Fine lines and wrinkles are a natural part of aging, but that doesn’t mean you have to live with them. Dysport is an advanced neuromodulator treatment that helps smooth away expression lines while maintaining natural facial movement. With quick, precise treatments and no downtime, Dysport is a popular choice for patients seeking a refreshed, confident appearance.
At SkinSmart Dermatology, Dr. Elizabeth F. Callahan personally performs all injectable treatments, including Dysport. As a double board-certified dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon with decades of experience, Dr. Callahan combines medical expertise with an artistic touch to ensure balanced, beautiful results. Patients from across Florida trust her precision and dedication to natural outcomes in cosmetic treatments.
What Is Dysport?
Dysport is an FDA-approved injectable neuromodulator that relaxes the small facial muscles responsible for dynamic wrinkles. Temporarily reducing muscle movement, it smooths fine lines and softens creases that form with repeated expressions such as frowning, squinting, or smiling. Results develop gradually, giving the skin a smoother, more youthful appearance without a frozen look.
How Dysport Works
When injected into targeted facial muscles, Dysport blocks the nerve signals that cause those muscles to contract. This process allows the overlying skin to relax, reducing the appearance of lines and wrinkles. Treatments take only a few minutes and can be done during a lunch break. Common treatment areas include:
- Frown lines between the eyebrows.
- Forehead creases.
- Crow’s feet around the eyes.
- Lip lines.
- Downturned mouth corners.
Most patients notice visible improvement within 3 to 5 days, with full results appearing after about 1 week. Effects typically last three to four months before a touch-up may be desired.
Benefits of Dysport
Dysport offers several advantages for patients seeking subtle yet noticeable rejuvenation. Here are some key benefits:
- Natural-looking results:Â Maintains expression while softening lines.
- Quick and convenient:Â Appointments take less than 30 minutes.
- Little to no downtime:Â Return to your daily routine right after treatment.
- Preventive care:Â Can delay the formation of deeper wrinkles over time.
Because Dysport spreads slightly more than some other neuromodulators, it’s ideal for treating broader areas like the forehead and between the brows.
What to Expect During Treatment
Your Dysport appointment at SkinSmart Dermatology begins with a personalized consultation. Dr. Callahan carefully evaluates your facial anatomy, muscle movement, and skin condition to create a customized injection plan. Using a fine needle, she administers precise doses to achieve even, natural results. You may experience minor redness or swelling at the injection site, which typically subsides within a few hours.
Results appear within days and last for several months. Regular maintenance sessions can help preserve a smooth, refreshed appearance year-round.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dysport
How does Dysport differ from Botox?
While both are neuromodulators that relax facial muscles, Dysport tends to spread more easily, making it ideal for treating larger areas such as the forehead. Botox is often preferred for smaller, more targeted regions. Dr. Callahan will determine which is best for your specific goals.
Can Dysport help with excessive sweating?
Yes, Dysport can be used to manage hyperhidrosis, or excessive sweating, by temporarily blocking the nerve signals that activate sweat glands. This treatment can provide relief for several months in areas such as the underarms or palms.
What should I avoid before my appointment?
To minimize bruising and swelling, avoid alcohol, aspirin, and other blood-thinning medications for 24 to 48 hours before treatment. Staying hydrated and following pre-treatment instructions ensures a smoother experience.
Is Dysport safe for men?
Absolutely. Many men choose Dysport to reduce wrinkles while maintaining natural facial expression. The treatment can soften lines for a refreshed, confident look.
When should I schedule my next Dysport session?
Most patients schedule maintenance appointments every three to four months to maintain their results. Regular treatments can also help train facial muscles to stay relaxed longer.
