This quick, injectable treatment works by relaxing the tiny muscles that cause those expression lines, giving your skin a softer, more refreshed appearance. It’s especially effective for forehead lines, frown lines, and crow’s feet, and results kick in fast, often within just a few days.

WHAT IS DYSPORT?

Dysport Reston

Dynamic wrinkles are caused by reiterated facial expressions and movements (such as laughing, smiling, and frowning) that recruit the skin into wrinkles as the muscles contract. After decades of moving the same muscles and creating the same dynamic wrinkles, the wrinkles can begin to stay in place and then become “static” lines. Dysport is specially created to correct the most frequent dynamic wrinkles: the vertical lines between the eyebrows known as frown lines. It temporarily blocks signals to the treated muscle, so the line is smooth but with natural-looking results that don't make your face look frozen.

WHAT AESTHETIC ISSUES ARE ADDRESSED WITH DYSPORT

Dysport is most often used to smooth out dynamic wrinkles, those lines that form from repeated facial expressions like frowning, squinting, or raising your eyebrows. Over time, these expressions can leave deep-set lines that make you look tired, tense, or older than you feel. Dysport helps relax the muscles that cause these movements, giving your face a more refreshed, youthful look.

Here are some of the common concerns Dysport can address:

WHAT AREAS OF THE BODY ARE TREATED WITH DYSPORT?

While Dysport is best known for treating facial lines, it can be used in several areas to improve overall facial harmony and soften signs of aging.

  • Forehead and Brow Area: To relax expression lines and create a smoother, more lifted appearance.
  • Eyes: Especially around the corners to ease crow’s feet and subtly brighten your gaze.
  • Nose: To minimize “bunny lines” and smooth the bridge of the nose.
  • Jawline and Masseter Muscles: Can be used to slim a square jaw or help with teeth grinding.
  • Neck: Softens the vertical bands that appear as we age.
  • Chin: Helps smooth out a dimply or “orange peel” texture.

COMPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES TO DYSPORT

Dysport delivers beautiful, natural-looking results on its own, but when combined with other treatments, the effects can be even more restorative. At Austin-Weston, we often pair Dysport with other non-surgical options to enhance your overall outcome.

IDEAL CANDIDATES

Dysport Reston

For our patients near Reston Dysport is a good choice if you want a nonsurgical option to improve mild or moderate glabellar (frown) lines that appear between the eyebrows. Because dynamic wrinkles and lines are created by chronic use, they may become visible in younger patients and make you appear mad, tired, or sad.

Dysport is an effective, fast treatment that addresses dynamic wrinkles without leaving a "frozen" appearance. Since Dysport's formula expands to reach a group of wrinkles, it's also great for Crow's feet, the small wrinkles in the corners of the eyes. Many patients at Austin-Weston, The Center for Cosmetic Surgery notice visible improvements in their appearance 1 – 3 days following their procedure that may remain for as long as four months.

PROCEDURE TECHNIQUE

Injections of Dysport are administered in one of our private treatment rooms following your consultation. A local anesthetic or numbing cream is generally unnecessary because Dysport is injected using a fine needle that creates little pain, but it may be applied if requested.

Before your treatment with Dysport Reston injectors will clean the treatment area, and multiple well-placed injections will be made across the eyebrows, followed with a cold, gentle compress to lessen bruising and swelling. Following your injections, you can perform regular tasks but you should avoid strenuous activities for at least 24 hours.

DYSPORT RESULTS

You’ll start to see results from Dysport in just a few days, with the full effect becoming noticeable around 7 to 10 days after treatment. The improvement looks natural—like you, just a little more refreshed. Dysport results typically last about three to four months, depending on your body’s metabolism and how expressive your face is. Once the effects begin to fade, a quick touch-up can keep your look smooth and consistent.

DYSPORT RECOVERY: WHAT TO EXPECT

Following a session of Dysport Reston patients may see light redness and swelling at and around the injected area, but this will generally disappear within one to three days.

You should sleep propped up for at least one night and may want to apply cold compresses if needed. Improvements are commonly noticeable in one to three days as the severity of your dynamic wrinkles is minimized for a softer, smoother appearance. Your results should remain for around three to four months, and more injections may be done at Austin-Weston, The Center for Cosmetic Surgery in Reston to extend your results.

DYSPORTFrequently Asked Questions

HOW LONG DOES DYSPORT LAST COMPARED TO BOTOX?

Dysport tends to kick in a little faster than Botox, usually within two to three days and lasts about the same: roughly three to four months.

WHAT IS THE IDEAL AGE TO START DYSPORT TREATMENTS?

There's no perfect age; it's more about when you start to notice lines forming, often in the late 20s to early 30s.

CAN DYSPORT BE COMBINED WITH OTHER COSMETIC TREATMENTS?

Yes, absolutely. It's often combined with fillers, lasers, or other non-surgical treatments for more comprehensive results.

IS DYSPORT BETTER FOR CERTAIN AREAS OF THE FACE THAN BOTOX?

Some people find that Dysport spreads a bit more, making it ideal for larger areas like the forehead. Botox may be preferred for smaller, more targeted zones.

HOW MANY UNITS OF DYSPORT ARE TYPICALLY NEEDED FOR OPTIMAL RESULTS?

It depends on the area and your goals, but most treatments range from 40 to 60 units. Your provider will create a custom plan just for you.
