At Syra Aesthetics & Longevity Institute, led by Dr. Syra Hanif, we offer Dysport®, an FDA-approved injectable treatment that helps reduce the appearance of wrinkles. Dysport is a great alternative to Botox® and is known for effectively smoothing out frown lines on the forehead and between the eyebrows. If you’re looking for a non-invasive way to refresh your appearance, Dysport could be the solution.
What is Dysport?
Dysport has been FDA-approved since 2009 for treating moderate to severe frown lines (also called glabellar lines) between the eyebrows. It works by temporarily blocking nerve signals to the muscles that cause these wrinkles, reducing muscle movement and preventing the contractions that lead to lines. In addition to cosmetic uses, Dysport can also be used to treat certain medical conditions, such as muscle stiffness or spasms. The results typically last up to four months, and the treatment requires minimal downtime.

How is Dysport Different
From Botox?
Both Dysport and Botox are injectable treatments that use botulinum toxin type A to reduce wrinkles, but there are a few key differences
between them:
Formulation
Dysport has smaller molecules, which allows it to spread more evenly, making it a great option for larger treatment areas.
Onset & Duration
Dysport usually works faster, with results visible in just 2 to 3 days, compared to Botox, which can take 4 to 7 days. Dysport’s results generally last about 3 to 4 months, while Botox can last 4 to 7 months.
Units & Dosage
Dysport is measured differently than Botox. During your consultation, we’ll determine the right dosage based on your specific needs.
Versatility
Dysport works well for treating wrinkles in larger areas like the forehead, frown lines, and crow’s feet, thanks to its ability to spread more broadly.
Benefits of Dysport
Dysport offers several benefits for those looking for a non-invasive way to reduce wrinkles:

Potential Side Effects
of Dysport
While Dysport is generally well-tolerated, some people may experience minor side effects, including:
Injection-Related Reactions
Some mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection site can occur but usually goes away quickly.
Headache
A mild headache may develop after treatment, but staying hydrated and resting can help.
Temporary Muscle Weakness
In rare cases, you might notice slight facial asymmetry, but these effects are usually temporary.
Allergic Reactions
Although uncommon, it’s important to inform your provider if you have any history of allergic reactions to similar treatments.
