Dysport®

Smooth Away Wrinkles with Dysport® Treatments in Austin, TX


Dysport® is a prescription injectable medication that contains botulinum toxin type A, similar to BOTOX®. It is used cosmetically to temporarily reduce facial wrinkles and lines by blocking nerve signals in the injected muscles.

Originally approved in Europe and Asia in 1991 for certain muscle spasm disorders, Dysport became available in the United States in 2009 after receiving FDA approval for treating forehead wrinkles and frown lines. It is only the second drug approved by the FDA for wrinkle treatment. Dysport (formerly known as Reloxin) is made from the same active ingredient as BOTOX but may provide a more natural look by relaxing wrinkles while allowing for natural expression in the treated areas.

The effects of Dysport can last for several months before gradually wearing off, requiring additional treatments to maintain results. The injectors at Tru-Skin Dermatology are dedicated to helping you achieve your cosmetic goals through Dysport treatment. Schedule a cosmetic consultation today to learn more.

Determining If You Are A Candidate For Dysport Treatments

  • Dysport helps relax and smooth moderate to severe wrinkles on your face and neck.
Dysport can be injected in the following areas:
  • Forehead wrinkles
  • Crow’s feet
  • Lines between the eyebrows
  • Lines on sides of the nose (bunny lines)
  • Corners of the mouth (lip depressors)
  • Eyebrows (brow lift)
  • Neck bands

Understanding The Dysport Process

  • Muscle contractions and repeated movements cause wrinkles and fine lines.
  • Dysport treats moderate to severe lines around the eyes, forehead, and between the eyebrows.
  • Reduces muscle movement for smoother skin.
  • Muscles rest after treatment, resulting in a smoother appearance.
  • Fast, easy process from fine lines to a smooth face.

Smoothing Fine Lines And Wrinkles With Dysport Treatments

Many patients seek a way to smooth fine lines and wrinkles on their face. Tru-Skin Dermatology offers prescription Dysport treatments to patients to improve the look of frown lines without changing your entire faces. Your facial muscles still work normally, letting you show facial expressions in untreated areas. Dysport provides temporary improvements in moderate to severe frown lines. As one of the most widely administered prescription cosmetic injectables, Dysport has made its name as a go-to treatment to soften wrinkles without changing movement in the rest of your face. It is a safe, FDA-approved treatment that has been used for over two decades.

Dysport vs BOTOX Treatments

Botox and Dysport work in the same way with a few small differences. Both works to block nerve signals to the muscles in your face. Botox is only used in the United States, while Dysport has been used for many years in Europe, even before it had FDA approval. Botox is used most frequently to treat fine lines and wrinkles in small areas. Unlike Botox which takes 3-7 days to activate, Dysport typically activates 2-3 days after treatment and may last up to 5 months. Maximum results may be seen after 2 weeks post injection. Dysport is most popular for treating fine lines on the forehead and eyebrows. Repeated injections of both treatments are required if you want to maintain the results.
