Overview

What Is Dysport?

Dysport is a popular injectable treatment designed to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles caused by facial expressions. A form of botulinum toxin type A, similar to BOTOX®, it is administered by Dr. Rocco Piazza’s nonsurgical rejuvenation team at The Piazza Center in Austin, TX. Dysport and BOTOX work in a similar way — both are FDA-approved neuromodulators that block the nerve signals telling muscles to contract, keeping them relaxed until the effect wears off. Dysport’s formula, however, is less concentrated, which means it spreads more easily and can act faster across the treated area.

At a Glance

Everything You Need to Know

01

Treatment Areas

Forehead lines, frown lines between the eyebrows, crow’s feet, bunny lines on the nose, upper lip lines, and neck bands.

02

How It Works

A neuromodulator that blocks nerve signals to the targeted muscles, relaxing the repeated-movement patterns — like frowning and squinting — that create dynamic wrinkles.

03

Onset & Duration

Results often appear in 2–3 days — faster than BOTOX’s typical 3–5 days — and fully peak in about a week. Results generally last 3–4 months.

04

Recovery

Minimal downtime. Slight redness, swelling, or bruising at injection sites usually resolves within a few days; avoid strenuous exercise, lying down, or massaging the area for at least 4 hours.

Why Choose Dysport

The benefits,
fast and natural.

Dysport offers a quick, minimally invasive way to soften the dynamic wrinkles caused by repeated facial expressions — with an onset that beats BOTOX and virtually no downtime. Dr. Piazza’s nonsurgical team tailors every treatment to relax the right muscles while preserving natural movement and expression.

  1. 01

    Quick & Minimally Invasive

    The entire treatment typically takes just 15–30 minutes, with a topical anesthetic available to minimize discomfort.

  2. 02

    Faster Onset Than BOTOX

    Results are often visible in 2–3 days, compared to BOTOX’s typical 3–5 days, so improvement shows up sooner.

  3. 03

    Wider, Even Spread

    Dysport’s less concentrated formula diffuses more easily, making it well suited to broader areas like the forehead.

  4. 04

    Natural-Looking Results

    Relaxes the muscles behind expression lines while leaving normal smiling, talking, and eating unaffected — never “frozen.”

  5. 05

    No Downtime

    Resume work or social plans immediately after your appointment — there’s no recovery period to plan around.

  6. 06

    Combines Easily

    Pairs well with dermal fillers, chemical peels, and laser treatments as part of a complete Annual Skincare Plan.

Real Results

Smoother eyes,
in one lunch break.

Crow’s feet are among the most commonly treated areas with Dysport — the muscles that cause squint lines around the eyes relax within days, softening fine lines while leaving your smile completely natural.

Dysport vs. BOTOX

How Dysport Compares

Similarities

  • Both are botulinum toxin type A products
  • Both block nerve signals to relax targeted muscles
  • Both are FDA-approved for cosmetic use
  • Both offer temporary results requiring maintenance

Differences

  • Dysport’s less concentrated formula spreads more easily over larger areas
  • Results often appear in 2–3 days versus BOTOX’s typical 3–5 days
  • Some patients find Dysport’s effects last slightly longer, though this varies by individual

Investment

Cost & financing.

Dysport pricing depends on the number of units and treatment areas, customized to your goals at your consultation. Dr. Piazza’s team will provide a detailed cost outline, and flexible financing and savings plans are available through Cherry, CareCredit®, and PatientFi.

Results

Look Refreshed, Not “Done.”

Most patients see full results within about a week, once the treated muscles fully relax and dynamic wrinkles soften or disappear entirely. Because Dysport works gradually and leaves normal expression intact, results look natural rather than frozen.

Results typically last 3–4 months, and most patients return on that same schedule for maintenance treatment to keep their refreshed appearance consistent.
