Dysport is an injectable treatment that reduces the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, specifically frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. It targets specific facial muscles, helping you achieve a smoother, more youthful look.
Suppress Unwanted
Facial Wrinkles and Creases
Dysport in San Antonio is an injectable neuromodulator used to treat wrinkles and fine lines by temporarily relaxing specific facial muscles. This FDA-approved treatment works by blocking nerve signals to the muscles, reducing their activity, and smoothing out the overlying skin. Dysport is particularly effective for addressing dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles. With quick and minimally invasive procedures, Dysport offers noticeable results within a few days, helping you achieve a more youthful and refreshed appearance without the need for surgery or extensive downtime.
What Does Dysport Treat?
- Frown lines between the eyebrows
- Crow’s feet around the eyes
- Forehead wrinkles
- Bunny lines on the nose
- Lip lines
- Chin dimpling
- Neck bands (platysmal bands)
- Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis)
How Does Dysport® Work?
Dysport in San Antonio works by using a neurotoxin called botulinum toxin type A to temporarily paralyze specific muscles. When injected, Dysport blocks the release of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter responsible for muscle contractions. This prevents the targeted muscles from contracting, leading to a reduction in the appearance of dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements. Dysport’s precise action on muscle activity helps smooth out wrinkles, providing a more youthful and rejuvenated facial appearance with minimal discomfort.
Dysport vs. Botox
Dysport and Botox are both FDA-approved neuromodulators that use botulinum toxin type A to smooth wrinkles by relaxing facial muscles. While both treat dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines and crow’s feet, Dysport’s formulation spreads more easily over larger areas, making it ideal for treating broader zones like the forehead. Dysport also has a slightly faster onset, with results visible in 2-3 days compared to 3-5 days with Botox.
Ultimately, the choice between the two depends on individual goals and your provider’s recommendation for optimal results.

What To Expect When Getting Dysport® in San Antonio
During your session for Dysport in San Antonio, you will start with a consultation to discuss your goals and medical history. Once you’re ready, your provider will cleanse the treatment area and may apply a topical anesthetic for comfort. Using a fine needle, they will inject Dysport into specific facial muscles. The procedure takes 10-20 minutes. You might feel a slight pinch, but discomfort is minimal. After the injections, you can resume your normal activities — no downtime required.
Dysport® Recovery & Aftercare
After your Dysport treatment, you may experience mild redness, swelling, or bruising at the injection sites, which usually subsides within a few hours to a couple of days. Most patients resume normal activities immediately, as there is minimal downtime. However, you should avoid rubbing or massaging the treated areas to prevent the product from migrating and refrain from strenuous exercise, alcohol, and excessive sun exposure for 24 hours. You should also keep your head elevated and avoid lying down for at least four hours post-treatment.
Am I A Candidate For Dysport?
Dysport is ideal for individuals looking to reduce dynamic wrinkles, such as frown lines, crow’s feet, and forehead wrinkles, without surgery. It is also effective for treating bunny lines, lip lines, chin dimpling, neck bands, and excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis). The ideal candidates are healthy adults with mild to moderate wrinkles caused by repeated facial movements. However, you should not receive Dysport if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, have a neuromuscular disorder, or are allergic to botulinum toxin.
During a consultation, your provider will assess your medical history, skin condition, and aesthetic goals to determine if Dysport is right for you.

Dysport FAQs
How much does Dysport cost in San Antonio?
The cost of Dysport in San Antonio can vary depending on the number of units required, the area being treated, and your treatment goals. Since everyone’s facial anatomy and aesthetic preferences are different, it’s best to schedule a consultation. Our team will assess your concerns and provide a customized treatment plan, along with transparent pricing that reflects your unique needs.
Is Dysport safer than fillers?
Dysport and dermal fillers are both FDA-approved and widely used, but they serve different purposes. Dysport works by relaxing muscles to reduce dynamic wrinkles, while fillers add volume to targeted areas. Neither is universally “safer” than the other, but Dysport tends to have fewer risks of lumps or asymmetry, especially when administered by skilled injectors like those at our practice.
What are the downsides of Dysport?
While Dysport is generally safe and well-tolerated, there are some potential downsides. Temporary side effects may include mild swelling, bruising, or redness at the injection site. In rare cases, patients may experience a droop in the eyelid or uneven results. These effects typically resolve on their own once the effects wear off. Working with a highly trained provider minimizes these risks.
Does Dysport look more natural?
Yes, many patients find that Dysport delivers a very natural look. Because it spreads slightly more than Botox, it can offer a softer appearance across broader areas, such as the forehead. When injected precisely, Dysport smooths lines without making you look frozen, just more relaxed and youthful. Schedule a consultation with us to see if it’s the right fit for your goals.
