Age notoriously causes wrinkles, but they also appear due to repeated movements and muscle contractions in the face. This means that even if you are a younger adult, you are still susceptible to the formation of wrinkles every time you squint, smile, and frown. Wrinkles may be a fact of life, but that doesn’t mean you have to accept them.
Dysport tackles wrinkles by wiping away moderate to severe frown lines between your eyebrows without freezing your face or preventing you from expressing a range of emotions on your face. For Dr. Bruce Landon and his team of experts at Landon Plastic Surgery in Tampa Dysport is a proven way to reduce wrinkles in a natural manner.
Dysport is an injectable cosmetic treatment that softens dynamic facial wrinkles caused by repetitive muscle movement. It contains botulinum toxin type A, which temporarily blocks nerve signals to specific facial muscles—reducing frown lines, forehead creases, and other expression-based lines. Dysport injections are performed with precision to preserve natural facial movement while enhancing skin smoothness.
The treatment typically involves a fine-needle injection into five targeted points between the brows (glabellar lines). Dr. Landon and his expert team tailor each injection plan to your facial anatomy and aesthetic goals to ensure the results complement your natural expressions—not mask them.
Using a form of botulinum toxin type A just like Botox, Dysport can reduce specific muscle activity to relax your moderate to severe frown lines.
Dysport involves one injection into five points located between and above the eyebrows. By targeting these five specific points with Dysport Tampa plastic surgeon Dr. Landon can help to prevent muscle contractions while allowing the rest of your face to move with natural expression.
FDA-approved in 2009, Dysport is a proven cosmetic enhancement. It’s not just popular in America but is used in 57 countries and backed by 25 years of clinical research that support its many wrinkle-free success stories.
Dysport is ideal for treating the early to moderate signs of aging caused by repeated facial motion. These are known as dynamic wrinkles and are most often found in areas like:
It’s also used in some cases for subtle brow elevation or to soften muscle bands in the neck. While Dysport won’t improve deep static wrinkles or volume loss, it can dramatically reduce the visibility of movement-related lines and help delay the need for surgical intervention.
Dysport provides natural-looking results with minimal downtime and a quick, straightforward appointment. Some of the most valued benefits include:
Patients often say their expressions feel softer and more relaxed, without looking frozen or “overdone.”
Both Dysport and Botox use botulinum toxin type A to relax facial muscles, but there are some subtle differences. Dysport has a slightly smaller molecular size, which may allow it to diffuse more easily in larger treatment areas like the forehead. This can be helpful for treating broader wrinkles or areas where soft, blended results are preferred.
Onset of action tends to be faster with Dysport, some patients see visible improvement in as little as 48 hours. Botox, on the other hand, may take closer to five to seven days to begin working. Duration of effect is similar, with results typically lasting around three to four months for both.
Neither product is objectively “better.” The right choice depends on your anatomy, goals, and how your facial muscles respond to treatment. During your consultation, Dr. Landon will recommend the product best suited to your aesthetic needs.
Ideal candidates are adults who want to reduce the appearance of moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles without altering their facial expressions. You may be a good candidate for Dysport if you:
If you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, or have certain neurological conditions, you may be advised to delay or avoid treatment.
Dysport treatment begins with a consultation to assess your facial structure and movement patterns. In most cases, a topical anesthetic is not necessary. Dysport is administered using a fine needle, and discomfort is minimal. Your provider will cleanse the skin and deliver the product to precise injection sites across the forehead or between the brows.
The entire process takes less than 30 minutes. Many patients schedule it during their lunch break and return to work or normal activities the same day.
Downtime after Dysport is minimal. Some patients experience mild redness, swelling, or pinpoint bruising at the injection sites, but these side effects typically resolve within a few hours.
You’ll be asked to avoid:
Most patients start seeing results within two to three days, with full improvement visible by day seven. To maintain results, follow-up treatments are typically scheduled every three to four months.
Dysport is known to generate wrinkle improvement as soon as 2 or 3 days after treatment, with results lasting up to four months. All after one simple treatment lasting only 10 or 20 minutes.
In fact, 30 days after treatment, up to 88% of patients in clinical studies had their frown lines rated by a doctor as “none” or “mild” with noticeable improvement. Our Dysport treatment in Tampa is simple, virtually painless, and requires little to no downtime. As with any injection, the most important factor is finding a qualified specialist to handle the procedure correctly.
