Dysport is the next most common botulinum toxin type A for wrinkles after cosmetic Botox. Like Botox, this wrinkle fighter also inhibits facial muscle contractions that eventually lead to forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet. Results of Dysport are often noticeable within a day or so, quicker than Botox, making it a great option for someone looking to enhance their appearance more quickly for an upcoming social event, wedding or important meeting. The cost is about the same as Botox, with results that may last longer than Botox. Results are dependent on each patient’s response and may not be as strong as with Botox. In some cases, Dr. Barad likes to use a combination of products to give you the best outcome – Artist’s Choice.
Dysport works by blocking the nerve signals that cause muscles to contract. When injected into targeted muscles, Dysport prevents these muscles from contracting, which reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines caused by repeated facial movements. The treatment involves a series of small injections into specific areas of concern, such as the forehead, between the brows, or around the eyes. Because Dysport spreads more quickly than other neuromodulators, it is ideal for treating larger areas evenly and effectively. The procedure is quick, typically taking only 15-30 minutes, and results begin to appear within two to three days, with full effects visible within one to two weeks.
Dysport typically lasts for three to four months, after which you may choose to schedule a maintenance treatment to sustain the results.
Most patients experience minimal discomfort during Dysport injections, often described as a brief pinching sensation. If necessary, a topical numbing cream can be applied to enhance comfort.
You can expect to see visible results within two to three days after your Dysport treatment, with full effects appearing within one to two weeks.

Regular Dysport treatments can help prevent dynamic wrinkles from deepening, effectively delaying the visible signs of aging over time.
The cost is relatively the same as Botox, or a fraction less in comparison.
