One of the most common treatments for wrinkles and fine lines is Dysport injections. Similar to Botox injections, it is a low-cost, effective solution for creating smoother, younger-looking skin on the face.

What is Dysport?
In 2010, Medicis introduced Dysport™ to the aesthetic market. Dysport works like Botox®, and like Botox, Dysport is FDA-approved for the treatment of frown lines in the forehead and brow area.
Dysport is a natural, purified protein that works to prevent nerve impulses from reaching targeted muscles. As a form of botulinum toxin, it’s injected under the skin to prevent muscle contraction. With the muscles relaxed, you enjoy smoother skin. Dysport is a quick and safe procedure that smooths lines between your eyebrows, on your forehead, and around your eyes.

Dysport Procedures in Salt Lake City
Enjoy the same wrinkle-reducing results as Botox while saving on the cost per unit. Opting for Dysport doesn’t compromise quality when it comes to addressing lines around the eyes, mouth, forehead, and nasolabial folds.
Here’s what we can treat with Dysport:
Dynamic Wrinkles (Mimic Lines) – these lines and wrinkles are caused by repetitive facial movements, such as smiling or raising eyebrows, and result in set folds in the face.
Static Wrinkles (Gravitational Folds) – these lines and wrinkles are caused as a result of a loss of facial elasticity, which allows gravity to pull the skin down.
Dysport injections from Barr Aesthetics can address both of these types of wrinkles, targeting specific injection areas including:
- Forehead and Brow: Address the horizontal pleats of the forehead that are caused by raising your eyebrows.
- Glabellar and Frown Lines (the 11s): Soften the lines between the eyebrows.
- Crow’s Feet: Reduce the appearance of these fine lines that form at the outside corners of the eyes.
- Bunny Lines: These are the wrinkles that form around the nose when it’s scrunched up.
- Lipstick Lines: Dysport can soften the fine lines above the lips that appear when lips are pursed.
- Marionette and Purse String Wrinkles: As nasolabial folds deepen, strong creases can appear laterally around the mouth and nose.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dysport
What is Dysport?
Dysport is an FDA-approved botulinum toxin that can be injected under facial skin to reduce lines and wrinkles.
Is Dysport the same as Botox?
While similar, Dysport is different from Botox. It has less protein than Botox.
Is Dysport a dermal filler?
No. Dermal fillers are used to add plumpness and volume. Dysport freezes muscles under the skin without increasing volume.
Is Dysport for men and women?
Dysport can be used by both men and women who visit Barr Aesthetics.
Where is Dysport injected?
Dysport is most commonly injected in the space between your eyebrows, also known as the glabellar lines (the 11s).
How much Dysport do I need?
Dr. Barr will determine how many units you need based on the areas you want to treat. Everybody is unique and will require differing amounts of Dysport to get the desired results. Some people only require 2 units, while others may need up to 30 units.
How long does Dysport last?
You should see full results in the week following your injection(s), which can last up to four months.
What does the healing process look like?
There is practically no downtime required following a Dysport injection. You may experience redness and swelling at each injection site, which can look like a small bug bite.
After Dysport has been injected, we recommend you avoid rubbing your face to prevent migration of the product under the skin.
Potential side effects of Dysport
The most common side effects are mild, and include:
- Headache
- Discomfort at the injection sites
- Allergic reaction to Dysport protein
- Sinus problems
- Sore throat
- Nausea
