Use a fast-acting neuromodulator to reduce expression lines.
Dysport is an abobotulinumtoxinA neuromodulator that relaxes the muscles behind expression lines, like the frown lines between the brows. It softens those lines while keeping movement natural.
Dysport, Botox, and Letybo use product-specific unit systems that are not interchangeable. Product choice is based on treatment area, facial movement, prior response, and the personalized plan confirmed during consultation.

How to prepare for Dysport
Tell your provider about all medications and supplements you take, including prescription and over-the-counter products. Do not stop prescription medication unless the prescribing clinician instructs you to do so.
Avoid alcohol for 24 hours before your appointment and arrive with clean skin in the treatment area. Share any previous Botox or Dysport results so your provider can personalize the treatment plan.
• Share all medications and supplements with your provider
• No alcohol 24h before
• Clean skin on the treated area
• Share past Botox or Dysport results
• Plan a light schedule afterward
What happens during a Dysport appointment
Like Botox, a Dysport appointment takes about 15 to 25 minutes. A dermatologist-trained SOM provider maps your treatment areas and places precise injections. Dysport tends to spread a little more, which can suit larger zones. You’ll feel quick pinches and can leave right away.
• 15 to 25 minute visit
• Precise, mapped injections
• Suits larger treatment areas
• Quick pinches only
• No downtime
Dysport aftercare
Stay upright for about 4 hours, avoid rubbing the area, and skip strenuous exercise that day. Dysport often starts working in 2 to 3 days, a bit faster than Botox, and results usually last 3 to 4 months.
• Stay upright ~4 hours
• Don’t rub the area
• No strenuous exercise that day
• Often starts in 2 to 3 days
• Results last 3 to 4 months
Is Dysport safe, and how is product choice decided?
