How Long Does Dysport Take to Work?

Men and women who don’t want to live with wrinkles and frown lines turn to Dysport® to look younger and more refreshed. Like BOTOX® Cosmetic, Dysport is a neuromodulator that combats signs of aging and enhances facial features. Once injected, it temporarily inhibits muscle movement to smooth and prevent wrinkles. But one significant benefit sets Dysport apart from BOTOX—it kicks in faster!

So, how long does Dysport take to work, how long does Dysport last, and what is Dysport used for? Keep reading for the lowdown on exactly how and where Dysport works its facial rejuvenation magic—and learn more about what you can expect from your treatment and results.

Wrinkles and Lines

Crow’s feet, glabellar lines (11s), and horizontal forehead lines are among the most common concerns Dysport treats. Once injected into targeted areas, Dysport temporarily relaxes the muscles responsible for causing expression lines, resulting in smoother, more youthful-looking skin. While you will notice improvement within 2 to 3 days after Dysport, results will gradually progress over a few weeks. Factors such as metabolism and muscle activity can impact the duration of your results, but most patients retain their wrinkle-free look for up to 4 months.

Jawline Slimming

Dysport is commonly used to nonsurgically slim or refine an overly square or prominent jawline. By injecting Dysport into the masseter muscle, we can reduce its size and give you slimmer, more angular jawline contours. In addition to its aesthetic benefits, Dysport also helps men and women seek relief from conditions like bruxism (teeth grinding). Results are usually noticeable within 1 to 2 weeks and last roughly 4 to 6 months.

Fuller Lips (aka Lip Flip)

If you want a plumper pout, a Dysport lip flip is becoming all the rage and presents an alternative to lip filler injections. Dysport is used to relax the upper lip muscles, coaxing your lip to flip fashionably upward and creating the illusion of a fuller, more defined lip. Lip flip results are typically visible within 24 to 48 hours, and full results become apparent after a few weeks. You can expect to enjoy your luscious lips for  2 to 3 months, but you can maintain your perfect pout by repeating treatment.
