Dysport in Cutchogue, NY
Dysport is an FDA-approved injection that relaxes specific facial muscles to soften expression lines. It is available at our Cutchogue office, and results typically appear in 2 to 3 days.
What Is Dysport?
Dysport (abobotulinumtoxinA) is a purified form of botulinum toxin type A. The FDA approved it for frown lines between the brows in 2009.
It works the same way as Botox. A provider injects small doses into the muscles that cause specific lines. The medication blocks the nerve signal that tells those muscles to contract, so the skin above them smooths.
Compared with other brands, Dysport may spread slightly more after injection and set in a little faster. It is measured in different units than Botox, so a treatment uses more Dysport units for a similar effect.
Results typically appear in 2 to 3 days and reach full effect in about 2 weeks. They typically last 3 to 4 months.
Who Dysport Treatments Are For
This treatment suits adults who want to soften expression lines without surgery or downtime.
Faster Onset
It typically sets in a little faster than other brands. This can help patients who are planning treatment before an event.
Larger Treatment Areas
Because it may spread slightly more after injection, some providers prefer Dysport for broad areas such as the forehead.
Pairing With Other Care
The injections relax muscles but do not add volume. Patients with volume loss often combine it with Dermal Fillers or a PDO Thread Lift.

Care Led by a Nurse Practitioner

Common Questions About
Dysport
How long does Dysport last?
Results typically last 3 to 4 months. Most patients return for treatment when movement starts to come back.
When will I see results from Dysport?
Results typically appear in 2 to 3 days. The full effect typically shows in about 2 weeks.
Why does Dysport use more units than Botox?
The two brands are measured in different units. The unit counts are not directly comparable, so a higher Dysport number does not mean a stronger treatment.
Is there downtime after Dysport?
No. Small bumps at the injection sites typically fade within an hour. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours.
How is Dysport different from Botox and Xeomin?
All three relax muscles in the same way and give similar results. Of the three, Dysport may spread slightly more and set in a little faster. We recommend the brand that fits your treatment areas.
