What Is Dysport?
Dysport is an FDA-approved treatment and prescription injection that specifically targets frown lines by causing a temporary relaxation of muscles in that area. Dysport injections are created from botulinum toxin type A. It can effectively soften lines and wrinkles, smooth skin, and create a more youthful look.
Because Dysport injections act locally, only the muscles that cause the frown lines are affected so you will still be able to make normal expressions. Dysport leads to a very natural-looking frown-free appearance, without the ‘frozen face’ look you want to avoid.
It simultaneously halts the small but constant muscle contractions in your face that cause a tired, aged look and helps to prevent existing facial lines from deepening. Like other cosmetic treatments, Dysport injections must be administered carefully by a medical professional to achieve the desired results.
How Is Dysport Used?
Originally, the target of Dysport was the vertical frown lines between the eyebrows. However, since then, it has been approved for and applied to the treatment of other lines and creases in the face. It can be applied for signs of aging skin such as the following:
-
- Smile lines
- Brow creases
- Frown lines
- Crow’s feet
- Wrinkles
How Does The Dysport Process/Procedure Work?
After being injected, Dysport works as a neuromodulator by temporarily blocking the nerve impulses to the muscles causing frown lines, resulting in a less wrinkled appearance. Dysport side effects are minimal, and eventually, its effects wear off unless you receive further treatment. During the effective period, your moderate to severe frown lines will be minimized, and no one will be able to tell how.

What Are The Benefits of Dysport?
Moderate to severe frown lines can make you look older than you feel, and can undermine an otherwise youthful appearance. Frown lines can also cause people to make assumptions about you that aren’t true. Strong frown lines are typically associated with negative feelings, like anger or disapproval, and people may assume that about you even if you are feeling the exact opposite. This can even happen on an unconscious level, casting a shadow over all your interactions. Frown lines can also make you look tired no matter your energy level. In professions that depend on appearance and making a good first impression, frown lines can even impede your success.
Patients of all genders and ages have reported great satisfaction with their Dysport treatments. It can help to boost confidence and improve the overall youthful appearance of the face. With regular treatments, Dysport can even help to greatly slow the appearance of facial signs of aging. That means that you can achieve a more youthful look long-term.
What Can I Expect During Treatment With Dysport?
The Dysport treatment process is a quick and painless experience. A single treatment session can take as little as 15 minutes. Many patients schedule their treatments for their lunch breaks. Dr. Streitmann will perform the injections at our convenient office location in Houston, TX. If necessary, a topical cream can be applied to the area to numb it before the treatment.
What Is The Dysport Recovery Process?
Dysport involves a simple injection into the skin and recovery time is minimal. You should be able to get back to going about your day straight away. Additionally, there are minimal restrictions on what you can do after the treatment.
There can be some mild redness or swelling around the injection site. This should subside within a few hours. If you experience prolonged redness, you should contact our office immediately.
Patients should avoid touching or rubbing the area following the treatment as this may spread the Dysport to unintended areas. Additionally, patients should avoid exercise for at least four hours after the treatment.
When Will I Notice My Results?
The results of a Dysport treatment appear relatively quickly. Most patients can see a noticeable smoothing effect within two to three days. These rapid results are one of the reasons many patients prefer Dysport injections to BOTOX.
How Long Will Dysport Results Last?
You can expect the effects of a Dysport treatment to last for up to four months. Touch-up appointments will be necessary to maintain the smoothing effects. Like the original appointment, these can be done quickly and from the comfort of our offices.

Dysport FAQs
How Often Do I Need To Get A Touch-Up?
Dysport acts quickly, and the effect lasts for a few months, with function gradually returning to the targeted muscles over that time. Therefore you will need touch-ups a few times a year to maintain the effect.
How Do Dysport Injections Compare to BOTOX?
Dysport and BOTOX both use the botulinum toxin to help create a smoother appearance in the face. They use different trace protein amounts, which can impact the potency of each treatment in different circumstances. Dr. Michael J. Streitmann offers both treatment types.
During your consultation, he will examine you and discuss your goals for the procedure. Using this information, he will determine which treatment option is best for you or if another alternative is better. We provide custom treatment plans for every patient.
Do You Have Any After-Care Health And Maintenance Tips?
You are recommended not to lay down in the first few hours after receiving the injection, and to not exercise on that day. This is to ensure the injection stays localized to the targeted area.
