Dysport® is an injectable treatment that we offer for the temporary correction of frown line wrinkles. Widely used in the UK during the 90s, Dysport received United States FDA approval in 2009.
When to Choose Dysport
During your visit to our Birmingham cosmetic surgery office, cosmetic surgeon Dr. Melanie Petro may recommend Dysport for the treatment of frown lines, also known as “glabellar lines.” Other possible treatment applications with Dysport are therapeutic treatments for muscle spasm and cervical dystonia.
Dysport is used for cosmetic surgery purposes in patients under 65 years of age. This product is not recommended for those with an infection at the proposed injection site or those with a known hypersensitivity to botulinum toxin or any other ingredients within the Dysport formulation.
How Does Dysport Work?
Dysport works by blocking the chemical signal that activates small facial muscles, causing them to relax and stop contracting for several months. Wrinkles are then allowed to flatten out and become less visible.
During a Dysport treatment (usually 15 minutes or less), Dr. Petro will identify the areas for wrinkle correction and then administer injections. Topical anesthetic can be used, but it’s typically not needed. For best results, Dr. Petro may recommend that you combine your Dysport treatment with an injectable wrinkle filler such as Juvederm or Restylane.

The results of your Dysport treatment will be noticeable after 4-8 days. During the hours that follow your treatment, Dr. Petro may advise you to remain upright, avoid alcohol, and avoid exposure to the sun. Inform the doctor if you experience any unexpected symptoms or if any existing symptom becomes more severe.
Possible side effects of Dysport include redness, bruising, stinging, nausea, fatigue, flu-like symptoms, headache and drooping eyelid.
