What Is Dysport®?

Dysport® is a wrinkle-relaxing injectable used to soften lines caused by repeated facial movement like frowning or squinting. It’s a botulinum toxin that works by temporarily reducing muscle activity beneath the skin, helping to minimize the appearance of dynamic wrinkles. Every treatment at our Manhattan practice is personally performed by Dr. Stephen Bracci. Drawing on over two decades of experience, he uses tailored micro-dosing to soften lines and balance facial muscles while preserving your authentic, natural expressions. Like other botulinum toxin treatments, Dysport® in Manhattan may also be used off-label to address other facial or muscular concerns beyond its most common uses.

What Areas Can Dysport® Treat?

The most common area treated with Dysport® is the frown lines between the eyebrows, often called the “11 lines.” It can also be used in other areas of the face, depending on individual needs and provider recommendations.

How Is Dysport® Injected?

First, Dr. Bracci evaluates your unique muscle movements and facial dynamics to place each micro-dose with exact precision. Dysport® is injected directly into specific facial muscles using an ultra-fine needle for maximum comfort. Dysport® treatments are typically quick and require no downtime.

What’s the Difference Between Dysport® and BOTOX?

Dysport vs. BOTOX is a common question. Both are FDA-approved neurotoxins that work similarly to relax muscles.

While individual results and preferences vary, some patients find that Dysport® spreads more evenly and begins working slightly faster than BOTOX.

Dysport FAQs

Why Does Dysport® Unit Dosing Differ from BOTOX® Units?

Dysport® units and BOTOX® units are not equivalent in strength or measurement. Dysport® uses a different unit measurement due to its unique molecular formulation, typically requiring a conversion ratio of roughly 2.5 to 3 units of Dysport® for every 1 unit of BOTOX®. This difference is purely mathematical and does not mean one product is stronger or less effective than the other.

Does Exercise Impact How Fast Dysport® Wears Off?

High-metabolism individuals and dedicated athletes who engage in intense cardiovascular training frequently process neurotoxins faster. Increased blood circulation and daily metabolic activity can shorten Dysport’s average 3-month duration to roughly 2 to 2.5 months, requiring slightly more frequent maintenance sessions.

Does Dysport® Migrate to Unintended Areas of the Face?

Dysport’s natural diffusion creates exceptionally smooth, soft results across larger treatment zones. In expert hands, migration is never an issue—Dr. Bracci’s precise micro-dosing and deep anatomical mastery ensure targeted, controlled outcomes every time.

Does Dysport® Affect Sensitive Skin?

No. Dysport® bypasses surface skin layers to target underlying muscles directly, making it safe for patients with skin sensitivities or topical allergies.
