Dysport

Dysport

Dysport is an FDA-approved neuromodulator, similar to Botox, that relaxes the muscles causing frown lines and forehead wrinkles, often with a slightly faster onset and a softer spread across larger muscle groups. At Genesis Dermatology in Jupiter, FL, Dysport is a popular alternative for patients who want quick, natural-looking results.

What Is Dysport?

Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) is a botulinum toxin type A injectable, in the same drug family as Botox, that temporarily weakens targeted facial muscles to smooth the overlying skin. Its molecules diffuse slightly more broadly than Botox, which many injectors use to their advantage on larger, flatter areas like the forehead.

Dysport vs. Botox: What's the Difference?

Onset

Dysport often shows visible softening within 2-3 days, slightly faster than Botox for some patients

Spread

Dysport’s formulation tends to diffuse a bit more, which can suit broader areas like the forehead

Units

Dysport and Botox are dosed differently (Dysport requires more units per treatment area), so costs aren’t directly comparable unit-for-unit

Longevity

Both typically last 3-4 months, with individual variation

Treatment Areas

Forehead lines

Frown lines between the brows

Crow's feet

Preventive treatment for early dynamic lines

What to Expect

Treatment takes about 10-15 minutes with minimal discomfort and no downtime. Your provider will assess your muscle strength and movement pattern to determine dosing, since this varies meaningfully from patient to patient.

Why Choose Genesis Dermatology for Dysport

Choosing between Dysport and Botox is a conversation, not a guess and our injectors evaluate your muscle strength, the areas you want treated, and how your skin has responded to neuromodulators in the past (if at all) to recommend the product likely to give you the best result.
