Refresh your appearance with Dysport®, a trusted neuromodulator for reducing the look of frown lines at BASE Spa & Wellness.
Dysport® is a prescription neuromodulator that temporarily reduces the muscle activity responsible for moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. At BASE Spa & Wellness in Chesterton, Dysport injections are performed with attention to facial movement, injection placement, and the result you want to achieve.
What Is Dysport?
Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) is a type of botulinum toxin used as a neuromodulator. When injected into specific muscles, it temporarily blocks the release of acetylcholine, a chemical messenger involved in muscle contraction. Reducing activity in the targeted muscles limits repeated folding of the skin that contributes to dynamic lines.
For cosmetic treatment, Dysport is FDA-approved for the temporary improvement of moderate to severe glabellar lines, commonly called frown lines or “11 lines,” in adults younger than 65. Dysport is different from dermal fillers. Rather than adding volume beneath the skin, it works by temporarily reducing movement in selected muscles.
Benefits of Dysport Injections
When appropriately selected and administered, Dysport can provide several advantages for patients seeking treatment for glabellar lines:
- Reduces frown lines: Dysport temporarily improves the appearance of moderate to severe lines between the eyebrows.
- Targets muscle activity: Treatment works on the underlying muscle contractions contributing to dynamic lines.
- Requires no surgery: Dysport is administered through a series of small injections rather than a surgical procedure.
- Minimal disruption: Most patients can return to their regular activities after treatment, subject to their provider’s aftercare instructions.
- Temporary results: Because the effect is temporary, treatment can be repeated when muscle movement and lines begin to return.
- Fast-acting results: Clinical studies have found that some patients begin seeing an effect within the first few days, although individual timing varies.
Is Dysport Right for You?
Dysport may be appropriate for adults seeking temporary improvement in moderate to severe glabellar lines. A consultation is important because facial anatomy, muscle activity, previous treatments, and your medical history all influence whether Dysport is a suitable option.
Dysport may not be appropriate for everyone. Tell your provider if you have a history of neuromuscular disorders, swallowing or breathing problems, allergies to botulinum toxin products, or if you are taking medications that may affect neuromuscular transmission.
What to Expect During a Dysport Treatment
Your appointment begins with an assessment of the area you want to treat and your facial movements. Your provider will discuss your concerns, medical history, previous neuromodulator treatments, and the result you are hoping to achieve.
Once the treatment plan is established, the injection sites are identified, and Dysport is administered into the targeted muscles using a fine needle. The treatment itself is relatively brief, although appointment length can vary depending on your assessment and treatment plan. Because Dysport does not require surgery or anesthesia, there is generally no extended recovery period.
Dysport Aftercare and Results
After treatment, you may experience temporary redness, swelling, tenderness, or bruising at the injection sites. These effects generally resolve as the injection sites recover.
Dysport does not produce its full effect immediately. Some patients begin noticing changes within a few days. In clinical studies, the median time to onset was two to three days, while results continued to develop after treatment.
The appearance of glabellar lines typically improves as the treated muscles become less active. Individual results vary based on factors such as muscle strength, anatomy, treatment technique, and how your body responds to the medication.
Dysport’s clinical studies demonstrated improvement in glabellar lines for up to four months, although the duration of results varies between individuals.
How Much Does Dysport Cost?
The cost of Dysport® treatment at BASE Spa & Wellness depends on the amount of product needed to treat your frown lines and your individual treatment plan. Because Dysport dosing varies from patient to patient, there is no single price that applies to every treatment. During your consultation, your provider can assess your facial muscle activity, determine the appropriate Dysport dosage, and explain the total cost before treatment.
Where Precision Meets Aesthetic Expertise
Dysport results depend on more than the product itself. Precise placement and an understanding of facial anatomy and muscle movement play an important role in achieving an appropriate result. At BASE Spa & Wellness, Dysport treatments are performed by trained medical professionals who assess your facial movement and treatment goals before determining where and how much product to use.
That clinical focus allows your treatment to be planned around your anatomy and expression, rather than relying on a standard injection pattern. From the initial assessment through treatment, BASE Spa & Wellness combines medical knowledge with aesthetic judgment to address frown lines while maintaining natural facial movement.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dysport
Is Dysport the same as Botox?
No. Dysport and Botox are different botulinum toxin type A products that work through similar mechanisms. Their formulations and dosing are different, and their units cannot be directly compared.
Does Dysport hurt?
Dysport is administered using a fine needle, so patients may experience brief pinching or discomfort during the injections. Your provider can discuss ways to make treatment more comfortable.
Is there downtime after Dysport injections?
Dysport does not require surgical recovery, and many patients return to their usual activities after treatment. Your provider will give you specific instructions about activity and aftercare following your injections.
Can I still move my eyebrows after Dysport?
Yes. Dysport is intended to reduce activity in targeted muscles, not eliminate all facial movement. How much movement remains depends on the treatment area, dose, anatomy, and individual response.
How many Dysport units will I need?
The amount of Dysport needed varies based on the strength and activity of the muscles being treated, your facial anatomy, and the severity of your frown lines. Your provider will determine the appropriate dose during your assessment.
