? Dysport minimizes their appearance while keeping your smile natural.
4. Bunny Lines
Wrinkles that appear when you scrunch your nose can be easily softened with Dysport.
5. Neck Bands & Jawline Contouring
Some advanced injectors also use Dysport to relax neck bands or slim the jawline by softening the masseter muscles.
Dysport Benefits and Side Effects
Like any aesthetic treatment, Dysport has its pros and cons. Let’s break them down clearly.
Benefits:
- Quick Results: Most patients start seeing improvement within 2–3 days after treatment – faster than many other neurotoxins.
- Natural Look: Dysport spreads slightly more than Botox, making it perfect for achieving softer, more natural results.
- Short Procedure: The session takes about 10–15 minutes, with no downtime.
- Long-Lasting Effects: On average, results last around 3–5 months, depending on individual metabolism and treatment area.
- Prevents Deeper Wrinkles: Regular treatments can help train your facial muscles, slowing down the development of future wrinkles.
- Safe and FDA-Approved: Dysport has been used safely for both medical and cosmetic purposes for years.
Possible Side Effects:
While Dysport is generally safe, mild side effects can occur, especially right after injections. These may include:
- Slight redness or swelling at the injection site
- Temporary headache
- Mild bruising
- Drooping eyelid (very rare and temporary)
- Minor tenderness
All side effects are typically short-lived and resolve on their own within a few days. At CN Medical Aesthetics & Wellness, our licensed injectors take every precaution to ensure your treatment is safe, comfortable, and tailored to your unique needs.

How Long Does it Last?
Results typically last 3 to 5 months, depending on:
- Your muscle activity
- Metabolism
- The area treated
- Your injector’s technique
With consistent treatments, many clients notice their results lasting longer over time because their muscles become less active.
To maintain a youthful, consistent look, most patients schedule touch-up sessions every 4 months.
Dysport vs. Botox: What’s the Difference?
People often compare Dysport vs. Botox since both belong to the same family of neurotoxins. While they work similarly, here’s how they differ:
| Feature | Dysport | Botox |
|---|---|---|
| Active Ingredient | AbobotulinumtoxinA | OnabotulinumtoxinA |
| Spread | Slightly diffuses more, ideal for larger areas | More localized, precise control |
| Results | May appear faster (2–3 days) | Typically 5–7 days |
| Duration | Around 3–5 months | Around 3–4 months |
| Ideal For | Softer, natural look | More targeted treatment |
In short – both are great! The choice depends on your facial structure, goals, and the injector’s recommendation.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dysport?
You’re likely a great candidate for Dysport if:
- You have moderate to severe frown lines or wrinkles.
- You want subtle, natural-looking results.
- You’re in good general health.
- You want a quick, non-surgical way to refresh your look.
Dysport is also an excellent preventive treatment for people in their late 20s and 30s who want to stop fine lines from deepening.
