Dysport is a botulinum toxin type A, abobotulinumtoxinA, that temporarily relaxes the muscles behind dynamic wrinkles. It is known for a quick onset, with many patients seeing softening within two to three days, and for spreading smoothly across broader muscles. That makes it a popular choice for the forehead and frown lines, where an even, natural finish matters.
Patients who want subtle wrinkle relief that keeps their expressions intact often prefer Dysport, especially for frown lines, forehead lines and crow's feet. At our Merrick office, your provider evaluates how your muscles move, then sets a dose on the unit scale specific to Dysport and places it to soften lines without flattening your animation.

Questions About Dysport
How quickly does Dysport start working?
Many patients notice lines beginning to soften within two to three days, which is one reason Dysport is popular before events. Full results usually settle by about two weeks, when your provider can assess balance and make small adjustments.
Is Dysport the same as Botox?
Both are botulinum toxin type A and work by relaxing muscles, but they are different formulations with different unit scales and spreading characteristics. Your provider can recommend which suits your anatomy, the area treated and your goals.
How long do Dysport results last?
Results typically last three to four months, after which muscle activity returns gradually. Consistent appointments keep lines softer over time. Your provider will suggest a schedule based on how your results hold and the areas treated.
Is there downtime after Dysport?
Little to none. Small bumps at the injection points usually fade within an hour, and minor bruising is possible. You can return to work right away, but skip intense exercise, facials and lying down for the rest of the day.
What to Expect
Your consultation covers your goals, medical history and any previous neurotoxin treatments. Your provider watches you frown, raise your brows and smile to map active muscles, then places small injections with a fine needle. Most people feel a few quick pinches. Avoid rubbing the area, lying flat for several hours and strenuous exercise that day. Softening often starts within a few days, and a follow up visit confirms an even result.
