Dysport Injections in Alpharetta

Dysport is a prescription botulinum toxin type A injection that temporarily reduces activity in targeted muscles. For cosmetic use, Dysport is FDA approved to temporarily improve moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows in adults under 65. By reducing the muscle activity that contributes to these expression lines, Dysport can create a smoother appearance while preserving movement in untreated areas.

Dysport is FDA approved cosmetically for moderate-to-severe frown lines between the eyebrows. Providers may also use Dysport in other areas when clinically appropriate, including the forehead, crow’s feet, chin, nose, or masseter muscles. Those uses fall outside the approved cosmetic indication, and we will tell you when that applies to your plan.

Some patients begin noticing improvement as early as 24 hours after Dysport injections, with results typically becoming noticeable within 2 to 3 days. Individual response varies, and the appearance can continue changing as the treatment takes effect.

For FDA-approved treatment of frown lines between the eyebrows, Dysport results last 3 to 5 months. Duration varies from person to person, so your provider can recommend a maintenance schedule based on how your results develop.

Dysport does not have to create a frozen appearance. Results depend on factors such as dosing, placement, facial anatomy, and the muscles being treated. At GENEVA Med, treatment is personalized with the goal of softening targeted lines while maintaining natural-looking facial expression. Dysport’s clinical materials specifically emphasize natural-looking results and continued movement in untreated facial muscles.

Dysport and Botox are both prescription botulinum toxin type A neuromodulators that temporarily reduce targeted muscle activity, but they are different products with different formulations and dosing systems. Their units are not interchangeable or directly convertible, so the best option depends on your treatment history, anatomy, areas being treated, and goals.

Your dose depends on which area is being treated and how strong the muscle is. For its FDA-approved treatment of frown lines between the eyebrows, the recommended Dysport dose is 50 units divided among five injection points. Other areas call for different approaches. Dysport units are product specific and cannot be converted to Botox units.

At GENEVA Med in Alpharetta, Dysport is $5 per unit for new patients and $6 per unit standard. What you pay comes down to which area is treated and how many units that area needs, so we confirm the number with you before treating.

Dysport typically requires little to no downtime, and most patients can return to their day after treatment. Temporary injection-site reactions can occur. Your GENEVA provider will give you specific aftercare instructions based on your treatment and can advise you about exercise, skincare, touching the treated areas, and other activities following your injections.

Dysport is FDA approved for its indicated uses, but like any prescription treatment, it can cause side effects. Reported effects include injection-site reactions, headache, eyelid swelling or drooping, and other temporary symptoms. Dysport also carries a boxed warning because botulinum toxin effects can rarely spread beyond the injection site and cause potentially serious symptoms. Your provider should review your medical history and relevant risks before treatment.

How often you receive Dysport depends on how you respond and your treatment goals. For cosmetic treatment of glabellar lines, repeat treatment should not be administered more frequently than every 3 months. Your provider can recommend an appropriate maintenance schedule as your results begin to wear off.
