Smooth Wrinkles and Revitalize Your Look with Dysport Injection Treatment.
Are you noticing stubborn wrinkles or lines that have become more prominent with age?
Dysport injections at True Jewel Cosmetic Center in Playa Vista, CA, can help restore a youthful and refreshed appearance without surgery. This quick and effective non-invasive treatment targets frown lines and other dynamic wrinkles, leaving you with a smooth, natural-looking result.
Dysport is a popular alternative to Botox for clients seeking a natural yet noticeable reduction in wrinkles. Whether you’re new to neurotoxins or looking for a trusted option for wrinkle prevention, our expert team is here to guide you through the treatment process and help you achieve your cosmetic goals.
What is Dysport and How Does It Work?
Dysport is a neuromodulator used to temporarily reduce muscle activity in targeted areas of the face. It is FDA-approved and has a long track record of safety and success, making it a preferred choice for smoothing facial lines and wrinkles. Like other wrinkle relaxers, Dysport works by blocking the nerve signals that tell muscles to contract. When the muscles are relaxed, the skin above them smooths out, reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
What sets Dysport apart from other neurotoxins is its slightly faster onset and broader spread. This makes it particularly effective for larger areas like the forehead and crow’s feet, allowing for more even results with fewer injections.
How Dysport Injections Work
Dysport is injected directly into the muscles responsible for creating wrinkles. Once injected, it works by inhibiting the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that signals the muscles to contract. By temporarily limiting muscle movement, Dysport smooths out the skin and reduces the appearance of dynamic wrinkles, which form from repetitive facial movements like frowning and squinting.
The effects of Dysport develop gradually over the course of a few days as the muscle relaxation takes effect. Clients begin to see visible results within 3-5 days, with full effects appearing in 7-10 days. Dysport does not freeze your face, but instead softens lines, allowing for natural expression without the harsh lines or furrows.
Areas That Dysport Works Best
Dysport is primarily used to target dynamic wrinkles, which are caused by muscle contractions. The most common areas treated with Dysport include:
Glabellar Lines (Frown Lines): The vertical lines between your eyebrows that deepen when you frown. Dysport softens these lines, giving you a more relaxed and refreshed look.
Forehead Creases: Horizontal lines that form across the forehead due to repetitive raising of the eyebrows. Dysport relaxes the muscles to smooth these lines.
Crow’s Feet: Fine lines that appear around the outer corners of the eyes from smiling or squinting. Dysport softens these lines, rejuvenating the eye area.
Bunny Lines: Wrinkles that form on the nose when you wrinkle it. Dysport can reduce the appearance of these lines, giving your face a smoother, more youthful look.
Chin Dimpling: Also known as “orange peel” skin, Dysport can smooth out the skin on the chin by relaxing the muscles that cause dimpling.
Downturned Mouth Corners: If your mouth corners turn downwards as you age, Dysport can help relax the muscles and restore a more youthful, neutral expression.
Neck Bands: In some cases, Dysport can be used to treat visible lines and bands on the neck, providing a subtle lifting effect.
Dysport can be combined with dermal fillers or other rejuvenation treatments for comprehensive facial enhancement.
Who Is a Good Candidate for Dysport?
Dysport is ideal for individuals who want to reduce the appearance of wrinkles caused by repetitive facial movements without undergoing surgery. You may be a good candidate if:
- You have moderate to severe dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines or crow’s feet.
- You are generally healthy and not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You want a non-invasive treatment with minimal downtime.
- You are seeking subtle, natural-looking results.
- You want to prevent further wrinkle formation or address existing wrinkles before they become more pronounced.
Dysport is suitable for most adults but may not be appropriate for those with certain neuromuscular disorders or allergies to any components of the product.
During your consultation at True Jewel Cosmetic Center, we will evaluate your goals and determine whether Dysport is the best option for you.
What to Expect Before, During, and After Your Dysport Treatment
Before Treatment
To ensure optimal results and minimize any risks, we recommend taking the following steps before your Dysport appointment:
- Avoid blood-thinning medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or fish oil, for 24–48 hours before your treatment.
- Refrain from consuming alcohol 24 hours prior to your appointment.
- Eat a light meal or snack before the procedure to prevent lightheadedness.
- Arrive with clean skin, free of makeup or skincare products.
During your consultation, we will also review your medical history and discuss any allergies or previous cosmetic procedures you may have had.
During Treatment
Dysport injections are quick and relatively comfortable. After reviewing your treatment goals, your provider will mark the areas to be treated and apply a fine needle to inject Dysport into the targeted muscles. The procedure typically takes 15 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of areas being treated.
While you may feel a brief pinching or slight discomfort during the injections, most clients find the procedure to be well-tolerated. The use of a topical numbing cream can help reduce any sensitivity.
After Treatment
After your Dysport session, there is no required downtime. Most clients return to work or their daily activities immediately. However, we recommend the following aftercare steps:
- Avoid strenuous exercise and heat (like saunas or hot yoga) for 24 hours after your treatment.
- Do not lie down or massage the treated area for at least 4 hours to prevent the product from spreading to unintended muscles.
- Skip alcohol and anti-inflammatory medications for 24 hours after treatment to reduce the risk of bruising and swelling.
Some mild redness, swelling, or headaches may occur but typically resolve within a few hours to a day. Your provider will give you specific aftercare instructions to ensure you achieve the best possible results.
How Long Do Dysport Results Last?
Dysport’s effects typically last 3 to 4 months, although some clients experience results for up to 5 months with regular treatments. You’ll start seeing improvements within 3-5 days, with full results visible in about a week.
While the results are not permanent, Dysport can help “train” the muscles to contract less frequently with repeated treatments, potentially extending the benefits. Regular touch-ups every 3 to 4 months will help maintain the youthful, relaxed appearance.

Can I apply makeup after my Dysport treatment?
It’s best to avoid applying makeup for a few hours after the treatment to prevent irritation. After that, you can gently apply makeup as usual, but avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas.
How long does the Dysport treatment take?

Most side effects, like mild redness or bruising, will resolve on their own within a few days. If you experience any unusual or severe side effects, such as difficulty swallowing or breathing, seek immediate medical attention. Your provider will guide you on any necessary steps to take.
Is Dysport a permanent treatment?
