Dysport is an FDA-approved, non-surgical injectable treatment that temporarily reduces the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Dysport injections in Scottsdale, AZ, help smooth wrinkles caused by repeated facial muscle movements for a more refreshed, relaxed appearance.
Dysport is a prescription neuromodulator containing abobotulinumtoxinA, a form of botulinum toxin type A. Similar to Botox®, it works by temporarily reducing muscle activity in targeted areas. However, Dysport and Botox® have different formulations and dosing requirements, and their units are not interchangeable. Treatment is designed to soften frown lines while allowing untreated facial muscles to function normally.
Dysport may be an appropriate treatment for adults under age 65 who want to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe frown lines between the eyebrows without surgery. This injectable treatment is administered during an outpatient appointment at our Scottsdale medical aesthetics facility and requires minimal recovery time.
Not everyone is a suitable candidate for Dysport injections. Individuals with allergies to cow’s milk protein, Dysport, or other botulinum toxin products, as well as those with infections at the proposed injection site, should not receive treatment. Certain medical conditions, medications, or facial characteristics may also affect treatment suitability. Discuss your medical history, allergies, and aesthetic concerns with your provider at Adam & Eve Medical Aesthetics during your consultation.
Dysport results may begin appearing within two to three days, although individual experiences vary. As the targeted facial muscles relax, frown lines gradually become less noticeable. Results typically last around three to four months, depending on the individual and treatment response.
Following Dysport injections, temporary redness, swelling, bruising, or headaches may occur. Your provider will explain appropriate aftercare, including any recommendations regarding exercise, pressure on the treatment area, and other activities. Follow these instructions carefully and contact Adam & Eve Medical Aesthetics if you experience unexpected symptoms or have concerns after treatment.
Dysport treatments are quick, convenient, and minimally invasive. Before your appointment, your provider will review your medical history, medications, and any preparation instructions. Certain medications may increase the likelihood of bruising, so discuss everything you take with your healthcare provider. Do not discontinue prescribed medications without medical guidance.
Expect to spend about an hour at Adam & Eve Medical Aesthetics in Scottsdale for your initial treatment. This allows time to complete paperwork, discuss your aesthetic goals, and address any questions or concerns. The injection procedure itself typically takes about 15 minutes.
During treatment, your provider will examine your facial expressions to identify the muscles responsible for your frown lines. The treatment area is cleaned, and the injection sites may be marked before Dysport is administered. You may experience brief discomfort or a slight burning sensation at the injection sites. A topical anesthetic may be used to improve comfort when appropriate.

Dysport and Botox® are both prescription neuromodulators that temporarily reduce muscle activity to soften facial wrinkles. However, they contain different formulations of botulinum toxin type A and use different dosing units. The products are not interchangeable, and your provider can help determine which treatment is appropriate for your concerns.
Biologically and chemically they are similar, but Dysport has greater variability in size and molecular weight. Dysport is more diluted. As a result of these differences, it spreads out further than Botox after injection. This can be an advantage when treating larger areas such as the forehead or for areas with thinner muscles like crow’s feet. Is it best to determine which neuromodulator works best for you, because each individual will metabolize Dysport and Botox differently. An experienced professional can help you determine which will best address your concerns.
Dysport results typically last around three to four months, although the duration varies by individual. Factors such as muscle activity, treatment response, and dosage can influence how long the effects remain visible. Maintenance treatments may be considered as results gradually wear off.
Some patients begin noticing improvements in their frown lines within two to three days after Dysport injections. Results develop gradually as the targeted muscles relax, and the full treatment response may take approximately two weeks.
The number of Dysport units needed depends on the treatment area, facial muscle activity, and individual treatment goals. Dysport uses a different dosing system than Botox®, so units cannot be compared directly. Your provider will determine the appropriate dosage during your consultation.
Dysport is FDA-approved for temporarily improving moderate to severe glabellar lines in adults under 65. Like other prescription injectables, it carries potential risks and side effects, including a boxed warning about the possible spread of toxin effects. Your provider will review your medical history and determine whether treatment is appropriate.
Dysport injections may cause brief discomfort, often described as a small pinch or burning sensation. The procedure is generally quick, and a topical anesthetic may be used to help minimize discomfort. Temporary tenderness or bruising can occur afterward.
