Dysport Injections
Renaissance Plastic Surgery offers clients Dysport®, a neuromodulator treatment that reduces facial lines caused by repeated muscle movement. This non-surgical treatment targets common areas of facial aging, helping patients achieve smoother, more relaxed skin with minimal interruption to their routine.
What Is Dysport?
Dysport is an injectable made from abobotulinumtoxinA, a purified form of botulinum toxin type A. It temporarily prevents targeted muscles from contracting, softening dynamic wrinkles—those formed by facial expressions such as frowning or squinting.
Dysport is FDA-approved for the treatment of glabellar lines (the vertical “11” lines between the eyebrows) and is frequently used off-label in other areas of the face. It does not add volume, but instead relaxes the muscles that create visible creases in the skin.
What Areas Can Dysport Treat?
Dysport is effective for smoothing dynamic wrinkles in multiple areas:
- Glabella (frown lines) – FDA-approved use
- Forehead – horizontal lines caused by brow elevation
- Crow’s Feet – fine lines at the outer corners of the eyes
- Bunny Lines – creases at the bridge of the nose
- Lip Flip – a subtle upper lip enhancement
- Masseter – facial slimming or relief of TMJ symptoms
How Dysport Works
Dysport is classified as a neuromuscular blocking agent. Once injected into the target muscle, it temporarily prevents the release of acetylcholine—a neurotransmitter that signals muscle contraction. This process reduces muscle activity, allowing the overlying skin to smooth out.
Treatment is performed with a fine needle and typically involves minimal discomfort. Most sessions take less than 20 minutes and require no anesthesia.
Benefits of Dysport Injections
Dysport injections offer fast, reliable results with high precision. Patients often choose this treatment because it:
- Softens visible expression lines
- Preserves natural facial movement
- Requires minimal time in the office (10–20 minutes)
- Delivers initial results within two to three days
- Provides results lasting approximately three to five months
- Has no required downtime
Dysport is especially effective for patients seeking smoother skin in broad treatment zones, such as the forehead or glabella, due to its tendency to diffuse slightly more than other neuromodulators.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dysport?
Dysport is recommended for adults under 65 in good general health who want to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles. You may benefit from Dysport if you:
- Have visible forehead lines or frown lines
- Want a non-surgical alternative to soften facial wrinkles
- Are looking to prevent further deepening of lines
- Have no history of allergic reaction to botulinum toxin or cow’s milk protein
Patients who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neurological conditions may be advised to delay or avoid treatment.
Aftercare and Expected Results
You can resume normal activities shortly after treatment, but post-procedure care is vital for optimal results:
- Avoid rubbing or massaging the treated area for four hours
- Refrain from strenuous exercise or lying flat immediately after treatment
- Full effects develop within 7 to 14 days
The results usually last three to five months. Maintenance treatments are recommended every three to four months. Some patients notice longer-lasting effects with regular use due to reduced muscle activity over time.
How Much Does Dysport Cost?
The price of your Dysport treatment will depend on the details of your personalized plan. The total cost is influenced by factors such as the number of treatment areas, the size of each area, and the number of units required to achieve your desired results. Pricing will be reviewed in detail with you during your consultation.

Dysport FAQs
How long does Dysport last?
Most patients enjoy smoother skin for three to five months before muscle movement gradually returns.
Is Dysport better than Botox?
Both are effective. Dysport spreads slightly more, making it ideal for broader areas. Botox injections may offer more control in smaller zones. Your provider will help you choose.
When will I see results?
Initial improvement is usually visible within two to three days. Final results appear within one to two weeks.
Are there side effects?
Mild redness, swelling, or bruising may occur. In rare cases, temporary drooping or headache may result. Severe reactions are extremely uncommon when administered by trained professionals.
Can Dysport be combined with other treatments?
Yes. Many patients combine it with other cosmetic injectables to address volume loss or improve skin tone and texture.

Patient Testimonials
This was the best decision I have ever made. I met with Dr. Stefani and hired him & received a full mommy makeover. I had met with several doctors as well, as this was a big decision to make. Dr. Stefani made me feel the most comfortable and he has a great bedside manner. Also, to be completely honest after surgery …He exceeded my expectations. I almost cried after I saw what I looked like after surgery. I had 3 c sections prior and nothing was ever the same after that. I feel better than I did before kids and I wish I did this sooner. If you are even slightly hesitant …don’t be! Dr. Stefani is AMAZING.
Dr. Williams is one of the most caring and talented doctors I have ever met! I was diagnosed with breast CA 2 years ago and was referred to him for reconstruction after choosing to do a bilateral mastectomy. Boy was I scared !! He put me at ease right away with great information on what to expect along and seemed to generally care about me even though we had just met! I knew I was in the best hands! Now after 2 years, not to sound weird, I get compliments on my "new" breasts all the time, even my family Dr gave them a big WOW! Cherry on top, he did a Tummy tuck on me to even out new look, and also get compliments all the time!
Dr. Miguel is the absolute best!! I've had rhinoplasty in the past with another surgeon, and I came in for a consultation with Dr. Miguel for an alar base reduction (narrowing of nostrils). He was so honest with his answer, and he told me it was not needed. He said the procedure was unnecessary, and to leave my nose just the way it is. He told me all the things that could go wrong if I were to go forward with this procedure. I am so grateful for his honesty, and I appreciate his conservative approach. If you are looking for a rhinoplasty surgeon and want honest feedback with natural results, please consult with Dr. Miguel.
