What Is Dysport®?
Dysport® is a brand name for a medication called abobotulinum toxin A. It’s very much like Botox®, but with a slightly different outcome in most cases. It’s not actually as dramatic as Botox, so it appears more natural. While it is a type of botulinum toxin that’s used to rid your face of wrinkles, it’s also useful to treat medical conditions like:
- Muscle spasms
- Cervical dystonia
- Muscle stiffness
- Neck pain
- Excessive sweating
Dysport blocks nerve signals that cause muscles to contract, which reduces muscle spasticity and improves your appearance. It’s injected directly into the affected muscles. Effects are immediate, so that you can even return to work afterwards if you’re so inclined. But since it’s a prescription medication, it must be administered by a licensed professional.

This place was very good. The kindness and helpfulness of the staff was awesome. I loved Jess and my massages from Maribel..she was so good I wanted an 8 ounce bottle of milk and my bed after. Overall Dr. Shokrian was very honest in what he could do and what he couldn't which made my choice even easier.

How Does Dysport Work?
Dysport is a neurotoxin that’s used to temporarily reduce muscle activity. It works by blocking the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter that sends signals from nerves to muscles, thereby inhibiting muscle contractions. It’s especially useful for getting rid of those frown lines between your eyebrows, crow’s feet on the sides of your eyes and forehead lines.
When Dysport is injected into specific muscles, it binds to the nerve endings and prevents the release of acetylcholine. This, in turn, reduces the activity of the targeted muscles, resulting in a relaxation of those muscles. The effects typically last for several months, after which you can repeat the treatment if desired. While your treatment is specifically designed for your needs, the process follows a basic set of steps that typically include:
- Cleaning the area that’s going to receive the injection
- Injecting the compound into your muscles with a very fine needle that you barely feel
- Waiting for about 30 minutes to ensure you don’t have any adverse reaction to the injections
- Returning every four to six months for a booster
Who Can Benefit from Dysport?
If you’re in good overall health and have realistic expectations about the outcome of your Dysport treatment, there’s a good chance that you may benefit from this medication. But Dysport isn’t suitable for everyone, particularly if you:
- Are allergic to any of the ingredients in Dysport
- Have a skin infection at the injection site
- Have a history of allergic reactions to the botulinum toxin
- Are pregnant or breastfeeding
- Have certain medical conditions, such as myasthenia gravis, Eaton-Lambert syndrome, diabetes or a bleeding disorder
- Have a breathing disorder like emphysema or asthma
The benefits of Dysport far outweigh the slight side effects you may experience, which abate within a couple days and may include minimal bruising, swelling and redness at the injection sites. Additional benefits you get from Dysport in NYC include:
- It’s appropriate for anyone at any age who’s unhappy with early signs of aging.
- You can have more than one area treated during the same session.
- Your treatment may be covered by insurance if it’s used to treat excessive sweating or other painful conditions.
- It can also be used as a preventative measure to keep those facial lines at bay.
Is Dysport Safe?
Like any medication, Dysport has potential risks and side effects. But when used as prescribed by a healthcare professional, it’s generally considered safe. In fact, it’s so safe that the FDA approved the use of Dysport for children over the age of two with spasticity problems in their muscles and joints.
Choosing an experienced clinician to provide you with your regular Dysport injections is one of the most important steps you can do to secure your safety. And in Midtown Manhattan, that medical spa treatment team is at Millennial Plastic Surgery. Contact the MedSpa today to set up an appointment.
