Natural-Looking, Amazing Results
What Is Dysport?
Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator made from a purified form of botulinum toxin type A, sourced from non-animal origins. It works by temporarily interrupting the nerve signals that cause facial muscles to contract, smoothing out the lines and wrinkles those contractions produce. In a brief 10–20 minute appointment, Dysport visibly softens moderate-to-severe frown lines between the brows.
Dysport can be an excellent option for patients new to injectable neuromodulator treatments, as well as for seasoned clients who know exactly what kind of results they want. It is currently approved in 69 countries and is backed by 25 years of clinical experience worldwide.
Dysport vs. BOTOX Cosmetic
Although Dysport and BOTOX share the same active ingredient, they are not interchangeable. Dysport is formulated with smaller protein molecules and a higher concentration of the active ingredient (0.27 ng), allowing it to diffuse more evenly across the treated area for a softer, more natural-looking finish — particularly across larger muscle groups like the forehead. Because of this distinct formulation, Dysport is typically dosed at roughly a 2-to-1 to 3-to-1 ratio compared to BOTOX.
Dysport also boasts the fastest onset of any neuromodulator on the market today, with many patients noticing results in as little as 24 hours — compared to 3–5 days for BOTOX — and effects that typically last 4–5 months.
Dysport Benefits
Dysport offers an impressive list of benefits:
- It produces subtle, refined results without altering your natural facial features.
- The injections spread evenly, thanks to their lower concentration.
- They deliver long-lasting results and reduce the number of appointments you’ll need.
- There’s no downtime while you smooth and prevent wrinkles (many of our Astoria and Long Island City clients schedule their Dysport injections on their lunch break and head right back to work).
Issues and Areas Dysport Can Treat
Dysport is used to address a wide variety of aging concerns, including crow’s feet, frown lines, and more. It’s a fast-acting, long-lasting injectable that delivers natural-looking results without changing the appearance or movement of your face. Beyond cosmetic use, it can also help treat muscle spasms in the upper and lower limbs — such as the elbows, fingers, wrists, ankles, and toes — as well as severe spasms in the neck muscles. That said, we primarily use Dysport to relax the appearance of facial wrinkles.
What Happens During a Dysport Appointment?
Your Dysport appointment at our Astoria office is quick and comfortable, typically lasting just 10–20 minutes. After a brief consultation to review your goals, your injector cleanses the treatment area and uses a fine needle to administer precise injections into the targeted facial muscles. No anesthesia is required, and you can return to your day immediately afterward.
Dysport Results and Side Effects
Dysport’s effects can last up to five months, letting you enjoy your refreshed look for longer before scheduling your next treatment.
Like BOTOX, Dysport is generally regarded as very safe. There is a small risk of side effects, including mild pain at the injection site, swelling around the eyelids, headaches, rash, and minor irritation. These typically resolve on their own within a few days.
More severe but uncommon side effects include upper respiratory infection, sinusitis, and nausea. If you experience any of these, contact your doctor right away.
Why Choose Diamond Works Medspa for Dysport in Astoria, NY?
Have you ever noticed that some people look incredible after getting Dysport or BOTOX Cosmetic injections to soften facial lines and wrinkles, while others don’t? The difference comes down to more than just product selection — it’s also about product dilution and the injector’s artistry.
Discount Dysport deals can be tempting, but roughly 1 in 4 bargain hunters experiences some kind of complication. Many also walk away with underwhelming results because the product has been over-diluted, requiring more units to deliver only mediocre outcomes.
