Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable treatment that temporarily relaxes facial muscles responsible for expression lines, delivering a refreshed, youthful appearance while maintaining natural facial movement. Unlike some competitors, Dysport’s unique formulation spreads slightly more evenly, often leading to faster onset and more natural-looking results, particularly for forehead lines, crow’s feet, and glabellar lines (the “11s” between eyebrows).
At The Collins Center, Dr. Beth Collins combines her surgical precision, artistic eye, and advanced injection techniques to deliver Dysport treatments that rejuvenate your appearance while preserving your natural expressions and unique facial character.
Treatable Areas
- Glabellar lines (vertical “11” lines between eyebrows)
- Forehead lines and horizontal wrinkles
- Crow’s feet around the outer eyes
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Eyebrow lifting and shaping
- Masseter muscles for facial slimming and TMJ relief
- Perioral lines (smoker’s lines around the mouth)
- Platysmal bands in the neck
- Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) under arms, palms, or feet
How Dysport Works
Dysport contains abobotulinumtoxinA, a purified protein that temporarily blocks nerve signals to specific facial muscles, preventing them from contracting and causing wrinkles. Dr. Collins strategically injects tiny amounts of Dysport precisely where needed to relax only the wrinkle-causing muscles while preserving your natural facial expressions.
The treatment takes just 15-20 minutes, using ultra-fine needles that cause minimal discomfort. Most patients describe the sensation as a brief pinch, and Dr. Collins can provide topical numbing cream if desired. There’s no downtime – you can return to your normal activities immediately after treatment, though you should avoid strenuous exercise, lying down, or touching the treated area for 4 hours post-treatment.
Results begin to appear within 2-3 days and fully develop within a week, lasting approximately 3-4 months. Over time, with regular treatments, the muscles gradually weaken, often allowing for less frequent maintenance sessions.
Whether you need surgical precision, metabolic wellness, or non-surgical refinement, we look at the big picture. Let’s design a unified treatment plan that addresses your health and beauty under one roof.

FAQs about Dysport
How is Dysport different from Botox?
While both are neuromodulators that work similarly, Dysport has a slightly different formulation that may spread more evenly and activate more quickly. Some patients find Dysport provides a more natural look, especially in larger treatment areas like the forehead. Dr. Collins can discuss which option might be best for your specific concerns during consultation.
How long does Dysport last?
Most patients enjoy results for 3-4 months before requiring maintenance treatment. With regular sessions, some patients find their results last progressively longer as the targeted muscles become weaker over time.
Is Dysport treatment painful?
Most patients report minimal discomfort during treatment. The ultra-fine needles used for injection cause only a brief pinching sensation. Dr. Collins can apply topical numbing cream before treatment for those with lower pain thresholds.
Will I look “frozen” or unnatural after Dysport?
No. Dr. Collins’ approach emphasizes natural-looking results that preserve appropriate facial movement and expression. She customizes each treatment to ensure you look refreshed and youthful while still looking like yourself.
How soon will I see results from Dysport?
Many patients notice initial improvement within 2-3 days, with full results developing within 7-10 days. This is typically faster than some competitor products.
Is there any downtime after treatment?
There’s no downtime required. You can resume normal activities immediately after treatment, though you should avoid strenuous exercise, lying down flat, or touching the treated area for about 4 hours post-treatment to prevent the product from migrating.
Can I combine Dysport with other treatments?
Absolutely. Dysport works exceptionally well alongside dermal fillers, which address volume loss rather than muscle movement. This combination approach, often called a “liquid facelift,” provides comprehensive facial rejuvenation without surgery.
How do I know if Dysport is right for me?
The best way to determine if Dysport is suitable for your concerns is through a personalized consultation with Dr. Collins. She’ll assess your facial anatomy, discuss your goals, and recommend the most appropriate treatment approach for your specific needs.
